They were also the first hip hop musicians to perform for international rap stars, among them Coolio and Lost Boyz. Fast forward to last night, (Friday night) hip hop enthusiasts, music lovers, and cultural aficionados were treated to a one of a kind show where UnKut Africa and SK8CITY presented “The Blocc Party.” The party commemorated 50 years of Hip Hop culture as well as set the stage for the upcoming UnKut Hip Hop Awards 2023. This saw the organisers pay a special tribute to the hip hop pioneers and ultimately recognized them by awarding them the prestigious UnKut Hip Hop Awards 2023 Lifetime Achievement recognition. They inspired a new generation of artistes who were motivated to use hip hop as a platform for social change.
