Skyline Sessions Da L.e.s
Randlords (tomorrow)
If you are in Braamfontien, you’ll be happy to know that one of Joburg’s best rappers, Da L.E.S (pictured), comes out to play in the Skyline Session at Randlords (22nd floor, South Point Towers, 41 De Korte Street, Braamfontein).
Thanks to the 360° view at Randloards, there are few places in Joburg with a better vibe. You will be on a rooftop that is 22 storeys high. Da L.E.S is currently on a high because of his latest album, nOrth gOd, which has the hit track P.A.I.D featuring Burna Boy and AKA.
It is basically All Eyes On Me part two and if you haven’t heard it yet, then rather attend and hear it live. It will also be great to hear the other classic Da L.E.S songs – from the Jozi days up to when he went solo. Ever jovial, the rapper can easily light up a stage and give his fans a warm, fuzzy, feeling – where they feel they can approach him to show their appreciation. Just don’t do it while he is performing or you will get what the other guy got at AKA’s recent performance.
Other acts that will be at the show include Pretty Filthy, 2Lani The Warrior, Kyle Cassim, Vimo, Chrizz Beatz, House Knights, Nick Essential, SauBomb, Nathan Mayor, Shady Lurker, Irmaos de Deus, Vin Groovin, Sebastian Dark, Renato Rodriguez and Sobrado.
The event will coincide with Vato Kayde’s birthday celebrations so expect a cake and shoutouts to the birthday boy. – Munya Vomo
l The event will start at 7pm and R100 will get you in. Tickets are available at www.nutickets.co.za.
