“Cape Crusader” is taken from Prophets of Da City’s 1997 release Ghetto Code — a long-time fan favourite. On the original, lead rapper Shaheen Ariefdien delivers his iconic introspective style, marked by sharp, distinctive wordplay. This remix introduces a never-before-heard second verse, originally performed during the group’s appearance at the 2015 Cape Town International Jazz Festival.
Prophetic Remixes Vol. 1 is available exclusively on Bandcamp, with the second instalment scheduled for release later this year.
This project serves as a tribute to Prophets of Da City, the South African hip-hop pioneers who rose to prominence in the 1990s. POC were more than a group — they were activists, truth-tellers, and cultural disruptors. At a time when South Africa was suffocating under apartheid oppression, they used music as a weapon against injustice. From censorship battles to exile from their own country, their impact on South African hip hop — and the broader struggle — remains undeniable.

A-Side Breaks Vol. 3 marks another chapter in a series I’ll be dropping on a regular basis — a steady stream of break-heavy selections designed for dancers who live in that space where rhythm meets instinct.
This volume leans into the raw, percussive energy that powers the breakin’ world: those stripped-down drum sections and groove pockets that DJs stretch out to keep the floor alive. These are the moments breakers train to, build on, and lose themselves in — the fuel behind the footwork, the shapes, the creativity, the flow.
For Vol. 3, I went crate-deep again, pulling out joints that shaped different generations of movement culture. It’s a nod to the roots, a salute to the dancers, and a reminder that the spirit of the break is still beating strong.
And since this series is dropping continuously, expect more heat soon — more rhythms, more textures, more reasons to hit the floor.
Back to the raw. Back to the groove. Back to the break.
