After their successful launch of their debut album”Smart Casual”,
Tykoon Suit bring you their first music video “Throw the bones”,
which was shot at The Bang Bang club in Loop st.
For those not in the know, Tykoon Suit are a 3 piece Hip Hop outfit from Cape Town ,consisting of two rappers and 1 DJ.
The band members are Digger Barnes aka Neon Don (Denver Turner) and Bang Bang (Byron Abrahams) as the MC's and Benny Wong (Andre Swanepoel) Beatmaking and Djing. The music can best be described as escapist blue collar Hip Hop with Funk and Jazz influences, with a unique urban flavor.
The band got together 4 years ago, after the split of SA funk band Moodphase5ive, in which Andre Swanepoel was the manager, and Denver Turner the MC. At the time Andre was releasing tracks as MR MO on African Dope records, Denver and he decided to collaborate, , which eventually became the first Tykoon Suit single:
Gigolo Lounge on Cape of Good Dope ( cat no ADOPECD007 ).
Not long after Byron was introduced to Andre by Denver and Tykoon Suit were born.
Their debut album “Smart Casual” ( cat no BASH001 ) was released on the 7th of July in Cape Town, and was reviewed as album of the month in both GQ and Blunt magazine South Africa respectively.
They have performed in Cape Town and Johannesburg over the last 3 years as Tykoon Suit.
The album is available for download at:
The video” Throw the bones” is available for viewing on DSTV
and MTV base, and www.youtube.com
