2nd Annual Hip Hop Kaslam Spaza Awards - 14 Sept at Baxter Theatre



Hip Hop Kaslam is an NPO and pioneering movement that provides a platform for young rappers to perform in languages indigenous to Africa.
Join us in our second annual Hip Hop Kaslam Spaza Awards, where we will celebrate a unique hip hop genre emerging from the streets of urban townships, Spaza Hip Hop. Rising talent ranging from Spaza emcees to beat makers to poets will be awarded during the celebration, for pushing this edgy strand of Hip Hop forward. Audiences are encouraged to come to the event; it promises to be a kaleidoscope of Cape Flats entertainment!
