DJ Double D Opens Assault Case Against Da Les And Cuts Ties With Him!

DJ Double D Opens Assault Case Against Da Les And Cuts Ties With Him! In a wake of shocking and unpleasant news, DJ Double D released an official statement indicating that he will be cutting ties with Da Les. This came after the prominent South African DJ claimed that he was assaulted by the well-decorated SA Hip hop chanter. There is a video of the assault that is doing the rounds on social media and at the time of writing it is still unclear what triggers this unfortunate incident.

The two prominent figures in the SA Hip hop industry have been working well together in the past years. His firm, North Side DJ Tool, hip-hop DJ  Double D  has helped to shape and transform the music industry scenario by giving a platform that has been assisting and nurturing young artists and producers in a huge manner.

This clearly shows how big he is in the hip hop game, and working with Da Les has been a good addition to his craft.

Their vibrant project came out last year when they produced an album Caution To The Wild  that shook the airwaves and caught the SA hip hop audiences by storm. However, this recent debacle between the two will not sit well with most stakeholders in the SA Hip hop game.

Doubled D stated that he does not want to discuss the situation because he needs time to recover from the horrific event and asked everyone to respect this situation as he want the matter to be resolved in a professional manner.

“I would like to confirm that I will be cutting all ties with @2freshles I kindly ask everyone to respect my privacy during this tough time. I will continue to work through my own company Mount Blanc Media & would like to assure all my other clients that we continue as normal,” he tweeted.

As it stands, there are more questions than answers in regards to this issue, and most fans of these two prominent music figures have been trying to make sense of this whole situation. Despite the fact that the DJ did not go into depth about what happened, several of his followers have expressed their support in the comments area on his Twitter post including DJ Zan-D and Sean Pages.

“You’ve been brothers for so long, I’m sure you guys can handle this differently. Anyway I hope you’re ok bro!,” Zan D reacted whilst Sean Pages tried to find a bit of humor in the situation.

Lucasraps on Why Some Of The Best Rappers Come From KZN

Lucasraps Reveals Why Some Of The Best Rappers Come From KZN. Some of the countries hottest rappers hail from KwaZulu Natal, the spotlight has definitely been on the 031 in 2021. One of the hottest SA Hip Hop acts at the moment, Blxckie hails from the coastal province. It will always be a battle as to which province has produced the hottest rappers. The ongoing debate always sparks some interesting comments on the streets. Recently Lucasraps who hails from KZN recently weighed in on the hot debate after a Twitter user asked, why do the best rappers hail from KZN or PTA.

Lucasraps is proud of hailing from the province and despite him staying in the City Of Gold, he knows where his roots are. The rapper even titled his debut album, 031 To The World. Lucasraps shared the secret as to why the province has such talented artists. According to the Slide hitmaker, the secret is in the water, as he claims that there is something different in it. “The water in Durban is just different,” remarked the rapper. One Twitter user claimed that may be the cause for all the heat in KZN is because the rappers all sleep in jeans.

Rapper Loki, who is signed to K.O’s record label Skhanda World remarked that high expectations are a thing in KZN and the bar is very high. “High expectations is part of the culture in KZN …if you’re lame , sok’tshela,” said Loki. The debate of where the best rappers hail will always get people talking, other Twitter users argued that artists only make it to the mainstream when they move to Johannesburg. This could be possibly true as Lucasraps himself made it after he made the big move to Jozi. Lucasraps lied his way to the big city, the young rapper at the time was recording music with DJ Maphorisa. Lucasraps lied to the hit producer about his parents granting him permission to move to Johannesburg, but this was not the case. Luckily Lucasraps’ parents managed to forgive him.

Blxckie has also admitted that moving to Joburg helped his career, in an interview with Breakroom Africa, Blxckie revealed that he might have not made had he not have been ‘stuck’ in Joburg. Blxckie found himself in Joburg when the national lockdown was placed last year in response to the Coronavirus pandemic. “If I had any chance of making it, I needed to be in Joburg. It’s where all the other artists and producers are and everything just happens at a faster pace if you have the drive and work ethic,” shared Blxckie with the publication.

LadiPoe features Fireboy DML on new single, ‘Running’

Ladipoe’s international growth skyrocketed after the success of his recent single ‘Feeling’ alongside breakthrough vocalist BUJU spread across the globe.

Running’ featuring Fireboy DML ahead of his highly anticipated EP next month. Designed to uplift, the instantly contagious song merges Poe’s powerful rap flow and delivery with an anthemic chorus from Fireboy. With production driven by Andre Vibez, ‘Running’ reflects Poe’s musical DNA incorporating his poignant penship and feel-good spirit.

Ladipoe’s international growth skyrocketed after the success of his recent single ‘Feeling’ alongside breakthrough vocalist BUJU spread across the globe.

The track broke records racking up over 80M streams in addition to being the first song in Nigeria to go to No.1 on YouTube without a video. Global impact of the track contributed to a well-earned BET Awards Nomination for Best International Flow which he narrowly missed out on to Little Simz.

Celebrating the success of ‘Feeling’, this summer he spent weeks in the UK immersing himself in the culture, connecting with in demand rapper Millionz before joining Mavin Records label mate Rema on stage at All Points East before returning back to Lagos.

Growing up, Poe had a very different life set out for him, he studied a double major and masters in the US, in North Carolina with the intention of becoming a doctor. It wasn’t until a friend sent him a beat that his obsession for music and writing lyrics began, and the rest they say is history.

He was there at the inception of the highly regarded Alté scene, and has since worked with the likes of Tems, Teni, Falz, Crayon, Simi to name a few. LADIPOE has succeeded in switching things up and changing the narrative surrounding rappers from Nigeria. His lyrics make him stand out within the global rap scene and his lyrics never fail to invoke a reaction.

Kwame Yesu & Ghanaian Stallion taps Ypee for Ma’sem off their upcoming Project “Brought The Rage”

ReBo Tribe’s Kwame Yesu links up again with frequent collaborator Ghanaian Stallion, alongside Ypee of the Asakaa drill community for their first single “MA’SEM” off their forthcoming joint project.

Best known for his most recent song “Anadwo” which featured Black Sherif (known for his hard hitting street anthems mouthed by everyone in the Accra City “First Sermon” and “Second Sermon”) both songs produced by Ghanaian Stallion and Mimlife Records’ Kimilist (who’s also had a drill record with Yesu and Yaw TOG titled “Sika”).

Stallion’s production with an amazing sample of a funky trumpet and string flip, Kwame Yesu speaks point blank on wanting to do his thing and be on the  move with his work uninterrupted while YPee wittingly lets naysayers know that their efforts to bring him down are looking shaky and will turn out unsuccessful eventually. Definitely a song deserving of as many spins as possible, put on playlists and worthy of being the type you’d want to have rights to holding the aux cord.

Cassper Explains Why He Doesn’t Enjoy Performing In Clubs

Cassper Explains Why He Doesn’t Enjoy Performing In Clubs. The Covid-19 pandemic has really changed the way things are done, especially when it comes to the events space. Rapper, producer and entrepreneur Cassper Nyovest is known to give crowd-pleasing performances and is best known for his fill-up concerts, which are known for selling out. The popular artist recently took to social media to reflect on how he doesn’t enjoy performing in the clubs.

The club scene in South Ah is currently booming as the country opens up more acts are being booked to perform at the hottest spots. Cassper now that he has returned home is booked and busy it seems he is not enjoying it so much. The popular rapper explained to his fanbase that he would rather perform festivals or his own stadium shows than at the club. Cassper detailed that people at the clubs are looking to hear music and dance as opposed to really watching performances from artists.

The multi-award-winning rapper also expressed that he can’t wait till the country gets to a point where Covid is over and things could pick up again. “I don’t enjoy performing in clubs like I enjoyed playing at festivals and my own stadium shows. People in the club aren’t really there to see performances. They want to hear music and dance. I really can’t wait to we over covid, I feel we have even forgotten how dangerous it is,” shared Cassper. The club scene is certainly not for all artists, last year Kwesta returned to club performances after bowing out in July 2019. The rapper took the decision to stop performing at clubs, as stages were small to set everything up for his performances. “It’s too small to set everything up, so I’ve decided to stop doing those kind of gigs. I want to give everyone a show they deserve, unless the club can provide that type of setup,” Kwesta explained at the time.

“I don’t enjoy performing in clubs like I enjoyed playing at festivals and my own stadium shows. People in the club aren’t really there to see performances. They want to hear music and dance. I really can’t wait to we over covid, I feel we have even forgotten how dangerous it is.

Iconic venues such as the Ticketpro Dome found themselves having to close their doors and sell the popular event’s venue due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The closure of the venue was sad news for many South Africans, especially Cassper who still had plans to return to the venue for yet another fill-up concert. “This hurts. wanted to do 1 more show there when the country opens. I’m not okay,” tweeted the rapper in reaction to the closure.
