When someone is close to heart, its never easy to forget them. This week on the 22nd of June late SA hip hop star "Pro Kid" would have been celebrating his 39th birthday. A number of musician have come together before this in honour of Linda "Pro" Mkhize's memory. The recent commemoration is not short of being honourary. Dj Citilyts who is the PRO's younger brother has teamed up with Bless and Blayze to bring a smash hit which features his legendary late older brother Pro Kid.
This collaboration comes not only as music shared by artist, but a reflection of how Pro Kid tared the road he had paved. Many artists across the fort still sing their praises of this Soweto born Icon. This collaboration of Dj Citilyts along with Bless and Blayze, is an emphasis of the growth and how far South African Hip Hop has come. With the combination of the old and new wave coming together, this is surely worth feeding the ear.
Dj Citilyts features Bless, Blayze and "no. 1 Soweto boy" Pro Kid titled "Kasilam", will be unleashed on all digital platforms along with the music video today, Friday the 26th of June. The artists have said their piece and the continuity of his legacy lives on. " Wena uthini ngo PRO!"
Last night SABC 1 paid a befitting tribute to late Linda "Prokid" Mkhize by airing a two part documentary - The Kasi Rap Bible.
The documentary holds Pro’s third album up as The Kasi Rap Bible, the title of the doccie series, and shows how this album was created.
“The album inspired a lot of artists from the township to rap in their mother tongue, hence the title.”
The film maker found the going tough as he relived what he referred to as the prophetic work of Pro.
