Stepping in the shoes of Blaque
Thanks to technology and the creation of websites like Twitter, Reverbnation and Media fire, upcoming rappers are able to market themselves without a huge budget or a record label. Amongst these upcoming rappers/ rap groups is Blaque of whom I got familiar with through a BBM broadcast, broadcasting a link to download one of their tracks. Needless to say I downloaded the track and was impressed with what I heard. Blaque is a rap group from the east of Johannesburg and which consists of members Dellz, Geezy, Parley, Ric Priddy Ugly and Savio; for the first MUTHALAND SCOOP interview I hit them up to find out more about them and what their views on hip hop are.
1. When did you fall in love with hip hop?
We separately fell in love with hip hop when we were young. We each grew up in hip hop orientated environments, where we used to see kats ciphering on corners and at the shops. We always felt the need to join them, but they always referred to us as “too young”, so we never really got to participate until we all met each other.
