Yeezy unveils Yeezy 2s at VMAs

Oh yaaaaaaah boi!! We finally saw them. Theyr'e bout to tuck their whole summer in. Yeezy was stepping real reckless on that VMAs stage. If you aint accustomed to goin through Sneak-Peak customs you won't have a clue what I'm on about.

That boy from Chi-Town has made yet another controversial move at the VMAs, this time not with his lethal mouth but by stepping correct in the much anticipated Nike Air Yeezy 2. Kanye West chose the VMAs to unveil his latest gem. He wore a western style ombre chambray; denim shirt; Balmain jeans and killed them with the zen grey colorway of the Nike Air Yeezy 2 sneaker.

 Yeezy officially debuted the Yeezy 2 on stage at the MTV Video Music Awards, performing *Otis* with Jay-Z., Visit Sneak-Peak on the regular, for the SA release date and information.

Jay n Yeezy walk into their thrown in retro Jordans

The much anticipated Otis video from Jay Z and Kanye West album titled *Watch The Throne* dropped a couple of days ago. I know for certain that alot of Sneak-Peakers were expecting a formerly suited up Jay and Yeezy to compliment their bold Otis lines, but to our pleasant surprise, Yeezy and Jay woke up, rocked their Jordans and went to have fun on set.

The Otis video features a American flag-dropped and in the lot, a modified Maybach that Jay and Yeezy apparently had loads of fun in along with a backseat full of fly ladies.Jay and Yeezy both rocking Air Jordan Retros which was not really a surprise. Jay rocking a fresh pair of Air Jordan 1 Banned while Yeezy rocked his Air Jordan 6 retro black infrared. A team effort that revived my Air Jordan retro sneaker passion. Watch the video.

Sneak-Peaking with AKA and Kwesta

AKA is that boy who is ever freshe on and off the mic. AKA kicked off his commercial music career as one third of a ill rap crew called “Enitity” which he formed with his school mates in 2002 which later split. In 2007 AKA partnered with Buks and Kamza to form a production collective known as “The I.V. League”, hence his constant chant of “I.V. Leaugue papaaaaaa” in every performance without fail. The I.V. League’s company is called Instant Vinatge Entertainment, a company that explores all music genres and aims to make classic timeless music. That was the stable build up to that ever freshe looking, trend making and hit maker we all know as AKA. Look out for is album titled “Alter Ego” which drops next month.

Senzo Mfundo Vilakazi well known as Kwesta MrCool to the mass is that boy who was born in a old school ghetto called K1 (Katlehong). Kwesta kicked off his musical career with an interest in poetry back in his high school days. In 2003 the young Kwesta formed a rap crew with friends named “Getto Fellaz” which later changed to “The Juvenylz”, while the group was awaiting recognition, Kwesta bravely ventured into a solo career on the side which led to him proving his ability to be a wordsmith of note as he once won the MC of the month competition on YFM’s rap activity jam and took first place on Shiz Niz’s free style kings. Kwesta’s demo found its way in the hands of Buttabing Entertainment in 2007 and that was the genesis of the national exposure of this wordsmith we know as Kwesta who has performed on the same stage and song as the likes of Kelly Rowlands. Look out for his debut album released in  September 2010 titled “Special Rekwest”



These two fellows joined us on a SNEAK-PEAK conversation and shared their interesting and humorous sneaker stories and experiences with us. My fellow SNEAK-PEAKER seat back and enjoy two of SA’s most entertaining and influencial kats speak about nothing but sneakers.

Sneak-Peaking with Khuli Chana

South African born, Mmabatho bred and well known as one third of the infamous Morafe crew,it is that freshe Motswakoriginator who goes by the name of Khuli Chana. Khuli Chana Started off by forming a duet called “Jazzzzadaz” with the soulful Kay-G back in the early 90’s, they later joined forces with the ill Tswana rhyme spitter who goes by the name of Towdee, and that was the beginning of the notorious “Morafe” Motswako group. Khuli has had a successful career with Morafe with two highly rated commercial albums and has now branched out to show the world who Khuli Chana is with his debut album titled “The Motswakoriginator”.

Khuli Chana Sneak-Peaked with us and explained how he always had a posh taste in his sneaker choice and how he still maintains that standard with his sneak game, having the old skool favourite North Star as his first fly pair of sneakers and his Adidas as the sneaker brand that represents the grown freshe Khuli Chana. Without giving away too much, go ahead and watch Khuli Chana talking about nothing but sneakers and their influence in his life and music.

Sneak-peaking with Reason

Reason The Mad Massacre often referred  to as Reason The mass or simply Reason, is the name of that  boy from K1 ( Katlehong), A lethal battle MC that massacred tons of kats on and off the streets. A whole lot of us were introduced to this artist on YFM when he brought ill jingles for ‘The Unrestricted Freshest Breakfast Show” and on “Rap Activity Jam” where he got most if not all MCs tail’s between their legs when he entered the room. He is one of the only kats Tumi from the Volume has stated to be his favorite rappers, making him his favorite rapper’s favorite rapper.

Reason has always been a huge sneaker appreciator although he modestly claims to be “A wanna be sneaker head”, he has dedicated a ill track to his Air Force 1s titled * Stand Correct Air Force 1 Tribute*, So it wasn’t a coincidence that Sneak-Peak caught up with him for a grown up sneaker conversation, as Reason would normally say “Everything happens for a Reason” let’s hear his reason for his appreciation for sneakers and the culture.

A whole lot of Sneak-Peakers missed out on the Air-Yeezy 1 drop in South Africa, which was in Shelflife (Cape Town) and Gallery of 4th (Johannesburg). Now I don't know about you but I'm still traumatised from missing out on this limited gem.

Sneak-Peak could not let any sneaker loving soul go through what I went through. So I went and hustled credible source in the SA Nike sneaker fraternity, and finally got a  fair and hopefully honest answer from them. My fellow Sneak-Peakers, "The Nike Air Yeezy 2 South African drop,will be in November.". DONE.
