Cape Town is set for the arrival of Russian hip-hop star Oxxxymiron. Marking his debut in South Africa, the January 2024 performance forms part of his world tour, “Beauty and Ugliness”.
Spanning six continents, the “Beauty and Ugliness” world tour is Oxxxymiron’s most ambitious set of live performances after 5 years of hiatus. The tour has already seen the rapper perform in major cities across Europe and America, with major stops including London, Paris, Berlin, Buenos Aires and New York. January 2024 will see him perform for the first time in South Africa as well as Asia and Australia.
This world tour is Oxxxymiron’s response to the widespread migration of Russian speakers globally. His performances offer a sense of home and community for those uprooted by recent events, and a glimpse into the experiences of peace-loving Russian speakers world-wide. Oxxxymiron is a highly versatile artist whose songs span the whole spectrum of hip-hop: poetic storytelling, conscious boom bap, aggressive trap and experimental spoken word.
The event, hosted by the Hearty Collective in Woodstock in early January, will feature works from the artist’s most recent album, interspersed with some of his well, and lesser-known, gems.
Date: Saturday, 6 January 2024
Time: 7pm to late
Location: Hearty Collective | 380 Albert Road, Woodstock, Cape Town
