T.O.P. & BLAQ PEARL LIVE TONIGHT IN CAPE TOWN



By Nick Kaoma

Cape Town has been set alight with a litany of captivating and awe-inspiring gigs and parties this winter that it has made the normally fear-inducing cold front seem like a meek breeze from the Atlantic.

Just last night, two awesome events took place in the Cape Town CBD, namely the 3rd Anniversary celebration of the Verses Poetry Sessions at Zulu Bar where promising talents such as Za and Ntsikisa had the crowd eating out of the palm of their hands, and the long-awaited launch of the Planetary Assault hip hop compilation album at Roosevelt where heavy rhyme-spitters such as Archetypes, Driemanskaap and Middle Finga gave the uber-stylish Bree Street club some 'underground' treatment.

With last night's festivities already embedded in the ever-growing annals of CT parties, it's time to look forward to what the good folks of Levis have in store for us tonight.

The Levis Young Guns, a wonderful initiative that has been put together by the brand that has music close to its heart, has propelled up and coming Mzansi bands to the national stage. The objective of the shows is to give burgeoning artists the platform to showcase their talents, and inevitably, build a bigger fan base in the process.

So tonight, all eyes will be on the refreshing antics of Blaq Pearl and Cape Town rhyme-slayer, T.O.P. to see whether they have got what it takes to elevate their game to the next level.

Both acts have established themselves as solid, passionate performers, so it will be exciting to see what they have in store for us.

The show is taking place at the eccentric Kimberley hotel on the corner of Buitenkant and Roeland streets and the doors will be open at 8:00 pm.

So, see y'all there!
