Prophets of Da City - Never Again

  • 14 years ago
Prophets of Da City (POC) is a hip hop crew from Cape Town, South Africa. They were the first band on The Word's last season. The first line in the song is "Finally, a Black President..." which was probably a jibe at the fact there's never going to be one. We all know different now in 2010. The world has turned a page on racism to an extent.

The group are composed of about eight members, though the exact membership fluctuates frequently; these include Ishmael Morabe (vocals), Mark Heuvel (dance), Shaheen Ariefdien, Ramone and DJ Ready D. Their style uses elements of hip hop music, reggae and traditional African rhythms. Their albums include Our World (1990), Boom Style (1992), Age of Truth (1993), Phunk Phlow (1994), Universal Souljaz (1995), and Ghetto Code (1997). They are currently signed under the independent record label Ghetto Ruff.
