War3 Karakt3z Release New Series & Music Videos

Vredenburg's legendary War3 Karakt3z recently hit the web with two brand new music videos in support of their latest series 'Liefde of Jokes'.

The group founded by Goku who also forms part of the Major Playaz Dancerz along with various members, has accumulated 360 downloads on Soundcloud in record so far, with 'We Made It' (Ft. Big Twist, Ivaan & Lazy B) peaking at 43 downloads.

With various music videos by it's producer Goku and other members of the group, rappers Ivaan, Lazy B, Maikes, Ponkie, Vicky and Gax have collaborated on various songs, namely with one of their latest 'Let Me Love You Alright'. 

Following their album 'Bruin Boks', comes the newly released 'Liefde of Jokes' along with Goku's very own 'Bloed Maan' which features appearances by artists Young Bliss, Wizel & Lionel Koordom.

 

Collectively these two projects have blossomed with stand out tracks such as 'Teenage Pregnancy' and 'Ek Sal Altyd Down Vijo Wees' receiving the most downloads on Soundcloud so far, after last month's 'Die Is Dai Love Song' which takes the cake within this series peaking at 22 downloads so far.

The song was therefore followed up with a music video, in addition to Goku's own 'Goku Ain't No Wana Be' which debuted as a music video before the actual song release online, in order to build anticipation of the concluding stages of the 'Bloed Maan' series. The music video is shot in their home region of Louwville as Goku appears walking along the railway line, a picture perfect scenery for an emotional music video. The video has accumulated 36 views on YouTube so far, the highest of the latest releases with 'Let Me Love You Alright' and 'Die Is Dai Love Song' trailing at 24 views each.

The groups most viewed video remains to be their hit song 'Wie Sal' on 209 views after it's release 9 months ago.

Real U keeps it Real COOL! One Truth and One Mixtape.

Former DJ, Real U (also known as Real Mixwell) dropped his revolutionary mixtape 50/50: The Vision last week, on the very first day of Spring on the African continent. With this 1st September release, there were no delays in getting it! Regardless of how the tape was pushed back 2 weeks since it's proposed release date, the mixtape received instant download numbers and positive comments from various listeners.

Its promotion however was kept to a low, as Real U intends to provide his listeners with quality lyrics and sound. The production of The Vision can be criticised, but for many it has been overlooked as the editing and lyrically content filled the tape with a potential flow.

Feats from Lil' Beats and LiLReD helped narrow the solo feel of the release, with Kristie Alexandra vocally supporting the mixtape in its introductory stage on Crash Down.

Bonus songs Last Goodbye & Got Me Down paved a smooth ending to the 25-track Christian-based Conscious Hip-Hop fiasco. Local beat maker, Lee-Rick and musician Noel Kearns, helped as well as Real U thankfully credits them for their work. The mixtape is certainly a must hear for many. The question is not really 'who is Real U?' but rather 'what can he do?'

Title based on 1 Corinthians 13:12, '50/50' reflects both an uncertain image of life and the hope of a fulfilled vision in Christ.

Inspired to serve, this 18 year old lyricst, speaks either truth or a really brutal message to the youth. Days after the tape's release, Real U decided to tweet his expressive flow, under the hashtag #5050TheVision. No stranger to tweeting rhymes, the youngin' promotes Christian Hip Hop from the likes of Lecrae, Trip Lee & Bizzle, regularly through socially networking.

What lies in store for his artistic future? Only God knows.
