Cape Town - If you’re a Hip Hop fan and were in Jozi then you were probably at the Axcess festival over this past weekend.
With international headline acts such as SchoolboyQ, Rae Sremmurd and Kid Ink and 16 of our local Hip Hop artists (Cassper, Cash Time, DJ Dimples and the list goes on…)
Well, our SA rappers are not impressed as they were treated like crap when the international guys showed up…
Reason took to Twitter to vent about this...
#AxecessJozi was dope last night. Everything was amazing. Except for security treating us like s*** when the internationals showed up.— IG: ReasonHD_ (@ReasonHD) March 8, 2015

I swear. As much as I disagree with @akaworldwide's "No International openings" rule... I can't deny that he's right about why he doesn't.— IG: ReasonHD_ (@ReasonHD) March 8, 2015

I understand we have to take protect our international acts no doubt... But you protecting them from the biggest acts in SA too? Really?— IG: ReasonHD_ (@ReasonHD) March 8, 2015

The sad part was... When @CassperNyovest was on, I wasn't a security hazard. But the second Rae Sremmud showed up, all hell broke loose.— IG: ReasonHD_ (@ReasonHD) March 8, 2015

My point is. I dont see why the levels are still so severe between local and international when we ALL kill the same shows.— IG: ReasonHD_ (@ReasonHD) March 8, 2015

If you SA artists want to get treated like Kid Ink ... All you have to do is catch a flight to HARARE or LAGOS or WINDHOEK or NAIROBI etc ??— AKA (@akaworldwide) March 8, 2015

Well, at least Cassper got some loving from the international acts, he posted this:
