HHP rehearsing hard for Bushfire

MBABANE – South African renowned hip hop artist Hip Hop Pantsula aka HHP is rehearsing hard these days.
This is because he is planning to put up an unforgettable show this Saturday during the Bushfire Festival of Arts at House on Fire.
Speaking through his personal assistant Ayanda Tsambo, he said the fact that he would be performing in Swaziland for the very first time was really a ‘big deal’ for him.
He said he would bring his entourage that includes his band, deejay and dancers.
“It’s been a long time coming and he has planned to rock Swaziland in a big way. You can expect him to perform tracks he is well-known for,” said Tsambo.
HHP is also well known for his energetic moves on stage despite his large figure.
In fact he was one of the hot favourites on SABC Two’s ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ show. Furthermore, the artist made history at the SAMA awards last year when he won an award for Best Rap Album and Best Male Artist.
