Combining the thrills of motor sport, including quarter-mile drags, sound-offs, show-and-shine car club displays and a bikini carwash with a Hip Hop extravaganza that includes all the elements of the culture is the novel idea of ULTIMATE ELEMENTS 5, a new collective in the Mother City who have recently held the first instalment of The Ultimate Hip Hop Jam Session at Killarney.
This Saturday, 14th November 2009 will see the second instalment of their event called Hip Hop Jam Sessions Vol. II vs. Car Wars Episode 4 to be held at the Killarney Race Track near Milnerton.
Ultimate Elements 5 was founded by Celeste Mitchell who was later joined by Rowena Plaatjies to assist her in setting up the first Hip Hop Jam Session at Killarney. Rowena has since become Celeste’s right-hand lady and a vital cog in the smooth running of this young and dynamic organisation.
Though run by these two very astute ladies, Ultimate Elements 5 is a collective that draws on the support, enthusiasm and expertise of the likeminded people that share their vision.
This vision is to connect up and coming Hip Hop artists involved in the different elements, i.e. Emcee’s, B-boys/B-girls, Turntabilists, Beatboxers and Graffiti Artists with the right people within the right forums on the right platforms in such a way that they can gain the most benefit from their talents.
Throwing their weight behind the event are the likes of Cape Town’s newly crowned Battle Champ MC COLE, SUBURBAN MENACE, DJ DOGG, DJ EARL SCRATCH, GRAND ALLIANCE, NSC, DRC, YUNIQUE DACHANELL, HANDBREAK TURN, UBUNTU and many more.
Besides those who have made or are busy making their mark in Cape Town’s Hip Hop circles, there will be a host of young new artists and exponents of the culture who will be showcasing their talents to such a large crowd for the first time in their lives.
Celeste Mitchell constantly reminds us that she wants to make sure that those young artists and performers are not only noticed by the right people but that they are also properly guided by those who are already established in the business as the pitfalls are many.
Besides the entertainment that will be catered for by U.E.5, Killarney is after all a race track and the petrolheads amongst us will feel like kids that were let loose in a candy store.
Car Wars Episode 4 will have it all and the smell and sound of screeching rubber, the sound of roaring engines, the gleam from highly polished automobile works of art and the stomach wrenching bass from massive I.C.E. (In Car Entertainment systems) will see many a grown man (and woman) start calculating what the next upgrade to their own vehicles will cost.
To any real motoring enthusiast however, the real rush comes from the quarter mile races and there will be no shortage of competitors. In fact entries will be limited to 200 cars only.
The whole event is sanctioned by the WPMC and MSA, so competitors and spectators can be assured that safety measures will be of the highest standard.
Now it is just for me to wiggle my way out of a few other appointments, then www.Bruinou.com will definitely be representing at Killarney on Saturday.
