If you’re into hip hop, then chances are you’re going to love the next Levi’s® Young Guns gig at the Boxercising Gym in Jozi. Supported but Y Magazine, it’s got a lot going for it, most importantly live performances from F-eezy and Koldproduk, two of Mzansi’s fastest rising rap talents. Of course, it’s sponsored by YFM and it’s going to be another of those awesome Levi’s® Young Guns parties. You know, the ones that take South Africa’s most ruthless and restless acts, challenge them to give their wildest performances ever, and then get them on stage in front of hundreds of diehard fans. It’s like some deviant social experiment where the results are always what’s least expected. Pretty cool, hey? So make sure you’re there when the effects of this one are felt. Don’t come crying if you’re not. Taking the mic on the night is the almighty F-eezy, the young emcee who’s suffering from an attack of the hip hop virus, an illness that makes him break out in spontaneous rhymes, spitting wordplay that’s infected with ups and downs of everyday life, verses that are sick, sick, sick! This man is hardcore. He speaks his truth and for as long as his words hang in the air, it’s the absolute truth. The rest just falls away when he gets going about everything from his love of rap to the hardships he’s faced, themes that came to the fore on his debut album, Gate Khahlela. This is ghetto life uncensored – the soundtrack to the other side. Koldproduk’s also in the house. With their mould-breaking debut album, All Under Heaven, Moki Sage and Kaspa delivered a wake-up call to the local hip hop community: keep up with us if you can. With astonishing style and an acute sense of originality they’ve taken a whole new approach, jamming their tracks full of the vast musical styles that have influenced them. The result is a hybridised, head-turning, heat-seeking hotbed of eclectic beats all layered with a positive messages and super-surprising twists and turns. These boys are hungry. They want to take hip hop to places it’s never dreamed of going to. And if you’re coming down to Levi’s® Young Guns, then...
Levi’s Young Guns goes Boxing
When last did you get your musical kicks in a boxing gym??? We’re giving you nearly a month’s notice about the Levi’s Young Guns event in July featuring the awesome Japan and I and The Kicks… Jozi’s getting colder and colder, except for the first floor of a corner in Norwood where, on Thursday the 24th of July, the heat’s going to be turned up until it reaches boiling point. This is not a fire warning, it’s an invitation to check out the next Levi’s® Young Guns show as it blazes into town, complete with two hot young acts that are going to let off some steam by going straight for the jugular. Japan and I are joined by The Kick in a Boxercising Gym for another evening of fierce rock and rolling. It’s another instalment in the infectious wildfire of independent music that’s been engulfing the country since the tour got started in May. Come get burned. In less than three years Japan and I have made an indelible mark on the local scene with an infectiously uncompromising approach to making music. They’ve put the grrr back into grrrl rock and continue to push boundaries with their indescribable, upbeat blend of ska, punk and do-wa-pee-do. Comprising of three high school friends who share a taste for musical deviance, stylish outfits and big performances, they’ve won hearts and blown minds with mesmerising live shows that combine up-tempo antics with exquisite compositions. Inspired by life, Japan and I have already made a global mark, winning an LA Music Award. But they’re most at home, at home. So don’t miss out on this opportunity to dance to a new sensation. The Kick are good. They’re better than television and UFOs, are violence and sex rolled into one and sound like life…and death. This manic foursome are 100 percent Jozi and totally original. Blessed with the rare ability to build crowds up and then tear them down with distorted guitars, screaming feedback and rich, dark writhing rhythms, they leave a trail of exhausted fans and post-party chaos wherever they perform. Theirs is a psychedelic mix of infectious grooves, blues rock fury and experimental jazz, all mashed together, mixed up and thrown back at ya with a fury and venom that will knock the hardest hardballs back. It’s a rough ride rocking with The Kick, but it’s so, so worth it. Date Thursday, 24 July Venue Boxercising Gym Address 1st floor (on top of Spar) Corner Grant and William Streets Norwood Time Doors open round 20:00 Price R20.00 Contact Annelie Hoffman @ 012 327 6601 / 6163 Tickets are available from the Levi’s®...
