Following the attention and appreciation received from fans and the media when he remixed popular hip hop songs in 2014, Jay Makopo has finally released his own body of work, titled Suicide Kids EP 2.
Jay Makopo launched his EP at the Joburg Theatre – The Fringe and the response from his supporters was exhilarating. His three main supporting acts were female rapper Chazz le Hippie, the well-known Priddy Ugly and rap duo Frat Pack – who complemented the style and feel of the overall show.
When he took the chance by introducing and performing the tracks from his new EP, the upcoming rapper admitted he wasn’t sure of how the audience would receive him and the songs. It was his first time presenting the body of work on stage at a live concert following the release of his first single from the EP, Boom Shaka.
Having planned two months prior to the event which he independently organised and orchestrated, with added help from friends and family; he successfully pulled off an entertaining performance that kept the audience on their feet.
The latest single, Boom Shaka has received attention following his appearances at the iRock Concert and Maftown Heights after winning a nation-wide voting competition to take part in the event.
