South African tertiary institutions have always been recognized as the breeding ground for the leaders of tomorrow. At the Tshwane University of Technology (TUT), the fusion of these bright minds with hip hop has given birth to Street Poetry & Expressionists.
At first glance, they might seem like just another group of students having a chill session, but upon further investigation you realize that these group of individual’s posses a lyrical gift. From gangster rap and intricate flows to mad word play and some of the sharpest lyricism in Cap City, TUT’s hip hop culture is, for lack of any other word, mad ill.
Every Friday from 12 to 5pm, a group of creative minds gather at the TUT Pretoria campus. Their meeting is in the name of hip hop, rhymes, punchlines and flows, but most importantly, expression. What had started out as a group of friends just hanging and kickin’ ciphers has developed into the birth of a vibrant movement. Expressionists are a collective of students from in and around Cap City that are pushing hip hop on the underground. Boasting with MCs like Lebses, Toxic Verbalist and The Almighty One.
Right now Expressionists are planning the release of their first mixtape, which will be pushed on the Cap City street hustle. Look out for interviews with Expressionists members and a review of their upcoming mixtape.
