Hip hop activists tell it like it is

Hip hop acts Prince and Mysteries in the Flesh (MIF) had a small crowd on their feet on Saturday during a show and discussion forum sponsored by Khulumani Support Group.

The discussion asked what collective action could do to uplift local artists and free them from the demoralising "industrialisation" of their art.

Hip hop acts Prince and Mysteries in the Flesh (MIF) had a small crowd on their feet on Saturday during a show and discussion forum sponsored by Khulumani Support Group.

The discussion asked what collective action could do to uplift local artists and free them from the demoralising "industrialisation" of their art.

The participants shared their experiences in media including film, music, poetry, and graphic design. At the conclusion, Prince (Zuko Madikane, a Port Elizabeth-based MC) graced the stage with his thoughtful and lyrical flow, and was followed by fast-spitting MIF, consisting of Reagan Bruintjies and Leon Davis of Vergenoeg.

In an interview, Prince told Grocott's Mail that his love for hip hop had kept him going since his start in 1996.
"People like something that's new," he said, but love keeps you dedicated for the long haul.

Prince's current crew is known as Kululekani ("be free") and that message is what he hopes to send through his music.

Societies had certain norms, he said, and people tended to just go along without questioning.
You must realise, he said, "the world begins with you as a person".
