HeyPapaLegend Studios

So recently we wrote the chorus hook for British Rap/Grime group ‘Roll Deep’.  This is a huge thing for us because as much as we love writing pop songs for labels overseas its really a pleasure to write something for a group such as this who are not only credible and hip, they are also popular in the mainstream.  For example,  the group got their first UK number 1 single with the song “Good Times” in May 2010 and the group’s second UK number 1 single was “Green Light” in August 2010. Their next single was “Take Control”, featuringR&B singer Alesha Dixon, which charted at number 29 on November 7 2010.  The track that we wrote with them is going to be released as one of their singles and they are in the process of shooting the music video.

People say “the industry is in Jo’burg”.

Well, us Capetonians always try to defend the mother city by saying “but the creative people are here” and  “look at the mountain!”…well, anyone who lives in Cape Town and speaks any truth will tell you that although the mountain is beautiful, sometime the mines do call.

The past year and a bit has been absolutely amazing here at HeyPapaLegend Cape Town and we’ve had the pleasure of working with some amazingly creative and talented people…but…its time to flex our biceps, crack our knuckles and move into the heart of “the industry”.  Jo’burg (or as my good friend, Jody “the five star”, from The Rudimentals calls it…”Sin City”) here we come.

So we’re opening up HeyPapaLegend Sound Jo’burg.  We couldn’t be doing it without the help of the amazing and super jacked-up people at Deepend Post, as they’ve lent us their support and out of all the recording studios they could’ve partnered with…they chose us.  Sweet!

This is not us saying goodbye to Cape Town, we have a philosophy of one studio 2 locations, and to all our current 021 clients and loved ones, it might appear that we are almost in two places at once.  Have we been cloned?  Have we invented teleportation or time travel? Naaa…Its just how we roll!  Because our strength lies in our collective talents pooled together and we’d never break that up.

Cheers,

Ross

We’d like to welcome you to our new website!

We’ve spent some time working closely with Refresh Creative Media in redesigning our Corporate Identity and building a new website which reflects the look and feel we’re going for.

What are we going for?…

Old school, old school, old school!  We’ve put together an image that reflects the people that work here and since we’ve got such vast differences in taste and style we’ve tried to marry the ‘vintage’ to the ‘modern’…

And the result?…

What you see before your eyes!

Please enjoy our website and don’t forgot to peruse our Showreel to see what kind of work we do at HeyPapaLegend.
