Rouge the Rapper to set stage alight

Award-winning Rouge the Rapper is headlining next month’s edition of Red Bull Music Studios Cape Town Live on Thursday 5 March at 6pm.

Not only will Rouge, pictured, be headlining this amazing musical experience, but she will also be in the Red Bull Music Studios in Cape Town during the course of that week experimenting with new sounds.

“I am very excited to make music outside of the pressure of my upcoming album while trying different things and different sounds that I have never tried before.

“As for my performance, the fans can expect an experience like none before and perhaps even a vulnerability I have never shown before,” said Rouge the Rapper.

First Thursday will be supported by Cape Town’s Sipho the Gift, Seavhe DeejaY and J-Cue from Pietermaritzburg.

Rapper Sipho’s first album, Coming of Age, featured the talents of North Carolina’s Well$, as well as vocalist Cherry Eyes.

His second album, Kintsugi, showcased his ability to tell people about themselves while using himself as a mirror.

Sive Ngadlela, affectionately known as Seavhe DeejaY, is from Khayelitsha.

His ability to effortlessly mix genres saw him become a resident DJ at Rands Cape Town, one of the biggest lifestyle spaces in the city.

J-Cue was introduced to music at a young age. As a high school pupil, he landed a residency at the deep house mecca, 033 Lifestyle, where he honed his DJ skills while opening and closing for the likes of Black Coffee, DJ Clock, Denz Devarez, Vinny Da Vinci, Claude and Fistaz Mixwell to name a few.
