Fellow South Africans, we as a nation are hanging precariously over a precipice that will surely lead to a collective greatness. I stand before you not as Pirates supporter, an ANC cadre nor an intellectual mind. I stand before you simply as a citizen of this great republic that knows the task at hand. we are faced with an immeasurable challenge that could see lesser nations crumble at the thought of the probability of losing.
We are a nation born of adversity and strife and, even when all the odds point towards total destruction, we have emerged victorious out of the most trying times.
What lies ahead of us is no different to what faced us in 1996 when Bafana Bafana hosted the african continent at the Africa Cup of nations and emerged victorious.
It is no different to the Springboks facing the world in 1995 after decades of isolation and proving that we are the best of the best.
I say that what we face now is the same as what we faced then because our greatest foes in this world cup aren't Mexico, Spain, Cameroon or even Brazil. Indeed our greatest foe is an enemy that, if left unchecked, can destroy the spirit of the whole nation and bring us to our knees. An enemy so powerful that it requires all men women and children to stop it. The enemy that i speak of is self doubt.
Bafana Bafana represents the dreams and aspirations of our entire nation. From our education, to research, to the arts and entertainment to sports and politics. We strive to be the best in the world in all these and other disciplines failing which we want to be counted amongst the best. Dr Chris Barnard, Lucas Radebe, Charlize Theron, The springboks, Mark Shuttleworth, Sol Plaatjie,The Springboks, all these people have 2 things in common. 1stly they are South Africans

The trouble with having been a trend setter in music nearly a decade ago is that expectations are high and the public has a habit of wanting you to deliver the same product that you did back when you the it band. So when TKZee went into studio to record their long awaited come back album they had to satisfy their fans by keeping to their original ground breaking sound and, at the same time, make sure they sound current and don’t get lost amongst the Durban kwaito inspired hits for the festive.
In my humble opinion, I think they did an exceptional job in creating songs that capture the now as well as have a nostalgic feel to them.
As a whole, I wouldn’t describe the album as great but it does contain some wonderful songs, a major weak point that most of the songs have is a weak intro but once they get into them its some melodic and catchy phrases, the way kwaito should be. Tracks that have the old school TKZee “GUZ” feel include “Viva La Pantsula” which features members of the old TKZee family, Gwyza, Sbu and Loyiso, “Show off”, “Thatha Eezy” and the opening song “Everyday”. For their more up tempo tracks instead of just going for the popular Durban sound they impressed me and made what I can only describe as Guz-house and their 1st single, which hasn’t been well received, is just an introduction to that. Zwai’s influence can be heard in the last two tracks (Coming home feat. Joyous celebration & Ntokozo Mbambo and Children hold on) that have a serious gospel influence in them.
Tracks that I think you should look out for are; the Jamiroquai inspired full blown kwaito joint “Bumpha nathi”, “Viva La Pantsula”, the Dlala mapantsula inspired “Show off” and the two guaranteed dance floor fillers “O S’kang tella” and my personal favorite “Dikakapa”. I actually think the lead single “: Sdudla” will grow on many people as the festive fever picks up.
My rating for this album 7.5/10 so yes you should go buy it

Folks i would love to say thanks a million for all those that have joined up in the last couple of months and stayed on even though the promise of new hot Mzansi Hip-Hop hasn't yielded any results.
Bextizie is the name and the world of music is inextricably ingrained in my DNA. I am on the verge of signing 3 super dope artists that are guaranteed to set the world music scene on fire so watch this place closely.
Those that know me have said that once in a while i have a habit of dropping pearls of wisdom at a whim. i will be starting a weekly blog with me sharing my thoughts on whatever, if you like it tell a friend and get them in on life through the eyes of a sexy black man with a brain.

When i first got to hear these guys i was totaly blown away, you need to get to know these guys for your own good right now.
Skool of Hip-Hop is a Johannesburg-based collective of eight solo rappers. Hailing from the Free State, it is not surprising that the primary support for the collective can be found in the Orange province… the playground that cultivated the movement. The area was also the scene of various unheralded recordings dating as far back as 1994 – representing a solid foundation for their current incarnation.
With the recent translation of the music to live performances, the collective has seen a general increase of interest and a steady growth in the fan base. Forever loyal to the Scholastic Philosophy that the group seeks to advocate, these are indeed exciting times in the Skolars’ relative infancy.
With a line-up of lesser known street-accredited producers DefMcGennis and The Archbishop (collectively known as The All Spark) and more familiar names such as Nyambz making valuable contributions to their debut album "Bantu Education", Skool of Hip Hop is hard at work to guarantee that the report card comes back bearing an emphatic A+.
Skool of Hip-Hop… Fools will get dropped…
