In their hometown of Dallas, TX, the band filled American Airlines Center’s 18,000 seats, while thousands of other concert-goers were not able to enter, because the venue had reached maximum capacity.

LINK FM GOES TO 'DA STREETZ'

A little while ago, Walter and his crew took Christian hiphop to the streets to raise awareness and speak positively over the lives of the youth. Here’s a little report back from Walter:

Elementz of the Kulture
We made our first stop out in Mbekweni on the 17/01/09, a Township just outside Mdantsane, we had a turn out of over 60 youth out in the Street listening to some poetry & Hip Hop, and of course some R&B. The performances were by: The Reliable Source ( Hip Hop Youthology Co-host on Link Fm), Tobzed (Christian Rapper from PE), Nelly (Poet from East London), Asanda (Poet from King William’s Town), Siyanda (R&B Artist/Producer from Mbekweni) & Walter ( Poet/Hip Hop Youthology & Afternoon Drive host on Link Fm). The best news is that a lot of youth is opening up to Christian Hip Hop, quite a number from the audience gave their lives to the Lord on that Afternoon. Elementz of the Kulture will be making a turn in your vicinity soon….watch the space. God moves in Hip Hop these days!!

SA IDOLS' CAMERON: "I'm a Jesus boy"

Before performing his energetic rendition of Tree 63’s “Treasure”, Cameron Bruce announced to a packed auditorium and a national television network… “I’m a Christian boy, and that’s what this song means to me”.

While the judges weren’t particularly thrilled with Cameron’s performance, your vote is the one that counts. If you missed the performance last night, catch the Power Hour between 12 and 1 to not only hear the song, but also to listen as Mark chats to Cameron about his journey on Idols, so far.
