Siya ‘Slikour’ Metane is a musician and entrepreneur best known as one of the founding members of the record-breaking hip-hop group Skwatta Kamp. Told with signature humour, this memoir gives readers an all-access pass to the moments and the music that made the man, detailing the courage it took to overcome his self-doubt and to mould himself into a media maverick.
From small beginnings in the East Rand to gaining mainstream recognition and going solo, celebrity dating and breaking up the band, hitting rock bottom and rising up to make it as a digital media pioneer, Slikour takes us through the highs and lows of his journey to becoming a force to be reckoned with. He unpacks the energy that connected the dots that propelled the success of everyone he came into contact with.
Featuring never-known-before experiences with big names including Zola, Bonang Matheba and Kwesta as well as brands like KFC, Coca-Cola, Butan and Kaizer Chiefs, this is a candid look at what it takes to make it in the South African music and digital media scenes and what connection can achieve.
Say what you will and believe what you like, breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, but brunch will always be the favourite. Not just for the fact that it's not too early for chocolate croissants, but for the mimosas. Who do you know who doesn't appreciate a few bubbles with a dash of OJ? Probably no one.
Of course, bubbles aren't just for brunch time - no party, celebration, farewell, welcome, get-together, you name it, would be complete without chinking a few flutes together in cheers. Except when the party is outside somewhere, and you'd really rather not risk breaking those precious glasses. You could always use paper cups, of course, but... you're better than that. No, leave the paper for the recycle bin and keep it classy with our main deal of stainless steel picnic champagne flutes from Radiant.
Cheers, darling!
