Show Dem – Make the Circle Beega

19 February 2010 11 Comments

Want to know what all the fuss is about?

One of the biggest stories on the South African music scene in the last few weeks, is the sudden, almost-overnight rise to fame of Die Antwoord (who we think are totally brilliant). Another very important internet smash-hit is found in South African Rapper JR’s claim to show dem, by making the circle beega.

An instant smash-hit on the internet, radio stations and dance floors. Brilliant!

Get it? Got it!
