In case you haven't heard of WBMG, lets take this time to introduce them to you. Rappers Hentaz, Cido, MadDogg & Yung Aiaya are the next big thing in Diazville. Together this collective of teen swagstars form the WBMG. While they might be quiet to the online scene, they've been around town to town doing shows in anticipation of their mixtape releasing later this year.
A few weeks ago, this announcement was made prompt by of the group's leading men Yung Aiaya, who revealed the title as 'Friday The 13th'. While the group only has two songs online, their debut with 'You To Fine To Be Alone' accumulated 11 straight downloads and 14 plays after a year of release. Okay, that's nothing to brag about but anyway...
Whist every name progressing in Saldanha Hip-Hop seems to be a teenager, the current heavyweights Ill Scripts have confirmed the rumors of their proposed mixtape as well. Rapper, INSANE mentions that the supposed 'Cloud 9' mixtape (which we assume will obviously have another name) is scheduled to release by the end of the final school term, this being the month of November & December.
The mixtape is said to be a compilation of all Ill Scripts latest releases and could feature some interesting things from the Fantasy Productions team. Included will be new unheard releases, but we can already point out the fact that majority of these will be remade cover versions such as their latest release 'All Me' by OVO Sound & Young Money rapper, Drake.
Currently the Scripts have six releases out and about, five of which are on KasiMp3. In total the group achieved 809 downloads on KasiMp3 alone, minus the 135 for rapper Junio A!'s 'Light Up Freestyle' alone (therefore a total of 674), with their June comeback release 'Cast My Eyes' peaking at 236 downloads. The group currently holds the Most Downloads In A Day record for the West Coast with 101 downloads in 17 hours and is the most downloaded group within the South African West Coast Hip-Hop music scene, after their local brothers, BALLERGANG, a group of which INSANE also belongs to.
The 11 month old, Hard Time For Lovers (Afro-Deep
Blend) from DJ Real U's Vandalism
mixtape, has finally reached its peak of 100 downloads.
Featured on the online
sound-sharing website, Soundcloud, the House music bootleg from former Touch
Radio & Radio Shawty DJ, DJ Real U, slowly but surely met the Soundcloud
download limit of 100 downloads per song, as it escalated throughout the year.
Released November 2011, on
Real U's Vandalism,
the song quickly grew House fanatics attention as it embrends the sound of
Rocco & Robert C. Walker, well-known names in the Deep House industry.
Along with 491 plays, the
song has officially become the most downloaded song by a Touch Radio artist,
overstepping DJ D33psoul's It's
All About which instantly increased in download numbers since its
release in late August.
The mixtape howsoever, was
only fully released roundabout five months ago on realudj.tk due to Real U's
transition to the Hip-Hop genre.
His latest release 50/50: The Vision
attracted new audiences as Real U now focuses on consciousness in the music
industry. So far Thank You (Unforgettable Freestyle) is Real U's most played Hip-Hop track with 259 plays on Soundcloud, followed by New Me (Miss Me Freestlyle) trailing in second with 150 plays in 2 months. These numbers could greatly increase if they were by any means promoted.
Other excellent figures for
Real U is the famous Kwaito sensation Jezebel,
which earned him 21,153 views on YouTube for his 'DJ Real U Dub Mix', featured
on his earlier, 2010 double disc release entitled, Greenroom Mixtape. A
total of 29,426 YouTube views lie behind this once emerging, consistent, passionate
& skilful DJ. Real U's music is yet to peak elsewhere.
