‘It’s Been A Long Time Coming,’ Youngsta On Representing Colored Community

‘It’s Been A Long Time Coming,’ Youngsta On Representing Colored Community! Youngsta is from Cape Town in a neighborhood where there are only colored people. This is because of the segregation implemented during the time of Apartheid.

“It’s been in the pipeline, that I’ve always wanted to represent and be an ambassador for the coloured community, and specifically in Cape Town,” said Youngsta. According to Youngsta, the colored community had no representation, no one to tell their stories and so he picked up the mic and told them because he knew them.

“The Cape Flats – your predominantly coloured areas where there is literally not a single white or black person there, it’s just coloured people. And I saw these places didn’t really have a voice, these places had no representation. Besides the local club rappers, they didn’t really have a flag-bearer. And when I saw this I was like ‘what’s gonna happen to these people’s stories?” said Youngsta.
