The Full Shoko Festival 2015 Program
The full Shoko Festival 2015 program is available finally, and as the resourceful yet cheap mavericks that we are, we have managed to obtain it for you in full! Don't forget, it's $5 entry per day which gives you full access to ALL the shows on that day (a veritable fortune for us, but surely a pittance for you Mr Moneybagses out there) AND FREE on Saturday for the Peace In The Hood concert in Chitungwiza.
Besides the headline South African acts Cassper Nyovest, Bucie, Tol A$$ Mo and Deep Fried Man, as well as UK rappers Blak Twang & Silvastone and German acts Symbiz and Dawee, look out for local acts Jnr Brown, Soul Jah Love, Doc Vikela, Trae Yung, Stunner, Shinsoman, Shingi Mangoma, The Monkey Nuts, Davina Green and more. The conferences, pop-ups, rap battles, poetry slams, comedy shows and acoustic events make sure everyone has something to look forward to too.

Put out a flyer and host a welcome-back dinner for us because Dan & Phil return to the podcast after a brief hiatus! There’s a lot to catch up on, from a review of the BET Awards, to the furore surrounding Madam Boss attending, and even a conversation on nepotism after Saweetie asked people to stop calling her a nepo baby. We even have leftovers from last week about Tyla on The Breakfast Club, and very important questions about selling feet and snitching. Enjoy!
