Hymphatic Thabs at Back To The City HipHop Fest

Back To The City is known to us as the biggest hiphop festival is the whole of southern Africa, this year over 10K hiphop maniacs will gather in Newtown Johannesburg South Africa on the 27th April 2017, performing at this huge festival is almost every established South African rappers. Amongst many performing me here is our very own Hymphatic Thabs.

And here is to one of our flag hoisters, The Hymphatic Thabs -born Thabiso Mohapeloa- Thabs is a mad Giant on the mic, and a clearly cultured rap veteran whose story begins in the mid nineties. Legend says this gifted young Thabs had to move down to Johannesburg due to his activism for hiphop against the system. As if the raw talent was not enough, the Golden city equiped this then young veteran with so much for his hiphop life. I first learned of Thabs when I was in high school as a hiphop todler, i read about him in a South African hiphop magazine Hype.

Winning some awards that none from of our nation has ever won after him, the Album of the Year Hype Award 2007. It was at this time that I learned we were really getting there as Lesotho hiphop. Only in 2012 I seeked his music out and i came accross The Age Of Horus, an album produced by Kanif for Lapetus Records. Truth is there is a story behind all greatness and today we only tell of his latest honoring. This all time underground defender and lover is once again flying the Blue White Greens, this year he is at South Africa's biggest Hiphop Festival #BTTC Back to the City, Taking Place in Newtown Johannesburg South Africa on the 27th April Along side homelander and Metro Awards Nominee Kommanda Obbs, Apolo Brown and Casper Nyovest just to mention a few. Feauring with Zola 7 in The Heritage Back To The City Festival Special Performance this should tell that Thabs is really a guest of honour in this Huge festival. Thisould serve as an example that even our kind can be the my gifted anywhere we all could work on our craft, we saw Kommanda Obbs and J-Cob there last year, i personally was hoping toee morehis year but sadly that was not the case, however Thabs is like 3 rappers and a half, with him and Obbs on the BTTC stages, Lesotho will be well represented.
