The South African Hip Hop Awards are taking place earlier than usual this year. They happen on the 20th of November 2019 at the Gold Reef City Lyric Theatre. This year's categories and nominees have recently been announced. The live announcement went down on Instagram and Facebook, true to this years theme which is "the revolution will be computerized" There's a couple of categories that's been canned like Kings Of Province, Crews and Graffiti. Now, looking at this year's categories and doing a lil comparison with last year's, or even further than that I Wonder if there's been any solid growth in the game and if the awards are risking becoming monotonous.. The most refreshing categories is the new entrants on Freshman category , new sound and artists on collabos and remixes at times. The rest of the categories though, seem to be a repetition of previous contenders. "Best Lyricist" is easily predictable. The list rotates around Tri

Dr Feel was born in a family that's talented and had the creative knack. His father was a guitarist, elder brothers were musicians too. He believes he was not only born within this life but also born and destined for it. He's tried swerving into another direction, going into different careers and jobs but none of them made him happy and at peace like making music. Dr. Feel has years of experience, experimenting and wins and looses too under his arm and they are the reasons he has kept on.

Scoring yourself an interview is a progressive move, no doubt, but it does not end there. Once you've secured it, you need to prepare for it, to be able to best sell you! No! Interview preparations aren't just for "job interviews" You need to bring your A-game and your premium moves. So here below, in no particular order are 10 pointers I've managed to outline that might serve useful to you. 1. Be early and prepared. Respect the call time! Being early gives you time to relax an get comfortable. Get familiar with the set up,studio, area where the interview will take place. If you are going to a radio interview, for instance, don't be early and chill outside till your call up. Ask to be let in,use that 15 minutes to watch, observe and catch the energy. When it's your turn you'll just flow right it because you've been around already. That time will also allow you to do a checklist- do you have your promotional material, does your host have

"Had a vision. The primary idea was empowering and building Hip Hop in Burgersfort. I wanted to make sure Hip Hop was not at the mercy of House music but an entity on its own that could host its own gigs and have it own following I also always had a soft spot for charity work, i have love for people and i am concerned about their living conditions, their dreams, their rights and enjoyment of life. When i refocused the passion i have for people in general and rap music, i walked out with Hip Hop Cares.

Even remember something he said that has stuck with me, that links up with his name. I figured maybe it was just what the day commemorated that got him talking this way, but I went on to download some of his music and I realized it was all real, no gimmicks. There's something refreshing about his Music and his take on a lot of things. And me, I like artists who are more than just music talk,so we got to talking.
