nobody@vox.com(spo0ky) — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 16:48:42 +0200

Ben Sharpa in Cosmo magazine? Yeah, you read it right - the one and only Ben Sharpa aka Oh Kaptin My Kaptin is elevating South African Hip Hop to new heights (and his solo album ain't even out yet!).

Support local Hip Hop and go and buy yourself a copy of the December 2007 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine. Our very own Ben Sharpa is featured in a piece called SA Stars Going Global. It's on page 49 of the Cosmo Rocks section. There's a nice photo of Rhianna on the cover, you can't miss it
