We liked the previous recent work by DJ Hamma and Jitsvinger. No surprise then the result of the two of them collaborating is dope. The track is lifted from the album we blogged about last year, but the video’s new. DJ Hamma says: “We shot it in August 2010. I was initially very disappointed with the shoot and the footage. Too much drama… The footage wasn’t enough, not what I asked for and didn’t follow the initial storyline we had in mind. I wanted to redo the shoot but got caught up in my life and travels as a dj and producer. I just about gave up on it but due to the mounting requests from people for this particular song I decided to have another look at the footage. The idea was to see if I could slap something remotely decent together to become the ‘unofficial’ video representation of this track. “Niks om te se nie” translates as “Nothing to say”. Jitsvinger expresses his views regarding modern day mc’ing. He feels that mainstream hiphop lacks lyrical substance and doesn’t really relate to the mind and thinking of the general listener or followers of hiphop music. In the end it’s all politics. It’s like he sees it as the common fast food franchise… no matter where you buy your meal it will taste the same… Mc’s became these carbon copies of what they see on tv. We believe in ‘doing us’… this song expresses that to the fullest and with no apologies nor shame.”
