    Youngsta spoke the truth, the Coloured community having been consuming American Hip Hop since the beginning, our idea of identity was partly shaped by American figures due to extreme lack of representation and media coverage of our own community. We saw ourselves in the likes of American artists and understood their struggle against the system.

    Youngsta still has that Cape Town Verword teaching running in his veins, taught by his grandfather and father that mixed-race Africans aren't African and should be proud and not mix with others. A Verwoerd success story if you ask me.
