Nothing PAP about this flex


In the days before snap-backs and letter-man jackets were big in this hemisphere, when Kwaito was still King, Siyabonga Ngwekazi was rocking his own style. We should have known he would rise to the levels he has when we were tempted to watch that basketball show on a Saturday afternoon, knowing full well that soccer was our fix. We should have guessed that we would be hooked on this man’s style and charisma when he appeared on our screens again and again, first on Street Journal (2005), Real Goboza (2008), Metro FM Music Awards (2007) and when he graced the screen in 2009 with the now infamous Nonhtle Thema on Vuzu, we were sold. He branched out into the radio business, hosting a show with MTV’s Sizwe Dlomo on YFM – I remember a time when I didn't like hip- hop that was a time before “Seez and Scoop”.


He now ventures into the world of fashion with his brand P.A.P, he calls the men’s clothing line “Pieces by PAP”, PAP ( Parental Advisory Productions) being a joint venture; a production company started by himself and his “Forever young”  co-stars Thomas Gumede and Lungile Radu.

TOYA

TOYA There are very few people in this country who have yet to hear "pump it on" , even less people know of the eccentric Ms. Buthelezi who goes by the stage name, "Toya Delazy" , the head strong songbird is the epitome of new-age pop that has some obvious hip-hop roots in terms of her styling and some of her melodies , thus making her a brand that is viable to a varied and vast market. The first time I heard her single I was watching a nondescript music show on a channel that I will never remember, when suddenly their theme song rang out and it was Toya telling me to pump it on, the following week while channel hopping I ( accidentally) came across the same show where they had her as a special guest. There I was, watching a 'uniquely' dressed individual play the piano and sing , I was bowled over with excitement ; not many of our contemporary artists show off their capabilities or musical performance range in terms of what they can do . Since the day...

my eyes and you

Praise worthy figment of this bards aspirations Potentially awesome "before" picture Dangerously perched perfection atop  pedestal Of nubian epitome. See you as I do. Feel as I feel when you smile Or speak or cry or laugh or smile or sit or sleep. Your everything, inspires admiration. Know this, know it to be true. Temple of thyself made by ancient hands and brought to life by human hearts Human loins, through whose collission came about your birth. Soulful creature, do not wonder the hills of life with sorrowful intent Do not shed a tear for anything less than an entity , a force of nature such as yourself.  Look in the mirror and be content.  For when my eyes look upon you I feel blessed, to see and know such delicate brashness and attractive "dnt care" My eyes and u have got something going on They cant stop watching and you dont mind performing. Eyes cannot comprehend the pure beauty that is you Cannot, but try to, drink you up in one glance...

You walked lightly

You Walked Lightly You walked lightly into my life Captivating and lovely to my mind, At first, I never cared who you were Now I don’t know who I am without you, You kissed me I felt my world change, You held me I heard my heart awaken, You loved me And my soul was born anew You walked lightly into my life Now my heart knows who you are And with every breath And every step I take down lonely roads, Your hand is my staff Your voice is my guide Your strength my shelter You’re passion my awakening. You walked lightly into my life, And all my pain You took as your own, And all my fears You cast into the sea, All my doubt Lost in your eyes, You walked lightly into my life And no matter if you choose to stay or go, My life is forever changed, Just because you loved me For a moment in time. And because I choose To love you For the rest of mine. - Tracey Newson -
