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.

AIR-YEEZY 2, SA DROP DATE

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.
                                                     
                                                             AIR-YEEZY

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.

                                 NIKE-AIR-YEEZY 2 UNRELEASED SAMPLE

So gather you're funds, be ready for the next sneak-peak up-date about the launch and drop venue,
                                     AND YOU CAN THANK ME LATER

FACT OR MISCONCEPTION RAP-UP

Our parents do it, our teachers do it, our grandparents did it, our priests do it, they did it to Jesus; you do it. Buttom line is that it has been done,its done and always will be done by all and to all. What am I on about? nah it aint sex.Its associating physical appearance and features such as sneakers with the character wearing them.


Its that FACT OR MISCONCEPTION talk again. Sneak-Peak introduced you to the topic with a humourous yet very relevant clip ( fact-or-misconception part-1 )  from what some would classify as "product of MTV hiphop culture" who goes by the name of Terrific pain. We now rap up the the debate with a compilation of views from various characters all in one exciting; humorous and eye brow raising  two minute clip, to help all sneak-peakers establish whether associating a Sneaker with the character is a FACT or MISCONCEPTION.

Sneak-Peakers I bring to you the final Fact or Misconception clip...sit back and enjoy,do comment on the comment box wether you think its a Fact or Misconception

Sneak-Peaking with Scoop

Sneak-Peak caught up with one fellow that has never been afraid of standing out with his eclectic dress sense; bright colours and a mean sneaker collection.
This guy used to shop down town JHB in shady looking stores and rocked colourful skinny jeans in 2007 (3 years before they became a heavy trend in SA).
His style is said to be largely influenced by Basketball; HipHop; street couture and motown, which was enough to make him one of GQ's best dressed men in 2010.











Who am I going on about? it could only be Siyabonga Scoop Ngwekazi. Lets hear what he has to say about his love for sneakers and the culture.
