Media / Re: Lee Kasumba's New Slot on YFM

« on: April 03, 2008, 10:15:24 AM »

That sounds good...

Proverb also has a new slot on Metro FM Saturday and Sunday nights between 12-3, i believe its also dedicated for hip-hop. I think thats a huge sacrifice he made there, considering that he's an artist himself and during that time he should be doin shows, or he could be even doin his social stuff.

Big Ups to Pro and Lee!

Firstly you sound like u don't no the history behind the Battle of Gugs idea, and secondly u think no us but u don't. J Flexx and I are from Gugs... how dare u say that we claim that. Can you explain that?... according to your knowledge about our lives and history.

But wait... I was preparing a press release anyway, so I can share sum insight with everyone on the Battle of Gugs concept.

So if you aint down with us homie...aight peace!

Thanks for the positive feedback fellas...

Dont even worry about the sound homie... Red Bull is a**isting us with their truck, I know in the previous Hype gig it was kinda dodgy. BUT DUDE! Me & El nino yesterday went to do sound-check with that truck in Table Mountain dawg... yeah believe it or not! And it came off perfectly i'm tellin you... it was such a great experience.

Aight, i'm not good at this but i'll try...

When you enter in Gugulethu, which is usually when you comin from N2 & Athlone's road and driving over the bridge, you end up at the 4-way robots stop (cnr of NY 1 & NY 108)...

Keep in mind that as you enter you're located by the NY108 lane. Then you continue into NY 108 lane...cross the robots and you drive straight-up (takes approx. 2 min if you're driving), then you turn into your first left-hand corner... thats where it is! 

Hope that helps D and others.

General Discussion / Re: CRIME!!!!!!!!!

f***en criminals...!!!

Sum kids broke into our studio this past Friday morning in Gugs @ Planet Earth spot, while were partyin at Bahamadia's gig.

My mans was supposed to be there as well but failed to go coz of transport... then as he fell asleep, 3 kids busted thru and held him gun-point for about 10 minutes... stripped shit apart, PC, turntables, alles, etc.

But stupid mofokaz ended-up takin our 2 mixers, CDs including our project's seperates, his kicks, a cell phone and turntables were found outside the gate along with sum clothes.

It was more like a sabotage mission... f***en haters!

But yo we tryina look at a bright side though... and we gonna continue with our Battle of Gugs Vol. 2 launch this Sunday @ Mzoli's. Will post more info tomorrow.

If anyone has got an idea, or even come across Ill Skillz & Driemanskaps leaked tracks, please let us no.

The more I bump the 'J88 Best Kept Secrets', the more I fall in love with J Dilla.

I reckon its one of the best hip-hop releases ever.
