It's been quite the eventful weekend. The Metro FM Music Awards have been the biggest conversation of it all and we'll be updating you with what went down as the day continues but SA Hip Hop heads have been rather reflective this weekend. From Rouge who was very vocal about Xenophobia, to the rap Steve Biko saying the country needs a mass Bob Marley intervention to DJ Vigi reacting to the need for supporting artists more prompted by Riky Rick's acceptance speech at the Metro's. Peep some highlight tweets below:
I LOVE WHAT I DO SO FUCKING MUCH... LIKE LA-WAY...ENKOSI THAT I HAVE AN AUDIENCE.THANK YOU GUYS.11 YEARS AND WE STILL RUNNING AND GUNNING

Need to close down this country for year, let everyone go listen to Bob Marley and come back emancipated from metal slavery.
