Pretend you´re a record label boss...

So, pretend you´re the head of a Hip-Hop record label in South Africa and you´re starting up your (potential) empire.

You need to sign 10 artists/groups - established and developing (you can even pick artists who are already signed), 2 producers (they will act as a resource to provide in-house production for your stable), 2 A&R types (the guys who´ll continuesly go looking for talent and develop the artists you have signed).

Who would you employ?

PEACE

Wow she had toys. I had to use salt & pepper shakers, aromat, chutney and other spices and condiments to put on ´a show´ for empty beer and Schweppes bottles. :-?

Nice try, supafly! I don´t know who I´d sign for A&Rs but for the rest it´d go like this:

Skwatta
Cashless
Tumi & the Volume
Max Normal
Godessa, and get them to finally release Spillage
Mentalyricist (call me biased I don´t care!)
Mr. Grif (when he gets off the pot)
Pygmy from Kenya
Innovators
Moodphase5ive, and get them to finally release XE

As for producers...
Bood Cava OR Grenville
Whoever does Skwatta´s production (name eludes me...)

A&Rs...

??

Peace!

My Artist would be me.

1. These is this crazy nice crew from Vosloorus - forgot they name one of their song is “Koloi” use to tour with them dudes last year and saw them perform at Rashid launch earlier this year in Tokoza, they also performed at the Touchbase Tour also in Thokoza on youth day.

2. Pitch Black Afro - I think we all know him

3. Top Shayela from Umtata – this tight-a** dude raps in Xhosa u need to hear him

3. TOM (Tembisa On Mics) from Tembisa – skilful cats from Mambisa

4. Kwabulawayo Kraal from Tembisa – what can I say we are just great in this shit

5. A crew from Mozambique called Villa Do Escudo Negro - the hottest cats I heard rapping in Portuguese and by the way all you o-called producers can learn a thing or two from dudes

6. Morafe – the rapper featured by HHP in “Danger”

7. Maskrari from Zimbabwe – another tight a** dude, he raps in Shona

8. I would also sign the following acts just to shelve them:
The Ramesh Brothers (Naked DJ, Fortune and Ramesh)
Optical Illusion
Zubs

Producers:
Codesa
Produza Boss Makaka a.k.a. Jack Le Phela

A&R
I would get any "mountain climber who plays an electric guitar"
