Masterclasses and Meek Mill
Day one of the experience – on Monday, 17 June – is dedicated to hip-hop as a cultural movement and will feature street culture, masterclasses, inspiring Cold Table Convos and street fashion. Holding down the fort on the music front will be SA’s top-rated hip-hop stars AKA, Shane Eagle, Cassper Nyovest, Boity, J Molley, Nadia Nakai and Moozlie. Plus, multi-platinum selling US rapper Meek Mill will close off day one with an extra-cold performance.
Representing the fashion and art scene will be Nardstar, who is known for her graffiti art, and Galxboy founder Thatiso Dube who collaborated with Castle Lite to produce limited edition merchandise. Attendees can also look forward to exhibitions by Shesha, Nike x Sportscene, Diadora and more. They will also be treated to a rare experience when their favourite hip-hop stars participate in the lifestyle activities from gaming tournaments to the lifestyle expo and basketball games.
In an effort to foster positive dialogues within the hip-hop movement, Castle Lite is proud to present the Cold Table Convos – which will see inspiring voices of the hip-hop culture including Ugandan radio and TV personality Lee Kasumba, prominent hip-hop aficionado Mark Mac, local hip-hop icon Siyabonga ‘Slikour’ Metane, LootLove and DJ Speedsta among others.
