The Short Road:
Early 90’s I started out with an 8 man crew named “Street Corner Thugs”, which had a divers sound taking its forms from the then American sounds of the west coast style & some members with a hard east coast style, with “Spliff J”, Mark, Cats Claw & Big are some of the Members.
In 1994 I started my own crew/group “Maxcui” with Lynda “Snambuzane” aka “Lyndz”, “Phil Coki” on the keys & Martin Pike with “Splif J” later joining the group. Martin later left to join “Inadiflow” with his Brother & then on to Coca Cola’s “Ghetto Rough”.
I took a break from the front scene, Started an Entertainment Company with “Lynda” & “Nandipha” name “Gu Entertainmnet” specializing in Live events & shows.
On Our first show at the “Valve’ we brought down “Cashless Society” with support from the “Architypes” ” ‘X’ the 24th Letter” joined us later. The Live Wirez concept was such a success we got a live spot on UCT Radio to do a 2hr Hip Hop radio Show every Friday. “X” became our on Air Voice. The show ran for a year.
In the mean time the Live stage shows gave lots of MC’s from the Cape Town area a voice & stage to show their skills, Up & coming at the time was “Rattex”, “Driemanskap”, “Unique” with Xolisa & Krits yeSpaza, Eliterat Skills.
“Lynds” then decided to pursue a recording project with “Rattex” who later moved to Pioneer Unit,I remained in support of the two after we closed “Gu Entertainment”.
Coded records from time to time requested input from me on different projects for “Xabiso”, “Supreme” & “Emage”.
At the end of 2008 I officially joint Coded Records to Manage Their Artist. The move would coincide with Mika’s entry into“Coded Records”.
Our first order of Bussines was the Signing of a new Artist from Paarl “Yunique”. As “Mika” would say from that point on ‘Good tings R gwan’.
Our 1st mission being to reorganize & set goals for coded to make a huge impact on the Cape Town & South African Music Scene.
“So stay tune. So U can say U saw from which point the storm Began” My quote.
