Last Friday, 17 April 09, the much anticipated Flex Boogie, formerly known as Hakeem, launch went down at the State Theatre in Cap City. The event had been waited on by headz for so long and much to our surprise, the attendance did not reflect this. Hakeem is a well known figure on the Cap City underground, so why did headz not come out in support? Was it because the cover charge was 60 bucks? Psh… The turn out was very disappointing and I think we as the hip hop community, especially Cap City, should stop complaining about not enough Underground events and actually support the one’s that we have.
One a lighter note, Flex Boogie’s new album Pens & Swords is another must have for fans of real hip hop. We all know that Hakeem is a lyricist. His exhibition of skill is to be admired, his flow is too dope, and in terms of concepts, H’ got it on lock. The new album boasts some new characteristics from Flex, but the jazzy piano and bass guitars are still there.
Featuring bangers like Tswakomore and Thwantsha Monwana, Flex Boogie displays the lyrical genius of Hakeem that we all know so well and a tribute to his baby girl shows off the soppy dad side of him. With such brilliant material on the new album, it’s almost sad that the event could have been more of a success. Big Ups to Flex Boogie for holding it down for the UnderGround. Cap City, WAKE UP!! Pens & Swords is available in most major music stores around GP. Get on houseofhiphop.co.za for more information.
Look out for features on RAS, Poet the Sonnet and an in-depth look at UnderGround business. [How to get Paid]
