Copyright Your Shit!!!

In relation to the title up there, I say that in the aspect on music, don't get it twisted though.. I'm a rapper, sometimes its easier to get the point across if you simplify things..

As a musician, I cannot help but stress the fact that copyrighting is a basic necessity when it comes to the songs you make. We all know that there's just always that one person who feels that they couldn't have done it better, and then steals your stuff claiming it to be his. In the world we live in today, with people constantly trying to find a loophole and having your own material stolen from you after having worked hard to make it is not a nice feeling.

No matter if you claim you're local, its a matter of time before your song heads out there and since people always work on assumptions, some would assume that you didn't "copyright your shit" and try to take what is rightfully yours, prove them wrong... SAMRO has made it so easy for you Southern Africans yet you still haven't found the need to utilise the resources handed to you on a silver platter? Show them you're proud of your art, copyright your material.


FleezySA

So here we are, it is a marvellous season as we see Pietermaritzburg’s artists gear up to run the town.

This is actually amazing due to the fact that the hip-hop scene is looking hectic yet Fleezy, a rapper from Pietermaritzburg, is in his form and couldn't care less about what the critics say. With his hit single titled “PhuziJuice” (Which means “Drinking Juice”) causing a scene and giving him major buzz, it is said to be one of the most chilled songs out there as the moment. Featuring O.F.A from his team called HLM Gang; it is safe to say that he chose the right person to feature on the track. Then after, he is featured by Teelley – a former member of the HLM Gang who decided to go solo sometime after the crew was formed - on a song called “DON” on which we hear his crew’s trademark (HLM k’shiph utsotsi for life) just before he mentions his single. Astonishingly, Fleezy is still in school – along with the whole HLM Gang – and with such vibrance, people would even doubt that he can balance his musical life with his academic life. I can say without a doubt that there is a balance indeed when it comes to the case and that we have not heard the last of Fleezy, so stay tuned for more.

B3nchMarQ - Ta-Range || Free D/L Link

I must say that I admire the amount of hard work and dedication that our people have put towards moving the South African music scene forward..Before I go on and on, I'd like to send a S/O to the Rap Duo "B3nchMarQ" and say that these guys have more than what they need to reach their goals.. With a hit single - which already has a music video - titled Ta-Range which is produced by none other than XLR (Which I must say are doing a very good job in terms of beat production), these guys certainly know what it is that they want..

[TM] Records Signing New Talent Soon

[TM] Records is at it again as there has been news that the company will be signing a lot more artists around the December holidays. It had been said that the Pietermaritzburg based label had been wanting to sign the artists throughout the course of the year but had yet to do so due to a few minor issues, which caused the signing of the artists to be postponed to a later stage of this current year. South Africa will be starting 2015 with a bang as these new-comers will show the world what they're made of.

The Come Up Prince

A lot of people are doing it out there, and i repeat, A LOT!! The only difference when it comes to them is who's dope and who isn't.. In the case of XsquaredSA I can safely stand and say without a doubt is that he is among the dope rappers. With a hit single called Faded in which he alone managed to amass over 550 downloads, just off of Facebook & Twitter, he shall soon be dominating the industry. Soon to be dropping another hit single titled "Come Up Prince", this musician is surely on the road to greatness..

The Draft

On behalf of Pietermaritzburg, I'd like to thank KayDee for representing our city in terms of SA Hip-Hop. Lucid Records is doing an exceptional job on the artist who just recently dropped a mixtape called, The Draft. This mixtape has accumulated over 4400 Downloads and is available for free download.. KayDee has inspired a lot of PMB artists to do their thing and believe in themselves no matter what others think, and for this, we need to thank the Young King..

SA Hip-Hop

South African Hip-Hop is elevating. slowly, we are trying to get our music to the international standard.. I can safely say that with artists like Kid X, Smashis, Kwesta, Cassper Nyovest, KO, AKA, etc... We are moving towards the direction where our sound as a country will once again be relevant to the rest of the world..
