Loving this parody of New York by Jay-Z feat Alecia Keys. The New Dork – Entrepreneur state of mind showcases exactly the life of an up and coming web entrepreneur.

Local rapper JR is making the circle bigger and bigger with his new hit song Show Dem from his album Colourfull. The song Show Dem with its catchy tune and easy to remember  lyrics “Make the circle bigger” has hit local radio stations and club dance floors by storm.

JR’s “Show Dem” has been bringing fun and a unique South African flavor to dance floors all around the country and now JR has released the music video to Show Dem.

Make da circle beeger, now show dem! Good luck trying to get this song out of your head.

Also check out some other local artists like Straatligkinders, Jesse Clegg, Parlotone and Van Coke Kartel.

One of the biggest music festivals every year with great international and local lineups will not happen this year. The Coke Zero Fest is probably the most anticipated rock music event every year, but fans will have to anticipate extra longer this year.

Although there has not been an officially released statement by Coca-Cola South Africa, Dionne Domyan from Penny Stein Promotions confirmed that the Coca Zero Fest will not happen this year.

“The sad news is that there is no Coke Zero Fest this year as Coca-Cola are one of the major sponsors of the Fifa World Cup so all their energy (and resources) have been channeled to this event,” Domyan told Entertainment Africa.

“We are however hoping for an official statement from Coca-Cola in the next few days regarding this,” Domyan continued.

Facebook has been flooded by the news on various groups by fans expressing their disappointment, while some groups have already started suggesting what bands they want to see in the 2011 line up. The list include Paramore, Linkin Park and Red Hot Chili Peppers, right through to Green Day, My Chemical Romance and Slipknot.

Some good news though is that if you were looking forward to one hell of a rock show you can always go rock away at Ramfest IV. Ramfest will be taking place February 26 – 27 at Worcester and for the first time in Gauteng on the 6th of March.

Some of the local bands you will be able to see at Ramfest include Fokofpolisiekar, The Narrow, The Dirty Skirts, Jack Parow, Die Heuwles Fantasties and Taxi Violence just to name a few. This years international act is Pendulum from Australia & UK

Francois Van Coke is at it again with Van Coke Cartel’s latest single from their up and comming “Skop, skiet en donner” album. Van Coke has again reinvented the local rock sound with their latest single “Voor ons stof word” directly translated as “before we turn to dust”.

The song has a subtle electronica undertone, I can only imagine this is thanks to the influence of Die Heuwels Fantasies’ and Fokofplosiekars’ Hunter Kennedy.

If you like the video you can download the song for free from Rhythm Online.

Most of you that know me knows that I am actually an Afrikaans klong from Bellville Rock City. Thus my passion for the Afrikaans rock revolution.

If you are Afrikaans, or live in South Africa chances are that you know who Kurt Darren is and about his “treffer” Kaptein Span Die Seile. I for one am not a big fan of Kurt Darren or his hit song Kaptein Span Die Seile.

Me not being a fan of old Kurt is still up there, but my hate for his song has just changed. I now introduce to you Straatligkinders, I wrote about their collaboration with Hip Hop artist Koldproduk here. Now the band from Potch, Straatligkinders, have gone and do it again with their remake of “Kaptein Span Die Seile”, allot more soothing to the ear as to how Kurt is doing it.

Enjoy, let me know what you think.
