Willow Smith is only ten years old and already has a single that is flying high on the music charts. You might think she is a precocious brat, but you have to hand it to her. Oozing confidence she seems to be one of those very young stars that seem to have the potential that will take her from strength to strength.

You might wonder who on earth Willow Smith is – she is the daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett- Smith.

She made quite an impression with her first song, “Whip My Hair” and this was a huge success. With parents that are as ambitious and talented as hers it is not surprising that she is off to an excellent start in her music career.”Whip My Hair” has reached eleventh place on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making her the youngest preteen ever to reach this high so early in her career.

Popular and in great demand, Willow has appeared on many chat shows and also been invited to many red carpet events.

Willow has also appeared on film partaking in bit-parts, and has been compared to her idol and role-model Rihanna whose unusual fashion trends and style she mimics.

J-Z has taken her under his wing, and believes that this starlet will grow from strength to strength.

With crude and bombastic lyrics, you have to hand it to the man: Jack Parow has put Afrikaans Rap on the map.He is brazen and brash and often offends, but there are times when his lyrics will make you smile. His following is strong and once you have recovered from the original shock tactics, you might even begin to like some of his unusual music.

He has built up a strong following, though, and it seems as if this rap artist is here to stay.

A rehash of Jack Sparrow from “The Pirates Of The Carribbean” fame, Jack has claimed this name and considers himself Jack Parow of the Caravan Park.

There are other Afrikaans rappers. They are Waddy Jones, Jitsvinger, Dokter and Brasse van die Kaap. You have to hand it to these musicians; rapping is tough enough in English, but to rap in Afrikaans takes enormous sill and a whole lot of talent.

Jack Parow looks up to the rapping skills of Eminem but was already rapping before Eminem’s heydey.

Pure Afrikaans in flavour, Jack Parow is a lot different to the other Afrikaans rappers who tend to be a little more Anlicised.Jack Parow
has been rapping since 2000 in English but in 2004 he decided to start rapping in Afrikaans.
