Introducing SA Guru Group Duo The TeMple
Cousins Kenny Mlambo and Jacky Mopedi are The TeMple– the hip-hop outgrowth of the Guru Group creative company based in South Africa.
<p>MC duo <strong><a href="http://thetemplesa.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">The TeMple</a></strong> are ring-leading a creative renaissance in South Africa. Their union of fashion and hip-hop in the raw, if all comes to fruition, brings to mind what <strong>Odd Future</strong> did for LA. Originally from Potchefstroom, Sandton-based South African photographers/designers <strong>Kenny Mlambo</strong> and <strong>Jacky Mopedi</strong> joined forces in launching creative company <strong><a href="http://theegurugroup.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">The Guru Group</a></strong>. Beginning with fashion and photography, the artistic entrepreneur cousins are adding beats and rhymes to the Guru umbrella. Initial offering "NTSANGO" is a gritty ode to herb. Follow-up single "Loxion Jazz" is a study on the path of music throughout the diaspora —a trumpet-backed exploration of South African jazz and township lifestyle. On the heels of two eclectic pillars, the pair will officially introduce themselves and the Guru name to South African hip-hop with their upcoming <em>Enter The Temple</em> mixtape.
