SAFM finally grows some balls 
A while ago, we wrote/directed/produced a hip-hop radio play that aired on RMR 89.7FM in Grahamstown. It's been picked up by SAFM and is being broadcast as part of a double feature at 19h00 this Saturday night (04/11)
Here's the original description of the play:
"BEAUTY AND THE BEAT"
A hip-hop radio play in celebration of women's month
Ever felt like you're the only person who understands something? Melissa feels that way. An aspiring hip-hop producer, she struggles to make her mark in an industry dominated by males and fed by stereotypes and preconceptions. "Beauty and the Beat" is a celebration of women in hip-hop culture.
Starring Katie Pearson, Xoli Matomela, Cliff Hlungwane, Dylan Van De Merwe and Jacqueline Nurse.
Written and directed by Rob Boffard.
With music from Lupe Fiasco, Jean Grae, Canibus, Swollen Members, Nthabi and Fabolous and with original production by Alias.
Produced by the HIPHOCALYPSE in a**ocation with RMR 89.7FM and RADIO SHACK PRODUCTIONS.
PLEASE, PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS! It's a major big up for everybody involved in the production getting this thing onto national radio plus, as far as I'm concerned, the majority of the SAFM listenership doesn't know/care about hip-hop, so the more heads we have listening to this the better.
And on a side note, I'd just like to thank Blakhroze, Nthabi and Nuwepussy for helping me out with researching the piece, and Nthabi for being cool with me using her music.
