Greetings AG fam. 1kind is planning to release a digital mixtape in July. This is mainly a promotional activity, so the music will not be for sale. The mp3s will be made available on AG and upon request on any other file hosting site.
The mixtape is called
1kind 4 ur mind. It is mainly a collection of material that I've been constructing since 2006. I've held onto it for a long time so this will be my way of putting it out there, and starting on a clean slate. This will be a prelude to a few projects that 1kind is involved in, most of which will be in circulation before the year is over.
There is a Drum N Ba** project..with a new talented Cape Town based producer. [still to be completed].
There is an alternative rock project that has been in the pipelines since 2008.
L.I.F.E...or Lessons In Finding Enlightenment is the name of the group.
I'm expecting to do many collaborations this year. One of which will introduce 3 young talented emcees from Cape Town, namely: Macingo, Worst and Coomz. The project we are working on is already 4 tracks deep [it will be called...
I sweet le jam but more on that later
]
Of course there are those who already know the more poetic side of my performances. I haven't done much in that regard since
Poetry Delight in 2008. I have too many pieces lying unused in my old notebooks so I will be visiting a poetry spot near you very soon.
There might be a nice surprise for the people with me and Zaki....
And of course, I will continue to try and expand the Headwarmaz Show. I have been putting in a lot of work on the show, and I'm proud to be part of the exponential growth of Cape Town hip-hop. [Go to

About 1kind 4 ur mindStylistically, 1kind loves to be easy on the listeners ear. So expect the majority of the beats to be laid back, boom-bap a la 9th Wonder, to accompany the versatile flow. I prefer content that will keep the listener engaged long after the first listen. I try and stay away from in-your-face punchlines...so do not expect too many "aaaaaaawwwwwhhhhh" moments. That is all I will say...the music shall speak for itself.
The track listing will be as follows.
1. I'm so ready
2. Underground bound
3. Hot like chakalaka
4. Cingisisa K'qala
5 . Umuzi onotywala
6. Stay with me
7. We need more
8. Tears rising
9. Remember that day
10. A fish out of water
11. Inkululeko ayikho free
12. Without you
13. Akho mali
14. Fly-by-knight
15. It is [whoah baby]
16. Let there be 1kind
I will post the lyrics and the tracks soon. Thank you for your time and support.
