University of Botswana LLC Day

France Ba Mreppa
On this day, all the varsity talented pips came together to showcase their skills. Talk about blowing your horn, that is what went down at LLC Day in Basco. Basco ne ba itshupa bothakga le bokgoni. throught the competition, it was clear that Terence Kgwarae and france ba Mreppa were the pace setters. They ended up facing each other in the rapping category. Though they into hip hop, it was clear that the two represent the best of different realms of hip hop. Ba Mreppa on the realm of Motswako tase while Terence ruled the more eloquent Rap realm[in English]. At the end, the organisers had to have avictor as it was promised to the varsity community and France Ba Mreppa came tops. Botswana have to give it to both of these artist, they are talented.
On the Mic.

motswakolista pumping Botsa Palamente
Botswana Hip Hop Association set the stage for Hip Hop chill-as on Sundays. The intention is to keep the fire burning. They found it fit to include the motswakolistas who according to me were dominating in numbers. We applaud that as it shows that indeed our artists have something to share with their people hence the inculcation of the respective mother tongue in the rhymes and lines. We wish this could grow and becomes something of note with a bigger magnitude than this. Morogo wa ngwana betsho....The event ran from March 4th to April 29th 2012. The proud sponsor was City Radio.
