The late 80's and 90's, was what one might consider the Golden Age of Hip Hop in Cape Town and specifically in an area on the Cape Flats, Mitchell's Plain.
The various Art forms within the Culture of Hip Hop was taken to another dimension in this area and it became the Hip Hop Mecca in Africa and spawned many great Artistes in the various Arts via our membership and mentorship within the Universal Zulu Nation Chapters spread throughout the Cape Flats by King Jamo (who hails from Mitchell's Plain).
In the early 90's an umbrella group formed out of members of the Universal Zulu Nation Westridge Chapter and Eastridge Chapter respectively, known as GraveDiggaProductionz.
Shy - formally Chapter leader of the UZN Westridge Chapter and an Emcee with groups $ell-Out-Syndicate and OnTheRun.
Sparrow X - Spiritual leader, Strategist and Analyst.
Ice - BBoyKingz member and one of the most prolific Writers/Graffiti Artistes in Africa.
Mr Trevep One, The Brown Prismatic One - A Writer albiet Toy, with ZBC and the TVA Crews, before joining $ell-Out-Syndicate.
The members of GDP expanded and included "Non-Headz" who loved and grew-up in and around Hip Hop. Of the most exciting additions to the GDP family were Emcees Ansley aka MicArtistFlash: The Reason Rap Rules (MAFR3) aka Gatsby and JonWun who formed the group Primitive Instinct.
Then there was Don Owl a beat creator extraordinaire and Rap/Ragga artist, who along with Jon and Mr Trevrep formed a live band called Masturbating Sound Waves for a One-Night Only gig.
Last BUT not least is StrongArm Doug, the man behind the board, producer and engineer of the soundscapes that lived in our minds. Doug has been part of the South African music scene since the 1990's and performed with the Supergroups of all Supergroups in Cape Town, known as MoodPhase5ive.
