'Project 23' set to revolutionise the rap game

An avant-garde body of work titled &#039;Project 23&#039; is on the brink of reshaping the country&#039;s rap landscape. The project is set to be officially launched on Saturday, 19 August, in Windhoek. Executive produced by visionary creative Elifas Andreas, ‘Project 23’ is a collaborative undertaking featuring 16 rap artists from Namibia. Consisting of 15 tracks - each showcasing a distinctive style and drawing inspiration from an array of musical influences - this body of work is set to become a resounding testament to the boundless talent within the Land of the Brave&#039;s rap community.The driving force behind this ambitious undertaking, Andreas is known for his uncanny knack for identifying unique voices and creative energies. “I am a hip-hop enthusiast who wants to showcase Namibian hip-hop, to practice the power of collaboration and to demonstrate the impact that hip-hop has,” he said. Defying conventionThe featured artists, a diverse assembly of both seasoned veterans and emerging rappers, have united their creative forces to conjure an auditory experience that defies convention. “The idea is to create awareness and shine a spotlight on emerging rap talent and, at the same time, celebrate our established rappers, hence this body of work features veterans like Jericho, Mappz and J Black,” Andreas said. He added that by featuring an ensemble cast of both well-established artists and burgeoning luminaries, &#039;Project 23&#039; will foster an environment where mentorship and collaboration flourish organically, transcending egos and hierarchies. Event details The official launch of &#039;Project 23&#039; is slated for next Saturday, 19 August, at The Village Garden in Eros from 14:00 to 17:00. The event promises a dynamic listening session that will immerse attendees in the intricate sonic tapestry of the mixtape. “Subsequent to this auditory sojourn, a public discourse will provide a glimpse into the creative process, the collaborative ethos and the profound significance of unity within the realm of art, especially within Namibian hip-hop,” Andreas said.Tickets to the launch are available from the executive producer for N$100 each, while the project is set to be made available on streaming platforms on Wednesday, 23 August.
