From the bedroom to the backyard and beyond - Hip Hop eKhayelitsha

Tuesday, December 8, 2009 - It's not very often that a charismatic, socially conscious hip hop crew from Khayelitsha takes a bunch of city slickers to their bedroom for a free-style. But then, it's not very often that city slickers go looking for inspiration in the townships.

When it comes to the meeting points of music, graphical and cultural boundaries, there is loads of talent in our own backyard, and when it comes down to it, the gates are generally open. But it's the back-paths that need more people if the music industry is to make inroads in infrastructure and integration.
