Pick Up All The Flowers (Demolish The Forest) by Gary Cummiskey

On My Poems I by Trevor Munster

The metaphors are random
The blade is muddy
The form instinctual
like a baby fighting a lion it
don't need to beat
The starker the article
the bigger the capital
You've made a keen enemy,
and can never be king

CBLQ (R80) by Gary Cummiskey

Sif Ous

The Durban rap group Sif Ous are smart, playful and funny. The immediate impulse is to file them under "joke rap" but this would be both inaccurate and unfair. Behind the bawdy lyrics and the scatological humour is a remarkable intelligence. It's clear that the trio have an excellent understanding of hip-hop tropes and while they subvert them, they do so in an affectionate way. Much like Das Racist one gets the impression that Sif Ous are, first and foremost, fans of rap music. Hopefully there are more music videos on the way. ~ Pravasan Pillay
