“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. 5 keeps the momentum moving — a focused crate of raw drum science made first and foremost for dancers who know what the right break does to a floor.
This chapter digs deeper into movement and control. No retro cosplay, no polish for algorithms — just functional, hard-working grooves built for cyphers, rehearsals, battles, and block parties where rhythm speaks louder than words.
Vol. 5 balances pressure and space: stripped-back funk hits, skeletal percussion drills, slow-burn tension loops, and deep-pocket breaks designed to lock bodies into motion. Every pattern is intentional — to activate footwork, sharpen timing, and reconnect with the core reason we move.
For B-boys and B-girls, these are fuel.
For DJs, they drop clean and mix easy.
For producers, they’re solid foundations waiting to be flipped.
