Darknyts 215 takes us into a ‘Khaltsha’ state of mind in their newly released project.
Cape Town based Hip Hop duo Darknyts 215 has finally released their Khayelitsha inspired project titled ‘Welcome to 7784’. The project features an extensive roster of Xhosa rappers including Soul T, Bhut Legend and Trusted SLK to name a few, while it houses 10-records.
‘Welcome To 7784’ permits the duo to delve into their musical abilities as they have diverse musical tastes with genres such as Afro Beats, Hip Hop and Afro Pop while they draw inspiration from what transpires in Khayelitsha. The cover brings to life the state of Khayelitsha as it vividly depicts the events that take place in Khayelitsha from informal settlements to how social ills have boxed one into the state of Khayelitsha with what seems to be a welcoming in motion.
In their Khayelitsha inspired project, Darknyts215 makes a bold claim which sees the duo telling us that they’re in it for the long haul while Xhosa rappers such as Bhut Legend uses their VN abilities to motivate the Hip Hop duo to rise above social ills of Khayelitsha. ‘Welcome to 7784’ sees the duo penning down their heartfelt appreciation to those who have been supporting their music since the inception of Darknyts215, while they takes us into another sight of Khayelitsha as the township is often lauded for socials ills that takes place but the duo takes us into another view which compliments leisure in all forms. Khayelitsha based Hip Hop duo plead with those who remain subjected to the injustices of Khayelitsha to rise above their life challenges and place an emphasis on what occurs in an era of fruitful work.
