Rawgland Timeline
Front Yard Ciphers
A group of youngsters would gather in the front yard of the founder’s yard, with a Bluetooth speaker exchanging freestyles and testing each other’s skill.
Friday Sessions
Friday afternoons were dedicated to large speakers in front of the garage and some old microphones with long wires while youngsters threw rhymes over some crazy beats.
Mix Tapes & Gigs
We started creating mixtapes with Kookfood Music when the idea fully developed to create Rawgland as an alternative label. Gigs here and there to promote ourselves and introduce Rawgland.
Registration
Finally, all pieces were in place and was ready for the move. Rawgland was registered as a company with the DTI (now, CIPC) and made its first real foundation in Pretoria North.
9 Years Of Experience In Entertainment Business
From a simple street cipher on the corners of Kempton Park, through the parks and later at home in the yard. The place become our music home and Rawgland emerged.
