THE MIXTAPE Theory

GD “Mixtapes are not new to Malawi a few of them have .been released but the uniqueness of this particular .mixtape lies in the fact that it puts into action an idea .that has been talked about by a lot of rappers when .they get together freestyling or in the studio recording .tracks . It is a well known fact that Malawian hiphop is .not well recognized outside the borders or even in some parts of our country this is because the music have not reached that far . Joy radio and Power one o one are the only radio stations with hiphop programs and local hiphop is mainly played on those programs only and to add to that it is hard and expensive to organize a hiphop concert so to an extent I wouldnot say am surprised that hiphop is not popular . But now a group of rappers have decided to put hiphop music out there to the people and the most effective way is through working together for instance, the approximate cost for organizing a show is twenty thousand kwacha , who can single handedly meet that cost with the risk of your show being a flop? Well these rappers figured that fifteen or more people coming together and contributing a little can do the trick plus it can add diversity to the show which can make the whole show interesting . It later on occurred to the rappers that to make the show more meaningful they can come up with a mix tape to promote the concept and the individual rappers hence the existence of the underground noise mixtape which is currently underway. Most rappers have projects locked in their bedroom drawers and this is a chance for them to put their work out there to the public.
