WATCH SHELELA ONLINE


People told me One Foot In The Game was huge! I obviously can't judge, I can only nod and stay grounded! But my mind was blown away with what has happened with Shelela. What we achieved with One Foot In The Game in 3 months, we have achieved with Shelela in 3 weeks!

Thanx to a lot of support from Channel O, this is probably one of the most played Hip Hop videos in South Africa right now. With lots of love from all over the internet (twitter, facebook, myspace), even before this video was available on the net, it's only fitting that we take this to the next level! So here we go: SOMETHING BIG IS ON IT'S WAY. Even bigger than the fact that you can now watch Shelela online, during the few minutes when Channel O is not playing it. And it's also shot by CHRIS GREEN of GREEN FILMS, so, you know to expect only fire. Click HERE to watch Shelela ft. Dezza RIGHT NOW!

Happy New Year people! If it starts this way, it's gonna end phenomenally! I love you all.

CHANNEL O EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIER


It's been a hectic year. With lot's of opportunities utilized and a few missed, it's time for us to literally slide into the festive season and Shelela into the new year. So, in the spirit of Christmas and doing it big, me and ma team (MUSE Entertainment/ AMO PR/ JURY MUSIC/ GREEN FILMS) will be hitting all of AFRICA, with a music video exclusive at 17:30 CAT on Channel O (Channel 320, DSTV). It's off of 20 The Album and it features Dezza. Get your 2011 Swagg on . . .

Ingeniously directed by Chris Green of GREEN FILMS, with online editing from Tall Post, I can't help but mention that my second music video is one of the best I've seen in the past few months. Channel O, Africa's biggest music channel, has decided to give this baby special attention. The video will hit African screens at 17:30 CAT on channel 320, DSTV, on the Crispy Fresh music show. It's definitely something to look forward to, as me and Dezza do bestest in threads organized by Vie of Twenty Two. The whole video in itself is in crisp High Definition black and white, and features a guest appearance from SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE finalist Shelley Nicole Christians, but that's all I'm giving out. For the full experience, tune in to Crispy Fresh on Channel O at 17:30 on 20/12/2010.

Oh yeah, the EMERGENCY ENTRANCE MIXTAPE is still available for download. The Album is available in January. Merry Christmas. 20 grand out!

BEHIND THE SCENES - SHELELA MUSIC VIDEO SHOOT




EPIC TIMES ARE AHEAD. It's one thing to have people tell you that you've grown as an artist, and quite another to look back at your years in the industry and see your growth for yourself. 5 months after debuting the "ONE FOOT IN THE GAME" music video, MUSE Entertainment have teamed up with GREEN FILMS once again, to shoot the music video for my latest single: SHELELA ft. Dezza, which is boung to elevate the growth!

I need to tell you first of all that, I am NOT interested in the TYPICAL Hip Hop music video with naked chicks and champagne. Not on this album. So to have a production team like GREEN FILMS, who share the same vision and realize that a music video must be able to tell you a story even when the sound is on mute is quite a blessing. We spent weeks on the concept and the treatment of the video, and it all culminated in a very long but exciting shoot on Sunday the 21st of November. We were up at 05:00 am and getting ready for something EPIC. Lehlabile Mashego, our make-up artist for the day, came all the way from the Vaal to help us out. Thanx a milli to Nini for organizing this. We were quite honored to have Vie of fashion store "TWENTY-TWO BOUTIQUE" dress us for the video! YOH! This lady knows her stuff. And how can I forget Zama and Zonke, the pretty fashionistaz with the sexy accents (not to mention a great eye for photography). These 3 "FASHION POPOs" made sure we didn't break any fashion laws.

It's always a pleasure shooting on the Cannon 5D, especially when the crew knows what they're doing with it. What we have here is a crisp, clean, HD music video which is going to exceed the standard set by ONE FOOT IN THE GAME. A special shout out goes to JURY MUSIC for all their help. Lerato Letsoalo, AMO PR, Coco, YAW BANNERMAN, Shelley Christians, Margarita Naydenova and the rest of the GREEN FILMS crew for everything they put into making Dezza and I look good on TV. We really appreciate that.

For a sexy teaser of what went on behind the scenes, check out more pictures here.

Lot's of love! See you in Polokwane this Saturday!

20!

INVADING POLOKWANE (27th NOVEMBER 2010)


There are big and great things happening over the past and next few months. My first episode as a ChannelO presenter aired on Saturday the 13th at 10:00 am on ChannelO's HeadRush! Watch it every weekend for the hottest interviews of Africa's prime Hip Hop talent. Another great thing is, I'm shooting the music video for the my new single "Shelela ft. Dezza" this weekend. The jam is already playlisted on Yfm, 5fm, BCR fm and VIBE fm. But the BEST thing about this month? That's PLK . . .

ON THE 27th OF NOVEMBER, THORNHILL IN POLOKWANE WILL COME TO A STANDSTILL. Hip Hop heads and great music lovers alike will make their way to Cappello's to witness the first of my "DIGITAL LIVE" performance set. Yes ladies and gentlemen: I have been practicing for MONTHS and I am ready to get digital with you, as I bring my PC and MIDI controller to the stage, adding sounds and playing solos LIVE as you see it. I might even make a BEAT ON STAGE and FREESTYLE OVER IT. It's basically limitless and the creativity is unboxed. So DON'T predict it, BE THERE. The only sure stuff is, THE FIRST 50 ENTRANTS will be the first people in the world to get AUTOGRAPHED COPIES OF MY MIXTAPE which drops this FRIDAY. It's called EMERGENCY ENTRANCE and will only be available on this blog! FREE!!!

So, wherever you are, if you've got the transport, bring your lovable self to CAPPELLO's in THORNHILL in POLOKWANE and EXPERIENCE the "RED CARPET HIP HOP EXTRAVAGANZA with MARAZA".
