The Blaqart_Marro Experiment - Shrooms

Yahkeem Ben Israel is a Cultural Hip Hop artist, South African Hip Hop Award winner 2013 an activist born and raised in the streets of Port Elizabeth. He is a last born of a family of three. Growing up he had no exceptional abilities that could set him apart from typical kids in the township in fact he mastered none of these ghetto games that could exalt one to a status of a hero in the hood. This disadvantage in later years would prove an advantage as he spent most of his life creating images in his head, reading and cultivating his insight.
It was very late in his adult life that Yahkeem started taking music serious and perusing it as a career. He started rapping with one of Eastern Cape most celebrated rap Trio Khululekani; this group opened a lot of doors not only for the group members but for the entire Eastern Cape Hip Hop. Amongst their achievements is releasing a self- titled EP, being the first rap group to be interviewed and their music aired in Mhlobo Wenene FM breakfast show which was the hosted by Sizwe Slyso Saliso, and toured with Mhlobo Wenene on woman’s month anti women abuse campaign in The Eastern Cape College among other achievements. Due to individual explorations the group had to dissolve this vacuum set a platform for The Mastabilda as he is affectionately known to his supporters to explore music as a soloist.
It was in 2009 that his debut album was released entitled The Spirit Level this 14 track album was distributed for free digitally and by hand and can still be downloaded at http://www.reverbnation.com/TheMastabilda . The spirit level although recorded in a rudimental bedroom set up shook South Africa in a unique way and launched him as a national player in the industry. It was launched on Jaivah Mzantsi hosted by Luckeez Mfowethu at Mhlobo Wenene FM One hour of performances, interviews and interactions with the listeners. Over 200 CD’s were distributed nationally and over 100 downloads were captured on sendspace. This album reached abroad getting play listed in UK and Israel respectively. It was also reviewed on Hype magazine, a review that caused traffic on social networks.
