Cape Town - Fresh from his trip to the Netherlands for the sold-out Parow Fest, Jack Parow is back and dropped his new album, Afrika 4 Beginners.
Afrika 4 Beginners is rough and melodic and as South African as it gets – just what we’ve come to expect from Jack Parow.
The King of Afrikaans rhymes is top of his game, delivering a mixed bag of raps and beats to make you laugh, cry, think and, basically, get down or up, or whatever you like. The lyrical rap genius provides the pumping beat to all the good times to come - the perfect sound track to memories you may, or may not, want to remember.
Afrika 4 Beginners is now available on all digital music platforms worldwide. Click here to get it.
Parow mos don’t like to party by alone, so he roped in some of his chommies for this jol. Listen out for the fresh talent Early B, American rapper Dirt Nasty, HHP, Aewon Wolf, Hunter Kennedy and the Happy Boys minstrels with some comedy skits by Schalk Bezuidenhout and Twakkie thrown in in-between.
The killer tunes are produced by Fokofpolisiekar’s Johnny de Ridder, Loki Rothman, Sketchy Bongo, Die Heuwels Fantasties’ Fred den Hartog, Desert_Head and Taxi Violence’s Rian Zietsman.
