THOUGHT...

                                                THOUGHT

Standing, thinking, brewing in my golden pot
In this sedative, I pour adverbs, consonants and adjectives
Just a taste from this potion shall make us multiply
All wanting to testify in poetic justice…
Just the pure scent from the words we write
Make us want to recite and some how rectify all
the misfortunes and confusions happening all around us.
As my potion starts to boil
I pour Africa’s soil as a ploy to revive my African brothers and sisters
Their party wanting egos and
Their one night stand status makes them blind
Starring at truth in the eye, Yet…
Turn their backs and allow the same truth stab their backs.

But along came a thought…

It’s power… infinite
It’s the same thought burning all around us-
From Rastas behind burnt bridges burning fire…
To mc’s under siege battling to own the seven seas
This thought is igniting sparks for poetic justice.

Just for now, let’s allow this thought to freeze time…

Just for now, let’s allow this thought to hypnotize us
I emphasize let’s float on top of words and sympathize for the ignorant.
Just for now, let’s allow this thought to use us
In it’s potion…
So we can be sedatives
for confused minds

Sedatives for confused minds
Sedatives for confused… minds.

SKAAZ IS BACK!

KASI RAP.

He raps with a certain vernacular swagger that oozes streets cred, his lyrics are yet to hit mainstream airwaves however this born rapper continues to deliver a unique sound that is bound to raise heads in the near future.  Simphiwe Chirwa, also known as Skaaz, has spent the better part of the Christmas break fine tuning his latest album titled: KASI MENTALITY.

Some of you know him is the co-founder of Imbawula Arts production, others with more Duduza hip hop intellect- know him as one of 3 members of the now defunct hip hop crew Bon Tsotsi.  This soldier of the game is aiming to raise the bar on what Duduza Hip Hop is all about, or should I say: “Kwatsaduza” hip hop- as he puts it- when he launches his latest album on the 26th of February 2011 at Monty Motloung Hall.  He is sure to make us stand up and take note as on the day Duduza will be invaded by hip hop artists he worked with on the new album- from Lady Devine (kwa-thema) to Iminkhonto (KZN) and also keeping it local with the likes of Black Caesar and Viro and many more artists who also had a hand on the album.

For more details on the album launch, please check your event guide…
To get copies of my interview with Skaaz and also a sneak preview of the new album- keep me posted yeh.
