Flesh Krumblez track called "Best". From a #beattape yet to be named. Currently busy with 2 running side by side, keeping my #soul and its #creative side going along.
This started out as something completely different and turned into a #welcomememory of #stonecoldsteveaustin and how those generation of #wrestlingfigures just turned our state of mind into that little boys who saw #wwfwrestling in the #80s and was awe inspiring and scary when we saw #theundertaker enter the ring for the first. True #entertainers and #athletes and the best #promocutters ever.
In between projects, like many of us who are harmlessly inquisitive about technology or learning, I recycle my lyrics by using text to image based AI. This is a result thereof.
My Old School Brothers from the (old) Cape Town Chapters of the Universal Zulu Nation have come together as the WCA (Western Cape All-Stars) to host BBoy/BGirl Battles in what was known as the Mecca of South African if not African Hip Hop during the 80's and 90's, Mitchell's Plain. These individuals have picked up the mantle years after our RSA UZN Chapters faded into HipHopstory and are giving back. The event is on the 1st of July 2023, doors open at 10am and the event blasts off at 12pm at the Westridge Civic Centre in Mitchell's Plain. Peace, Love, Unity, Respect, Equality and Justice and above all, good clean Having Fun. ZULU FORIVER.
Flesh Krumblez track called Tons, from the Sacred Cow: The Beattape. The idea is to take tracks and concepts that are deemed to be Sacred Cows and do my own thing and/or Beat exercises.
Flesh Krumblez is a split from my former character Mr Trevrep One, The Brown Prismatic One who grew into/out of BBoyZuluRa and AmunRa Soul into ZuluRa.
Still writing lyrics as the beats are created but never recording it, only reciting internally when the tracks are played and experienced.
Bit iffy on the article, but it was a published article featuring a bit about the GDP Compilation my crew and I finalised and a photo of Fat MC/Mr Fat and myself at #bushradio during the #headwarmersshow which only reinforced something someone said (but I said NOOIT or fluck off) that Emcees cannot speak with moving the hands around like a dude directing a plane that just landed to the closest bay to bring plane to a complete stop. https://www.instagram.com/p/CoRV022o8Nc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
I really cannot remember what year this is but the most important part is that this interview took place in and around Mitchell's Plain and that the crew known as Black Noise was being interviewed. Hip Hop is tackled by Emile and TMD of the then incarnation of Black Noise.
Not to take away from the interview but the setting of the segments took place in 2 important spots; the one being Westridge City and the other being The Farm.
The Westridge City was a club in Westridge, Mitchell's Plain where we as Universal Zulu Nation members would gather on Saturdays at the matinee and wait for that section of afternoon when the DJ would play some Rap music and we would get lost in the music.
The Farm! The Farm is actually where I met Black Noise outside of the performance setting back in 1990/1991, but it also years later it would be the setting of a great #graffiti competition which was where we forged lifelong friendships with #writers from all over the world.
#throwbackthursday We were told, granted we were teenagers and it was 94/95, that this is the simplest and easiest form of #copyrighting our #music and we followed that formula even after finding out how much it actually cost the clear samples. We never thought that we would have any commercial success, we only made 50 copies of which 5 was spread locally and the remainder posted worldwide. We were creating and celebrating OUR talent. Randomly bumping into a Cape Town Head after he had been in New York and other parts for a while, he said he heard our Primitive Instincts brothers song Plein Reality (Grew up in the projects) on a college radio show. That made me happy that some spirit felt our music and played it on radio. Yes, we had it played on #bushradio on the #headwarmersshow but this felt different. https://www.instagram.com/p/CoJbKHuIPaM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Remembering the #90s when all everyone wanted was to see as many #beatcreators and #bedroomproducers out there pushing boundaries and #creating as much #music as possible and then we received a gift from a giver who had received it from a giver etc.
