Friday Night – Magenge (Official Video)

Out of Johannesburg, South Africa we have the genesis of a new rap duo dubbed Friday Night. Consisting of SkyCityUno and Yung Tyran the duo say they

“seek to rejuvenate the Hip Hop industry on all fronts. Well written songs, infectious production and a fresh perspective on Africa form the foundation of the duo’s musical ideology.”

The groups debut release Magenge which was produced by Canada-based Zimbabwean producer Charlie Zimbo just dropped with its video. Shot by C.I Jizzle and Orlando Da Costa it makes clever use of simple yet entertaining snots that fit the motif of the band perfectly.

According to Sky City and Tyran “Friday Night is a metaphor for the anticipation and excitement the group generates with every release, performance and project, it’s always something to look forward to.” The groups debut Mixtape which shall be titled Friday ( that won’t get confusing) is apparently completed and is scheduled for a winter release. I am not sure which winter they are referring to because temperatures are rising awfully fast in this part of the world.
