SoulAmp Rocked out at OktoberFest

Soul Amp performed at Oktoberfest this 21st of October. Oktoberfest was a beer and food festival organised by Rotaract club whose aim was to raise funds for charity causes. The group was all packed up and ready from Africa, aka Canny One, who was also DJaying at the event to Soul Amp’s manager/producer and artist Basssik.

True to their mission statement underlined on the Soul Amp website, the group plans on making a change in the country. I only found this out when I managed to sneak in a question as to seeing this was a reputable event , “So you guys getting paid?”

“This was all for charity, nah we turned down the payment, the offer was made though. We trying to stay relevant to what our mission actually is”. Gingy, Soul Amp’s emcee explained to me. “A time for that will be there, we are only getting started”. Which I found to be such a refreshing view for local urban artists on the scene.

The most memorable performance was a single that came from Dee Oh Dub’s project “ that dropped last week, titled Mr Sugar Fix that features his own labelmates InkHeart, and Africa. The song’s beat produced by veteran producer Basssik is sustained by a hypnotic clap and bare minimum drum

and hip hop sample that gives emphasis to the lyricists. The track exhudes the undeniable lyrical prowess and raw talent that is present in the group.

Dee Oh Dub releases his project “Proud Soul” this November 3rd via the group’s website www.soulampent.com.
