Cassper Nyovest Getting this corporate cash..

Cassper Nyovest stays slaying, his song Doc Shebeleza has been bought by DSTV for their  new ad campaign #FeelTheMoment.  It seems the corporates were not deterred at all by the "incident" on Friday.

This is not the first time Cassper has clinched a sweet deal, the first was when Sprite licensed "Gusheshe" for an advert. "Phumagim" has so much pressure now,what deal will it attract for Cassper?! We'll have to wait and see. Peep the #FeelEveryMoment  ad below :

Beef or Chicken, it's repulsive

Shot were nearly fired at the Urban Brew Studios when Cassper Nyovest came eye to eye with AKA's "entourage ". It is alleged by Cassper Nyovest that one of AKA's boy(s) pushed him and pulled a gun on him.

Cassper and AKA were both scheduled to perform on LiveAmp and that failed to see the lights,camera and action because of the "incident". Cassper was the one who broke the story on Twitter  and AKA was nonchalant about the whole thing,went about like nothing happened for just a moment . He later twitted subliminal with the hashtag "Composure " his fans ran with it and it trended.

Today AKA twitted that he'll be releasing a statement later this afternoon, but noon came and he went back on his tweet and basically said he didn't do anything wrong and therefore he need not explain himself.

This beef made for great entertainment but now that cats are pulling guns on each other, it's not cool.  We don't want another Biggy and Pac situation.

We can't put the blame on the LiveAmp team for putting both artist in the line up on the same day, I mean these are grown men and they should be able to put what ever issues they have with each other aside and simply be professional.

Ms Cosmo: #TheStirUp The round up

Local Top 5

#5. Crossword*    Let Go

#4. Dimples ft Dreamteam & Anatti* Yaya

#3. Truey* Body Bags

#2. Junior Derocka ft Zakwe,Maraza &
       Nasty C * Keep Going                      

#1. Chad Day Don ft Cassper Nyovest*
        Raybans       

New Heat:  Yet again 2 tracks  to choose from- Ugogo  by 1/3 of Teargas Ma E. The song is Ma E 's first single as solo artist and I must say this skhanda rap is working for Cashtime Life. I can't go without mentioning though that  Ma E literally used the same hook as the one on Mzekezeke's Agekh' Ugogo, people get sued for such. But then again this is SA & it's highly unlikely especially because no one knows where/ who  Mzekezeke is.[loosely]

The second track was Two Cups Shakur by Reason,the crazy or interesting thing is both songs have sampled other artist's songs or have a piece of another artist's song. Nonetheless the track is dope.

RAPFACTOR 4:

LwaziGB took it again,he was up against Tux from Vaal . Can Someone dope please go download the beat on MS Cosmo's Soundcloud and murk this dude. LOL!

This week we had to decide on 2 new "heats" those of which were Yaya by DJ Dimples and Millionaire by Slikour and I personally couldn't find any reason for "Yaya" not to be kept on the playlist, but  the same could not be thought of Slikour's come back track.

The first time I heard "Millionaire" is when he performed it on LiveAmp and I was not impressed, actually I thought Slik was straight up insulting "our" hip hop intelligence. However I thought perhaps it was premature to judge as sometimes it takes me atleast 2 listens to be absolutely sure if a track is wack or not,  but unfortunately for Slik [or me] second time around it was equally if not more ear 'eroding' than the first.

I really want to know what was going through Slikour's  mind when he cooked up this disaster in the studio?! I mean it doesn't even sound like him,that song has an identify crisis to say the least. I can go on and on about how wack that track is, but it won't  make it sound  any better so I'll retire my opinion here...
          
Rapfactor 4 : Yet again Lwazi took the third round, he was up against Snatch from the Vaal who was a fair challenge. It would be dope though to see a femcee take up the battle,ladies where you at?!

Headlines

Releasing singles has been popular in the South African  hip hop industry since albums stopped selling significant numbers and producers became recognized /  popular and opened up the gates for DJs to buy beats and get various  artists to complete the job. We are yet to see a DJ releasing a full project that becomes an all round success,while we wait...

DJ Dimples dropped Yaya, yes "Yaya" is the name of the track  ft Dreamteam and Anatti and boy oh boy I would like to know the inspiration behind  that title.
