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

From the Pioneer Unit site:

        "A couple of weeks ago Anne-Sophie from Apartment Applied Visual Arts took to the streets of Cape Town to shoot Archetypes for the Pioneer Unit Street Life campaign. The campaign will promote the new range of Pioneer Unit t-shirts and will be used online and in the form of postcards.

        We’re really happy with the results. Check it out…"

Hello everybody,,

I've been working flat out on the How We Roll music video, which is about a couple of days away from completion.
Beta tapes will be delivered early next week to various new hip hop telly shows!

Hence the lack of post, I'm being focused here :)

Don't forget we're having the Planetary Assault launch party on the 29 of August at Roosevelt in Cape Town (Loop Street). There was some hiccup with the first venue and Dplanet worked very hard to find an available better and nicer place. Roosevelt is so lush and glamorous, I can't wait!

The show is also going to be quite different from the usual (sleepy) hip hop shows, and the line up counts most of the super talented Cape Town MCs! Not to be missed! You'll also be able to purchase the album and teeshirts.

Flyer below, see you there, let's celebrate!
