Black Gold - My New "IT" Team for 2011

They came through blazing this year with their hit single "C'mon C'mon". A cleverly sampled beat with each member of the group not going more than 8bars, Black Gold might be the new Skwatta Kamp; the only difference being that ALL Black Gold's members are tight.

Fronted by the former "Mr. Jam Alley", Nikwa, the band is sure to have contacts in the right avenues making it simpler for them to make it. The group has been fighting to get into the industry for 8 years now and have surely matured into a commercial brand everybody will love. They seem to have a performance every other week and make sure they kill everytime, their hype is growing slowly but surely. Next year I predict they will be on everybody's lips, including the groupies that will be on them.

With such a massive group, one wonders how money is split. Hip Hop in S.A is already struggling to reach a million even for single artists. To have to share a cheque must be the only pain the group feels about being together. Let's just hope this group doesn't start splitting like most groups eventually do.
