American rapper, record producer, and entrepreneur Wasalu Muhammad Jaco, better known by his stage name Lupe Fiasco has reached out to Kimberley born MC, Proverb. Lupe tweeted Pro and asked him what is the best way to infiltrate the South African hip hop scene.
Yo @ProVerbMusic what’s the best way to get a proper introduction to the SA hip hop scene?
Fiasco Tweeted.
Verb responded;
My best suggestion would be to come out to SA and do some shows and perhaps collaborate with some of our biggest artists. We also have an annual Hip Hop showcase “Back to the city” which celebrates the best of SA. Numerous TV & radio shows to jump on as well.
Lupe responded by asking when does the Back To The City festival take place and the conversation ended there, probably moved to the DM.
I also happen to co-produce @IdolsSA which is not necessarily a hip hop show but enjoys massive viewership. Perhaps we can explore some ideas around a guest appearance, mentorship of our finalists or even collaboration with our winner. Let’s discuss.
ProVerb concludes.
