Concrete Grind Review by Thandikhaya Mzozoyana

The Concrete Grind ön Sunday was epic. It started late but most of us were late anyway. After the appologies by the Mastabilda, Storm got the busine$$ going with the "THUNDERSTORM PLATFORM".
 
Storm is a legend period and i always pity an artist that perfoms after his set. Yis tried but lacked energy and delivery. The beat battle between Adon Geel and Subz was mind blowing. Geel was on that soul tip while Subz kept dishing out head bangerz only, and during that battle MC's got on stage and kicked their verses. Romano entertained us with his wacky signature laugh and we got a suprise by the name of X-LYRICIST, the kid packs heat(watch out Yahav).
 
Subz won the beat battle. Hustle Simmons gave a dope set and out rapped himself, there's a track called "ZIKHIPHANI" were he explains that he is doing it for the love(don't get it twisted though he wants the gwap but he ain't gona fake it), it's for the heads. Hustle ain't tryin' to save the world. Sons of ...Law are out to "save the world" and they also killed it with Yahav being the more charismatic member of the duo. During their perfomance my lil' bro was like, "bhuti this is the kind of music you need to sit down and listen carefully". Amandla to the Sons of Law!
 
Naked Eye almost stole the show and shipped it to the Vaal, it's hard to please a PE crowd especially when you're out of town but Naked Eye had us singing alöng to his hooks like he was our homeboy. He closed his set with a Sotho track and we sang along to that as if it was our first language. Sifuna uNaked Eye abuye qha...
 
Yahkeem made sure that the title stay at home by starting at a high note "HARD HITTING" and that got us going buck wild(we were not bobbing our heads, we were bobbing from the wast up). The Mastabilda gave his all perfoming tracks from his previous album and current one. Sprite was in the house reminding heads to trust their instinct and big up to Yahkeem for organising that.
 
 We're looking forwad to the next Concrete Grind instalment and big up to the Grassroots Festival. PEACE!
