Do 4 Self Concert - held in 1994 at the Westridge Civic Centre in Westridge, Mitchell's Plain, Cape Town, South Africa.
To share this is to share a minute part of Hip Hop history from the Mecca of South African Hip Hop, if not the entire Africa continent, Mitchell's Plain. There's not enough words I can use to express the influence we had on the rest of the Cape Flats and the rest of South Africa.
WE had the best of the best, from Writers aka Grafitti artists, BBoys (referred to in the 80's when we started, as Breakdancers or Breakers), Emcees and DJ's. It was the home to the first Chapter in Africa of the Universal Zulu Nation, which was started in Westridge by King Jamo. There's tons I can go into, but that will take away the focus from the concert itself with the mini interviews in-between. The thing to note about this is that the performances are by a wide range of artists who ranged from I'd say 8 years old to maybe mid 30's. Why I mention this is because this sort of platform no longer exists and if it does, then I am out of the loop.........enjoy.
