Watch: A young Cassper spitting some of his first bars

Johannesburg - Footage has re-surfaced of a young Cassper Nyovest spitting some of his first bars.

Long before he went platinum and had his song played on rotation across the country, before he filled up domes and sparked sing-alongs by merely being in the room, Cassper was like any other teenage boy trying to bust a rhyme with his friends in someone's living room.

A video posted to YouTube in 2008 shows the (very skinny) rapper and his friend KT dropping a freestyle.

Even then it seems Cassper had the skills to pay the bills.

Look how far the boy has come...
