Budding artists to live their musical dreams as Lift as You Rise comes to a close
JOBURG – Red Bull & Tall Racks Records announce Top 11 artists in the "Lift as You Rise" Project.
After weeks of deliberating over thousands of entries, Red Bull Music and Tall Racks Records have chosen 11 aspiring artists who will go into the Red Bull Music Recording Studios in Cape Town to record their songs with the Tall Racks Records artists as part of the Lift as You Rise project.
Made up of unstoppable forces Nasty C, Tellaman, Gemini Major, Rowlene, Lastee and Zino D, the project saw the artists come together to produce multiple open tracks. These tracks incorporated verses from the collective artists, excluding 16 bars that allowed Africa’s up and coming artists to add their verses and subsequently completing the tracks.
The 11 artists that will be living their musical dream are Deekay Did It (Pietermaritzburg), Hanna (Cape Town), KDaVine (Pietermaritzburg), Msimisis (Swaziland), J-Reagz (Cape Town), Tembisile (Cape Town), Priscilla (Botswana), The Real Barry Lane (Nigeria), Thato Jessica (Johannesburg), Jay Hood(Pretoria), and Flow Jones Jnr (Johannesburg).
The selected artists now get a chance to complete their track with Tall Racks Records artists and its affiliates. These tracks will be released to the public soon after. The winners will kick off their time in Cape Town at the Red Bull Cape Town Circuit main event, followed by the official after party at Shimmy’s where their collaborators will take to the stage.
