Cape Town Students Killer At Hip-Hop Theme Song

The city of Cape Town, one of South Africa's biggest music scenes, with a growing number of popular Hip-Hop acts, a continual flow of EDM and a vibrant night-life, has seen some of the nation's top acts start from the bottom and work their way, stage by stage to the top.



As remarkable as this is, a recent fresh sound was discovered on the 10th of May 2014 at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology Open Day, an exhibition event introducing prospective students to the various courses on offer for their academic future.




Held at Bellville campus, one of these courses on display had a distinctive vibe around it, a sort of ambiance which seemed to excite those who passed by it. Known as Public Relations Management, a catchy brand name "InstaPR" was displayed instead in respect to their sleek theme and this accompanied a Hip-Hop song by three of the Cape's youngest artists. 


instaprsong -ART2The track entitled as '#InstaPR2014 (Insta PR Song)' was downloaded more than 150 times on the very same day of premier. Louie B from Question Mark Movement, a rap group which made it's first big debut on the South Africa reality TV-show 'SA's Got Talent', collaborated with Tha Real U, a South-African-West-Coast based underground rapper from Shaloma Muzik. Additional vocals were provided by the Nambian-raised songstress Taffy Mwaza.

Their efforts in creating a song which could attract more-and-more future university students to study the course, proved to be useful. Their understanding of the course, the Public Relations field and university life, has made this record not only a popular hit with the students but is even said to be enjoyed by the dean of the course. 


So far the track has received mixed feedback, mainly positive, and is available on The SA Mark Hip-Hop music site, SwagCity and WapTrick.

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.

Real U Now 100%! Vandalism Gets Full Distrubution

The once ambitious House DJ, DJ Real U, has set various flames in the underground industry with leaks from his much anticipated mixtape Vandalism. A mixtape which took about half the year to complete, has now officially met its peak, when Real U Productions & the West Coast Finest team decided to distribute it one last time in 2012.

Today, 24 June marks a memorious day as Real U becomes the first Touch Radio artist (amongst the like of Ndwaz10 & DJ D33psoul) to submit a full mixtape online. His mixtape is now available at the official DJ Real U website (realudj.tk) as well as on 4shared.

Following various local feedback, the mixtape has gotten nothing but positive vibes since Real U's previous Greenroom Mixtape was distributed. Following 4 previous mixtapes, Vandalism has become the first to receive full support as rumours suggest Real U will no longer be involved in the House Music industry.

Review: DJ Real U - 'Vandalism' Mixtape


Vandalism - The Mixtape by DJ REAL U
********Review*******
________________________________________
Outstanding for a beginner.

My advice is "to play more of the words and slow a bit down on the mixing part, people like singing along with the music...but that's my opinion."


STANDOUT TRACKS:

Track 16 - 'Just Wait' is awesome - it's got a cool beat.

Track 9 - 'If We Ever Meet Again' should have played bit more of the original song.

Track 15 - 'Candy Shop (Afro-Jack Blend)' the mixing is very kwaai

Track 4 - 'All Of The Lights' I also like

Must compliment the artist on the CD cover, It's rather professional.

CONSTRUCTIVE ADVICE:
(to the artist)

If you wana pursue this DJ'ing as a carrer - I'd advise you to mix a greater variety off genres, such as something slower.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

I enjoyed listening to this CD.
