KO _ Supa Dupa


KO has released visuals for his new single, Supa Dupa. Let's watch and see what it's all about.
First shot is getting us ready for dreamy, psychedelic shots.
 That's KO there showing us that even when he was a kid, lying on the grass, he dreamt of stars and space. 
Big dreams.
He has bleached his hair. 
Black paint on her, as if she not black enough.
I don't understand what this running on a vinyl is all about. Maybe the girls chasing him because of his record or the FX department was just flexing their muscle.
The themes of Supa Dupa are usual rap themes. Nothing ground breaking. 
... When he was down.
... We clowns used to kicks him.
He used to dream about flashy cars.
... Now he is sitting on the bonnet with cupid on the driver's seat.
This is KO on a bed. A bed is where most dreams occur. 
He warns us about city snakes... but he's all cosy with a few.
 ... "mirror mirror on the wall... who's the blah-blah of them all..." KO quoting Cinderella.
KO is feeling good. This is evident all over the video. The Skhanda god is all whismical. 
KO's song is catchy and easy on the ear. I'm not sure if this is Skhanda though. 
KO sings about how he is living a good life. It is obvious, not only in his visuals but in his raps, in his complacency. He has a few lines that lack originality, like ... " it was all a dream" and "when I was down, you used to kick me". He switches his flow up for only two bars in the whole song, before he falls back to the lazy flow he uses all throughout. 

3.2/5

Sjava: Umama (music video)

Sjava has dropped visuals for his new song, titled Umama. It is a sweet song dedicated to moms and all the special things they do for us. Would it have been too cheesy to release it on Mother's Day? Umama is basically about how Sjava - even though he is an old man covered in beard, misses his mom. I think most can relate. Let me watch the music video and see what it is all about; Here is Sjava, sick of fans and fame, he just wants to see his mom. So he leaves. Sjava is the humble fella. He left his sports cars at his mansion. He is hitch hiking. ... not once ... ... but twice.  The guys at the back are laughing at this bearded celebrity, hitch hiking. Cows are a sign that he is close to home. He is about to see his Mama. His mom sees him from a distance. Sjava just stands there and lets his old mommy run to him. Mama thanks her ancestors for keeping Sjava safe and making him rich. Sjava is happy next to Mama again. I always wondered if ...

TOKOLOSHE: where she goes, it follows.

On the promising side... Did you see this? Did you hear about this?... Apparently there's a local movie out called TOKOLOSHE. I heard this morning. Maybe I am ignorant... or it wasn't marketed well. Which is a shame too, because the trailer looks fresh. It's for the horror movie buffs. A creaky door at night is always creepy. People with haunted house never lubricate the door hinges. She's sleeping peacefully, when something crawls into bed... could it be Tokoloshe? Yep. Tokoloshe has landed. ... and he's a hippy with blonde dreads. This is how we describe Joburg... otherwise known as Sin City. The nurse is a Tokoloshe encyclopedia. She scares the main character even before Tokoloshe himself makes an appearance. And of course the halls in haunted houses experience perpetual load shedding. Tokoloshe finally speaks. He is middle aged and Zulu. Here, he is trying to smooth talk a young, innocent kid... which is creepy on man...
