HIP-HOP artistes, Cal_Vin and Emtee are set to illuminate the stage at this year’s much-hyped Shoko Festival, which runs from 29 September to 1 October in Harare.
Award winning rapper, Cal_Vin said he was looking forward the festival.
“Emtee is one of the leading hip hop stars in Africa, and sharing the stage with him would be a fantastic achievement in my career. I’m very much confident, and I promise to give my best to Shoko festival organisers,” he said.
The Z’khupan hit maker added that performing alongside Emtee would not give him a stage fright since he has previously performed with the richest rapper in Africa, Cassper Nyovest.
“Many people think I’m scared to perform with Emtee, but I’m very focused and determined to prove that I could be listed as a top African rapper in the near future,’ he added.
Cal_Vin urged people from across the country to support the festival that celebrates urban culture.
“The festival is not for Harare people only. Everyone is free to come and witness myself and other superstars dazzle the stage,” he said.
Record breaking hip-hop artiste, Emtee who has taken Africa by storm is expected to wow fans with his top charting hits Pearl Thusi and Roll Up.
Norwegian superstars Taro Cooper and Julian Sommerfedt will join local musicians namely SoulJah Love, EX Q, Takura and Simba Tagz to grace the festival.
Renowned South African comedian, Mpho Popps popularly known for cracking jokes in South African television show entitled So you think you’re funny is also expected to wow fans.
