37 Energy Levels

You know him from producing hits for JR (Gata Lenna), Nomsa Mazwai (With You) anshe's been in the background but decided its now time for his light to shine, those close to him call him 'Mpho' and the music industry knows him as 37mph.

37 has been working on his debut album for the last four years, with production being disrupted by other artists begging for hits, he's finally released his album simply titled '37 Energy Levels' which is bass 'n drum orientated

37MPH has borrowed talents of the likes of Caroline Barole (former Generations actress), 12 year old violinist In0Cha, Sam Mutukudzi (son of jazz legend Oliver Mutukudzi)

It's quiet a refreshing and innovative album, i would edge music lovers to pick up a copy and have a listen, you wont regret!

Morafe Member Goes Solo

Khuli of Morafe has been working on his debut album 'The Motswakoriginator Show' and confirmed with Miznformed the album is scheduled for an April release.

He's worked with group members Towdee, KG (who are featured and produced tracks respectively) and the production team also includes Iv League, Don Juan of Jazzworkx, pH of Raw X and features Bongo Riot from G.I and JR

He's also shooting a video for 'Push' produced by pH soon. You know where you heard it 1st!!!

SAMA Pictures

Now that we've dealt with the nominees and the goodie bag, it's time for fashion. Loved Lira's jackets (she's such a lady), Love Rhythmic Elements but think they could've put a little effort, Thomas adopted the 'Year Of The Gentleman' theme, Khanyi Mbau was blinging as always. Bonang and Andile reunited on the yellow carpet (Andile's colour co-ordination was on point)

Skwatta Kamp Back In Studio

Skwatta Kamp is working on their 6th studio album, they've recorded 8 tracks so far. They working with Amu and a couple of new producers. The still untitled album is scheduled for a Sept release. Their first single will impact radio early April!

Shugasmakx's Imisebenzi Yakho is becoming a radio monster all around the country, currently charting @ #25 on the METRO FM's Top40..If you like this song dont forget to catch him performing the hit single on LIVE tonight with Brickz

Breeze Around Town

Living in a city means that traffic jams are your worst nightmare. Im currently trying to work out my transportation as im a woman on the go, my job requires me to be all over town and i can't be stuck in traffic

If you are just like me, then a Vuka Scuta is an answer to your prayers. It's stylish and has character, petrol is next to nothing and the prizes ranges between R6000 and R12 000 so basically you can just save up and buy it cash or take it on contract (just like you would for your phone)

Check out http://www.vukascuta.co.za/, there's no reason for anyone to be taking taxis!

Which One Would You Like To Wake Up Next To...

We all have people we'd like to see in the morning, on this edition of 'Which One Would You Like To Wake Up Next To...' we are featuring Channel O's Lungsta and MTV Base's Sizwe Dhlomo, so who is it?

SAMA Goodie Bag

This is when everyone wishes they were a guest presenter or a performing artist at the SAMA's, every year the SAMA has a goodie bag to die for and WHAT'S INSIDE?

· A sleeveless puffer jacket, long sleeve hoodie, laptop bag and other limited edition from the world’s premium beer Heineken.
· A pair of stylish Havaianas from the makers of the best rubber sandals in the world, Havaianas.
· Exquisite Rayban and Vogue sunglasses from Luxottica, the world leader in the design, manufacture, marketing and distribution of prescription frames and sunglasses.
· The super-musical Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone from the world's leading mobile phone supplier Nokia.
· Two of the top Xbox 360 games from South African’s leading gaming brand, Electronic Arts
· And a bottle of Moët & Chandon and membership to Joburg’s new sophisticated clubbing experience, Inc.

So if you’re not a guest presenter or a performing artist at the 15th Annual MTN South African Music Awards then you might want to start getting friendly with someone who is, because the Goodie Bag this year is going to be better than good, it’s going to be great!

Hmmm!..who should i be friendly to? Tbo Touch i have a feeling you going to be a presenter, wanna do lunch sometime? hahahah!
