Peace!
BLOCK KIDS ON THE NEW are two friends, based in Pretoria, South Africa - Skivvy G a.k.a Joe Nameless and Mr. Riz a.ka Rizmagik- who in the face of overwhelming odds, scepticism and disapproval from friends and family decided to chase a dream. A dream that still evokes fear, confusion and derision in traditional African society, they decided to chase hip-hop. They honed their skills by battling everywhere they could set up without being hara**ed by authority figures. Their determination in the face of all the resistance finally earned them a reputation as talented lyricists with a penchant for hard-nosed social commentary interspersed with oddball metaphors and quips that make you hit the rewind button over and over again.
The Block Kids on The New name started out as a a joke between childhood friends but soon stuck as a moniker the two would go on to use for their Self-titled Debut EP .While it is hard to pigeonhole the talented duo, one could easily describe their approach as brash, modern and lyrical. The debut EP plays to each one’s strength, mixing true school lyricism with wit and pop sensibilities. This all makes for a compelling offering that drags the listener on an exhilarating ride through the psyche of these two twisted individuals.
