GIG OF THE WEEK
KO launches Blockbuster National Tour
Zone 6, Soweto
Sunday
Local rapper KO is now ushering in his long-awaited album and you don’t want to miss this.
This is the same man who released the hit Caracara, which is dubbed by some as the biggest song on the African continent this year and with him releasing the full album, he plans to show that he’s got the right stuff.
Caracara has over a million YouTube views and KO leads the Channel O Africa Music Video Awards nominations list with five nods, helping make Cashtime Life the hottest record label at the moment.
We had waited for so long and now KO is finally ready to release this highly anticipated debut solo album, Skhanda Republic on Monday.
This means that if you head over to the Zone 6 venue (Warehouse 28, Black Chain Centre, Diepkloof) this Sunday, you stand a good chance of hearing the other new material off the album first, before it is officially released, since this will be the first time KO perfoms the entire Skhanda Republic playlist.
The show will feature performances by Ma-E, KiD X, Maggz, who also have great songs, too. Look out for DJs Vigilante, Ms Cosmo and Speedsta.
It’s a good year for hip hop and this promises to be one of the best days out on the South African rap music calendar. R80 gets you in and R200 for VIP. Call 011 575 6645.
