AFTER a protracted beef between rappers Cal_Vin and POY and their subsequent smoking of the peace pipe, Cal_Vin has roped his former nemesis for the second edition of his Made in Bulawayo concert.

Last year, the concert attracted a sizeable crowd and this year, the Jeki hit-maker is expecting more people.

POY is among performers at the concert to be held at Elite 400 on August 12. The others are ASAPH, Floppy X, Psychotek, MC Thorne, Kidd Psycho, Barbs, Benny Jones, gospel rapper T1nda and M.U.S.E.

Cal_Vin’s Kontrol Tribe record label rappers GTi and Mawiza have also been included as well as wheel-spinners DJs Liz, Dash, Schuster and Reggie Brown.

Cal _Vin said POY had been included in the line-up because of his talent.

“I’ve no beef with POY hence we included him for this concert,” said Cal_Vin.

That Luveve Boy, as Cal Vin is affectionately known, said the concert was being held to promote hip hop and as such he was paying all the artistes.

“The young guys that usually have to perform for free will be rewarded. It might not be a lot of money because I’m paying from my own pocket,” Cal_Vin told our sister paper B-Metro last week.

“The whole point of the concert is to grow hip-hop in the city and create excitement in the same way that festivals such as Shoko do in Harare.

“My travels, especially to Germany last year, inspired me because those people have a whole lot of festivals that actually pay the young artistes,” he said.
