What is Y-Not
Culture
Magazine???? Y-not
Culture is a youth urban lifestyle magazine that
focuses on showcasing the role players of youth
and individuals in there respected fields. Y-not
Culture is also committed to empowering the
youth, by letting them know that anything is
possible if you put your mind into it. The name Y-
not Culture was adopted from the statement "why
not??" when someone is being asked to do
something and responds by that question and
culture is for the aim that we want to build a
trend of go “gettas”, so culture overshadows this
whole concept

State theatre have being thee place
every Friday afternoon where the hip
hop community meet for years, even
built careers and many crews were
formed there.
In your own opinion do you think
State Theatre is still relevant like
before when cyphers happened all the
time and a dance battle would pop
out of nowhere?????
Lebo 'floet' Lubisi; Not anymore
dawg... I remember back in the days
when a cypher would just happen and
niggaz like Jay stash and BlackLez with
Nveigh throw punches and hard
battles, someday Tumi from Tumi and
the Volume showed up when he had
a show because he was impressed by
the Passion this kids had... Nowadays
they do it because its protocol, they
cypher cuz they know that err’ Friday
there are girls hanging around there...
These cyphers are cheap now!!
Thabiso Troubl Bonoko; Theatre
is dead bra
Swayzi Crayzi Baybi; I'd Love it if
those days came back !!!!!!!!!!! .... I
made my name at State ... Someone
Do Sum'n !!!!
Mafafo Tweezy DpHs; Well I
thNK Hip hop died in Cap city coz our
meeting plce was closed up maRa its
supa it will pop like thR olden
days#RebirthOFHipHopInCapCity
Resego Koee; Niggers can still
spark up the light ......if they do it
every Friday again. Plus State theatre
is open now...where the cyphers used
to be
Ronewa Randie Mutshinya ; Back
then it was so cool! Meet every Friday
and dance, rap,etc, regardless of who
you are. Now it's all about "swagg"...
Meeting up in places like that is not
good for my "swagg" some will say.
Votes that State
Theatre is no more
relevant:
Praise Khoza
Oratile Tetriz Mash
Boitumelo Ntlaba
Antony Sparks Marima

10 saying State Theatre is no more
relevant

How and when did the movement begin?
Well the movement started towards the end of May 2012, where we approached YDA
to fund us 2 start a marketing n
events company and we learned just
how we had to have a brand out
there that people loved and trusted
to be more credible and stand a
good chance to get the
funding...That's where we decided to
go for the T-shirts and brand them
with the company name.
What is the whole
concept behind Black Farmer?
Blackfarmer is all about us as black
people previously being
disadvantaged, working laboriously
to get a wage and now we have the
equal chances to tap into businesses
or even bargain top positions in multimillion rand companies...It‟s about reaping what
we previously sowed.
Are there any specific people who help push the brand?
Its jest us the co-owners (Sparx&Amo) pushing the admin and sales of It, but we do
also rely on word of mouth to get the word out there as our customers do love what we
offer and they do share it with their close friends and families, which creates a lot of
buzz for us and in turn more sales...
Bona they are making Batswana look Fashionable. In true Molemi style ‘’1without
da other will neva b on point’’, we made a stop In North West ko Tuang to talk
with Olebogeng’space-jeezy’ Lekwene and Amogelang ‘amo-smallz’ Mongale
about their label BLACK FARMER

December 2012 ◦ #IssueNo1
There are many other brands out there that have being on the market for a
while, they also being doing well over the years and have awards to prove it.
What would you say really separates the Black Farmer from the rest?
We distinguished by the fact that we still new and have nothing discrediting us as
yet, as we offer good quality tee's that people love and trust out there...We also
distinguished by the extra efforts we put in to ensure a smile with every customer
we deal with, @ times we even go to an extent of posting the T-shirts wherever the
customer is, @ an additional cost though...
What range of clothing does Black Farmer offer?
For now we are offering T-shirts as to the limited resources we have, in near future we bound to expand to cap
backs, hoodies etc. we all about what the youth want.
How can we get our hands on some Black Farmer clothing?
We working on cash on delivery, can
contact me Amo-smallz on 072 5362
801 on Facebook Amo-smallz Mongale
twitter @91Smallz or Olebogeng
Lekwene on 0787675184 and
Facebook.
What can we expect in the future? Any
other projects taking place?
We as #BlackFarmer are not just a
clothing line, we also wanna tap into
marketing& events sector, so we
spreading our focus and efforts towards
achieving that goal...
Success in one sentence?
We as #Blackfarmer believe that
Success is setting a milestone and
reaching it.

So how did it all begin? When did you start
djing?
Well I was 12 years old and I had had a friend (Hendrik) who told me that he actually makes music himself. I asked him if he could teach me, and so he gave me the basics. We kind of started a group with 2 other guys called "Sonik DNA", then those other two guys dropped out. But
that died out and ever since January of 2012 I've been doing it solo.
Has music always been what you wanted to do
in life or it is something that just came on your
path and suddenly you got interested?
Well I really had a deep love for music, and I
always wanted to do it. Then Hendrik came along,
and I seized the opportunity.
What gave you that initial push?
After about two and a half years, I took it really seriously. Finding out how the EDM industry works, I wanted to
be a part of it.
Did the Djing, Production, Promoting come 1st?
I fiddled around with software such as virtual Dj, but never properly did sets. In a professional view, production
came first.
What was the first event you ever played at/put on?
Just started recently with events, so it would be a house party "In the vill"
What's the best event you've played at/put on?
So far, it was "in the vill"
Funniest thing that ever happened at an event?
A guy tried to steal property, but the bouncers caught him
and gave him a real good beating, but it was really funny,
for me. *laugh
What was your first record you bought?
Sawgood - Ctrl ur brain (Calvertron Remix)
What computer deejay program did you first use?
To DJ I used Virtual DJ, but to produce I used FL Studio 7
What kind of equipment do you work with?
Anything that is setup for me, but I prefer cdj's to controllers and so on.
Out of all the tunes you have, which one 'never fails?'
Outside of Djing, this would have to be 'Big Bad Wolf
(Dada Life Remix)' everyone likes it, everyone I play it to.
A year ago we hardly knew who Tyron Woods I, but after being
featured on the Ultimix@6 hosted by Dj Fresh on 5fm, his being
making waves around the local Electro House Music scene .So we
decided to know the 16years old Dj/ producer.

December 2012 ◦ #IssueNo1
What's your favourite tune of all time?
This is a hard one, but I think either Dada Life - Rolling Stones T-Shirt or Calvertron - Raw 2 Da Floor (Lazy
Rich Remix)
When you play is this pre planned set?
I don't plan the whole thing but I do plan to play a few songs, not in a particular order though. Unless it's a radio
set like the Ultimix @ 6
Most people you ever played in front of?
I don't know *Laugh
What radio station first played your music?
2OV.fm in Cape town.
When all the partying is over how do you like to chill out?
I go home, and I watch Anime *Laugh, but seriously I do. Usually Naruto.
Since you still 16 years old, how do you
balance your school work and deejaying?
Well this is why I chose to do home-
schooling. It's much shorter than a
public school system; I do only what I
need to. So it's usually 3 hours of
school a day, altogether. This gives me
extra time for music.
So how is the scene in your eyes at the
moment? One thing you would change
about the current local music scene?
I love the EDM scene you know. I wouldn't really change it, but I would add on to the industry. Just, as I'm sure, other people do, who make record labels and individual musical companies. It all benefits to the system.
I’ve noticed you from Durban KZN, that part of the country is considered the capital of entertainment and
its overwhelmed by kawito, dance and tribal house deejays, why did you chose electro music?
Well, Electro house, speaks to me much more than anything else does. The people that have crossed my path
and who I have grown up with generally lead me or accompany me to where I am. It has taken me to Electro,
and I like it.
You recently did a mix for the Fresh Drive on 5fm, a show hosted by one of the top Djs in the world Dj
Fresh, and the mix was hugely accepted by the listeners. How was the feeling of star struck?
Ahh man, it was awesome. It really exposed me nicely. I think it has helped me a lot, and.. it made me feel very
excited to have stayed on track.. for four years.
Since the mix on fresh drive, were you approached by record labels or you prefer being an indie DJ?
No, I haven't been approached, but I have music, made by me, signed to labels overseas, France, Italy etc... I have contact with people in charge of record labels here in S.A as well.

How big is your vinyl collection? What do you think of CDJ's?
I don't have any Vinyl's, and for people that think vinyl's are for "Real DJ's", vinyl's are good, good dj's use
them, but there are good dj's with cdj's. Cdj's are just Vinyl's upgraded with technology. It's like from a Nokia
3310 to a smart phone nowadays. But, Everyone is entitled to their own opinion though.
Who is your favourite DJ?
Dada Life. They are the by far the most amazing for me. I love their music and there funny personalities.
Other DJs you rate?
Archie, Paul Makuta, Jakob Liedholm, Lazy Rich, Darth & Vader. These guys are all my favourites, mostly
underground.
So, Tyron, What is your favourite song from the past 5 years
Clavertron - Raw 2 Da Floor (Lazy Rich Remix) from 2010.
Favourite Lyrics?
In EDM this would be Rolling Stones T-Shirt. It's just so unmeaningful that it has humour to it *Laugh or it
would be the lyrics from Skylar Grey 'Room For Happiness' Produced by Kaskade.
What are your music predictions or 5 year plan of your
music?
I would really like to have gone on world tour, Get signed to
Spinnin' Records and DJ in Tommorowland.
What do you do outside of the electro music scene?
I Draw, Dance, and I make short films, Music Video's and
Documentaries, with my friends. We are building portfolio
currently.
What advice would you give to up and coming
DJs/Promoters?
Never Give up. It really does get tough sometimes.

O Hail
You were recently crowned THE KING OF LIMPOPO in the 1st SAHHA, how does it feel to receive such
recognition from a province that is so blossoming with talent?
It is an honour to be recognised in a platform of the SAHHA‟s calibre, we never expected that.
What are your in takes of the introduction of the SAHHA? What does it mean for hip hop?
I believe it‟s a gigantic initiative that recognises work done for the development of hip-hop; you will remember that in
South Africa we never had such a platform except for the Hype magazine awards.
Not so long ago another award ceremony was held in Limpopo, the Tshivenda Music Awards where we saw
Mizo Phyll walking away with the hip hop award at that event. How does this raise the bar for the hip hop
community in Limpopo?
This goes to show that it is high time hip-hop got its piece of the cake in the province, we have been working under a
lot of hardships where hip-hop was never given a chance now because of combined efforts from hip-hop heads, we
are claiming what is rights fully ours.
So how is the scene in your eyes at the moment? Hip Hop scene in Limpopo that is, since you are the
crowned KING.
We still have a lot of work to do, the recognition to me means we have to work even harder, Until we have a situation
where we will have artists performing in a music festival dedicated to hip-hop we will never rest we need to have a
situation where artist will get paid for doing shows unlike what is happening
now where we are been exploited by those who have the powers and
resources to host big events.
What was your first job in radio? Early influences?
I started as a manager and radio trainer for a narrowcasting radio station and
then became a radio producer, that‟s where I learned quite a wealth of
knowledge in radio and media in general.
What led you to a career in radio? Was there a defining moment that
made you realize "this is it"?
Initially I wanted to do sound engineering but as I grew up I kind of
developed the love for youth and community development and media was
the way to fulfil both the love for working with people and radio.
If you were just starting out in radio, knowing now, what you didn't
then, would you still do it?

Most definitely, one of my lectures once told me radio is the theatre of the mind and it is, even though I didn‟t
understand then it now makes sense to me.
You host a show called Trail Blazer, tell us about it?
Yooh, it‟s a hip-hop show on Sekhukhune community radio which airs every Saturday between six and nine in the
evening. On the show we play 100% African Hip-hop with a full two hours dedicated to Limpopo hip-hop and
specifically Sekhukhune hip-hop. We also host a variety of local artists for interviews and have tele-interviews with
National artist who can‟t make it to the in studio interview.
Where do you see the industry and Trail Blazer five years from now?
With Trailblazer I believe its growing and in five years‟ time even if it can no longer be me who is running it, it would
definitely be one of those big hip-hop shows in the country advocating for the development of Hip-hop in our rural area
and as for the industry, it is currently a time bomb waiting to explode, in five years‟ time we will be having our own
artist know all over Africa and the world and a consistent hip-hop revolution.
How do you feel about SKFM competing with Capricorn FM for listenership around your radar?
I believe it‟s a good and healthy competition it helps us to be on our toes at all times and event our listeners have a
variety of what to listen to.
What's your take on radio currently? Is it as good as six months ago, better or about the same?
There‟s not much difference as the past six months is just that now it‟s even more vibey and informative because we
grow on a daily basis.
If you were given a chance to join a national radio station, would you take the offer? And which station would
it be?
I would take the offer and I would go for Capricorn or Thobela fm.
Other Hip Hop radio DJs you rate? And what/why do you rate
them?
-C-LIVE : rate him 08 out of Ten because the guy is just too good
and he has changed that idea of saying national radio station are
only for international and national artists he gives artists a chance
to be heard whether big or small
-Siz and SCOOP: rate them 08 out of ten because their
combination is that one that redefines hip-hop radio they also are
creative when comes to the way they have packaged the show and
also for representing all levels of hip-hop
If you were to be given a chance to choose anyone to come
co-host with you on Trail Blazer. Who would it be and why that
person?
It has to be a lady by the name of HHDIVA from Elim in Limpopo,
she is not a radio presenter but a hip-hop artist and it‟s because
with my interactions with her I Can tell if she was to be given a
chance to host a hip-hop radio show anywhere it would definitely be

believe we all need take responsibility of our actions, Justice must prevail.
A lot of youngster want to pursue a career in being a radio jockey, what advice will you give them in one line?
School, school and more school, we need to equip ourselves first and the other thing is that people needs to do what
they love not because it sounds like it has fame.

Tranforming Lives with D33 Lanie
Save the Naxin by Dee Lanie It is sad to see how relationships are turning out to be these days. It is no longer about love
but all about benefits. Guys go around telling girls how much they ‘love’ them and girls
being emotional beings, just fall for it and things start to go wrong when a guy start
demanding sex, forgetting that the Bible stated that “sex before marriage is a sin”. It also
state in 1Corinthians 7:9 that
“But if you cannot contain yourself then go ahead and marry than burn with lust”, which is
way better than falling into sin all the time.
One thing girls should know is that once you give your all to the guy, you stay attached to
him, but it is not the same with him. He is not going to stick with you because you gave him
what he wanted, why would you think what he wanted from you, he won’t want from the
next girl? Face reality, Seek first the Kingdom of God and everything else shall be added
unto you. We are leaving in the last days, you need to make your ways right with God first,
that way it will put you in the right position of hearing Him. Sacrificing for a boyfriend is not
going to take you to Heaven and hell is so real.
Girls on the other hand have too much love for material things, any guy is accepted as long
as he is popular, has money, is from a rich family, has a car and many other stuff. Guys end
up hurt when they have made a lot of sacrifice and just get dumped out of nowhere, the
reason being that the girl got what she wanted and wants to enjoy it with the one she loves.
This causes confusion to guys and they end up trusting nobody because of the past
experience, which leads to them being heartbreakers and hurting the next girl that really
loves them, then they end up losing who they are meant to be with.
What’s with the rush, it is said that walking is way better than running. Didn’t God promise
that He shall add everything unto you if you seek first His Kingdom? He is not like a man, He
can never fail you. All you need to do is make Him the centre of it all, let your relationship
be like a triangle, you and your partner at the bottom, becoming one in God as you move
up. GOD is writing the best love story ever, just for YOU!! It’s only a matter of time, waiting
on His best timing. KEEP HIM FAITH!!

Continues…..
Sometimes in life we become so much in love that we would sacrifice anything for our partner.
One day there was a girl who was so in love with her boyfriend. He was her first love. Everything
seemed so right whenever she is with him but the sad part is, the guy did not really feel the same
way. You know they say love is like an elastic band held at both sides, when one leaves, it hurts
the other, so because the guy didn’t feel so much love for the girl just as the girl did, he started
cheating. The poor girl didn’t know and her love for the guy would grow fonder by the day. Then
there was a time when she had rumours that the guy was cheating and whenever she confronted
the guy about it, he would tell her that it is not true and that people just want to see them
separated. Because the girl loved him so much, she would fall for it. One day her boyfriend’s
closest friend told her about everything her boyfriend does behind her back, it was really sad. She
gave him a second chance, actually not a second chance because the guy kept on repeating the
same mistake over and over again. Then the last time she asked her boyfriend why he had been
cheating, he told her it is because she doesn’t want to sleep with him. The girl couldn’t change the
situation as she planned to stay pure until the time is right. The guy still continued on cheating to
a point where he made it obvious just to get back to the girl as she refused his request. The girl
got very upset and decided that she had had enough and now it’s time to quit. When a guy saw
that now she is keeping away, he tried to win her back but it was too late for that.
LESSON
Relationships are not all about sex. You can have a boyfriend/girlfriend and things work out well
without sleeping together. From the story, it shows that the girl loved her boyfriend so much but
she knew God has to come first, always. The bible speaks of sex before marriage being a sin, and
so don’t think if you can’t satisfy your boyfriend by not having sex with him, you are stupid,
always know that once you obey God, then everything else is being taken care of. You can try
please a person but he is not going to be the only one who will want to be pleased, and when you
start doing so, it means God comes second.
Want to know where it all ended? well the girl stopped doing things her own way and waited for
God’s best timing and during the course, she drew closer to God each day, as for the guy, pleading
for her love has become his daily song simply because he has now seen better future wife in her.
To all the girls, “a woman’s heart should be hidden in Christ that a man will seek Him(Christ)first
in order to find her” do not ever settle for less, you deserve better, if he is for you then he will wait
until it is the right time.
To all the guys, do not let diamond pass you by while busy collecting stones, “respect that like
your mother, protect her like your daughter and love her like your wife”.
Leaving everything to God and making Him the centre is the best policy.
ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT GOD IS WRITING THE BEST LOVE STORY FOR YOU!! TRUST
IN HIS BEST TIMING!!
