So it is what it is. It had already hit 6pm before the Monument shots were all done and we were behind schedule. A few more snaps with fans and friendly faces passing through and it was off to the next and penultimate shoot location for the day, before the grand finale. Trap Food House. A little gem on a corner of Waterloo street. By the time they wrapped the final shots, I jumped inside the shop just as the chefs were serving up the boxes.
Simba passed me mine, I handed my share but he refused. Say less. I grabbed the box, dapped everyone up and left to get an hour or so to refresh at the hotel, detouring at the boss-man shop to grab a bottle of water and a red-bull.
We needed our energy up for the night ahead. I pulled up, entered the code and smashed the ring button. Little did we know…Elevator was out. Stairs it was. As I climbed, a familiar face met me halfway, Johno of the increasingly popular YouTube channel RIDE music , documenting the stories and happenings of the scene. We entered the penthouse and it was dark, buzzing and the speakers thumping, everyone dressed to a T, tables full of bottles lining the ceiling to floor windows, a pool table littered with red-cups and a balcony amongst the lit-up concrete jungle landscape.
He arrived shortly after me and got to shooting the party scene for the video pretty quickly, running through the track two or three times as we slowly became more waved. Despite having yet to scratch the surface of his career, the support, locally and nationally seems to be there. Before I even had a song out, we were doing label meetings. I was recording a song a year. It showed me the amount of work you have to put in to get there. Jungle night at Tup Tup Palace.
The spot to be at for those A-listers that do come through the city. There were queues either side of the entrance hemming the pavements. For the final time today, Simba pulled up in convoy, this time in a matte black G-Wagon, right outside the entrance. What ensued was a frenzy of fans, club-goers and crew, blocking traffic, taking selfies, fixated on the hysteria.
The hype was contagious and fans rushed up to the car windows to say hello and grab a picture. He did so and after another 30 minutes of loitering, selfies and greetings, past the due-stage time, it was time to head inside. The club was dimly lit, with mosaic lavish Eastern-style interior, across multiple levels.
We headed to the VIP section, flashed our wristbands and battled our way straight to the bar. Just after 1am, Simba hit the stage. Seemingly out of nowhere, the beat dropped, he appeared, hooded up in his camo jacket, ring lights and cameras swarming behind.
