Prophets Of Da City

Prophets of Da City (POC) is a hip hop crew from Cape Town, South Africa. They are composed of about eight members, though the exact membership fluctuates frequently; these include Ishmael Morabe (vocals), Mark Heuvel (dance), Shaheen Ariefdien, Ramone and DJ Ready D. Their style uses elements of hip hop music, reggae and traditional African rhythms. Their albums include Our World (1990), Boom Style (1992), Age of Truth (1993), Phunk Phlow (1994), Universal Souljaz (1995), and Ghetto Code (1997). They are currently signed under the independent record label Ghetto Ruff. The group raps mostly in English and on occasions in Afrikaans, a language that is predominantly spoken by the white and Cape Coloured minorities of South Africa.
==Links to Peel==
Peel seemed to have discovered the group in late 1994 and may have heard from them via Andy Kershaw, who used to play the ensemble's material. In fact Prophets Of Da City did both sessions for Peel and Kershaw in 1995, but by the end of the 90's, both DJ's seemed to have lost interest in them.
