If you are a Hip Hop Pantsula die-hard fan and have been wondering what happened to your idol, worry no more.

In what is set to be a major attraction concert, the talented and eloquent HHP will appear at the Lyric Theatre, Gold Reef City casino, on March 6 and 7, at 8pm.

Originally from Mafikeng, HHP, pictured, has taken Johannesburg by storm. Not only is he intelligent and eloquent, he is a brilliant rap artist who has done a lot for the genre.

He represents a group of young North West exponents whose charm lies in their eloquence and ability to wax lyrically in Setswana. This, against the backdrop of catchy old school sampling. This has captured a huge slice of the mature fan base.

When he performs, not only youngsters get down, but lots of mature music lovers tap to the beat.

He has also captured a few firsts. He won the Strictly Come Dancing reality show competition, hosted a press conference of seasoned scribes on his own while appearing at the Cape Town International Jazz festival, as well as impressed royally at the Posi+ive concert at Sun City, where he collaborated with Danny K and Inca in a memorable concerts.

HHP also has many awards under his belt.

For an amazing time with Jabba, bopping to Music and Lights, alongside curtain-raiser Obita, make your way to The Lyric.

This well-rounded artist and back-up band are a unique combination - a rock guitarist, a scratch DJ, a phenomenal vocalist.

The amazing blend of the band members is what makes Obita an unforgettable and truly original musical experience.

Tickets cost R75 at Computicket or at The Lyric.
