Thor Rixon - Fuk Bread






Holy smokes. This has to be one of the craziest music videos I've ever seen! That's dedication right there! Not only does Cape Town-based musician Thor Rixon want us to be healthy and change the world, he is also clearly very committed to his cause! This guy is like my new hero, how long was he growing that hair for? Yoh!  I wanna invite him over to my house for a sandwich. Oh wait...

Aside from a supremely epic music video, Fuk Bread itself is a brilliant funky little choon that contrasts between Rixon's mellow atmospheric socially conscious lyricism and cheeky eletronica dance breaks that allow for some sweet moves (as he demonstrates). After watching this video one usually lacks the words to express themselves immediately, but the message resonates doesn't it? Don't use the microwave. Use the oven instead!

Fuk Bread is the lead single from Thor Rixon's upcoming album, Songs From The Bath. Check him out on Soundcloud, as well as more kiff South African artists on the Naas music collective. And while we're talking about how kiff this guy his, check out this choon he produced for local Port Elizabeth MC, Push Push. This chick is mad dope, love her accent, authenticity, lyrical playfulness and attitude. She reminds me a bit of UK female MC Lady Sovereign, who has since faded into obscurity I think. Super duper fly, Jut Life is far from jut. Well, I don't like the chorus that much but besides that it's tasty mzansi flavour flave. Check out her Soundcloud page for more big tings!
