How To Fix A Broken Industry
Rouge’s New Era Sessions is one of the best out this year, but the South African Hip Hop Awards seem to think that she’s only worthy for the Best Female category, when in fact she out-wits and out-raps the bar-less fuckwits getting played on the radio today.

We used a water spraycan to achieve the shiny/sweaty effect, and had a lot of fun pointing and clicking in the blazing sun, even when clouds…

Flabba For Sunday Times…
I did this. Big up Bongani Kona for the linkage. I cannot provide the link because of the Sunday Times’ paywall.
