UNATHI MPOTULO EMCEE CPT My name is Unathi Mpotulo , but I go by Uneek . I’m a hardcore hip-hop emcee hailing from Cape Town.

I own half of a budding company called Da Insane Entertainment , which deals with music, clothing, graphics and events. I’m also steadily infiltrating the market with my street¬-wear label Skill Born . I am the other half of a hip-hop duo called Informal. Growing up I listened to Rza , Army of the Pharoahs , NWA and Dogg Pound Gangster . Now I am into Skeem Team, Tech Nine , and Snow Goons . I do hard, aggressive and lyrically on point music.

Something I went on to discover as I interviewed him further. Kayswag is a 22 year old Rapper/Graphic and Fashion Designer. A Multi-talented being who began MCeeing from as early as 2005 even though it wasn't as serious as it is now. Like most Rappers, Khanya Fusi, whom at the time was still focus on studying, met a person known as CypherLyric who introduced him to a diverse range of hip hop activities like battling and the ever so interesting cyphers. In 2009 he moved to Cape Town from Bloemfontein, Recorded a Mixtape with his crew and the rest, as they say, was history. SnR: Did the attending the cypers and battles inspire you to take hip hop more seriously?  KF: I had a low self esteem back then. I underestimated my abilities. As I grew older, I began to understand my abilities better. The Cyphers drove my passion  SnR:...

Hip Hop is a MALE dominated genre where you will find few female rappers in the industry, we even hardly see female rapper at the line-up.  Being a female in Hip Hop Industry is very challenging whether you an emcee, fan or a event organizer because mens don't take females serious. Women's are facing lot of challenge across the world not in MUSIC only, we live in a Country where you will hear on the newspaper,radio or television that a women was beaten or she was rapped. Its even hard on us to engage or raise our views in a debate session because the minute you interact on that debate you have a fear of being around mens, you know 4sho that even if you say a right thing you will find others calling you by names more specially in Hip Hop debate they will say "you are a group that's why you say that". Same ladies who support hip hop in Cape Town quit because of such behavior.   Cape ...
