Manqoba Red Bull Studio Session Pt 2

Pioneer Unit Records and Kool Out Entertainment in association with Red Bull Studios celebrated their joint birthdays by hosting a series of open mic competitions. One emcee was chosen from each of four open mic sessions that were held in four different hoods in Cape Tow (Kuils River, Phillipi, Khayelitsha and Guguletu) in May 2010.

The winners of each open mic session were invited to compete at a final which was part of the KOL Presents: Pioneer Unit All Stars event at Zula Sound Bar on Long Street that featured Ben Sharpa, Driemanskap and Jaak.

Manqoba won the final competition, narrowly defeating Garlic Brown, Lex Luthor and Nicotine Lung. The winner was decided by crowd reaction but, despite great performances by all four finalists, Manqoba’s punchlines and high energy performance sealed the victory for the Khayelitsha representative.

Manqoba’s prize was a recording session at Red Bull Studios where he will make an EP that will be digitally released by Pioneer Unit.
