In March 2000, one of the most proliffic underground crews Ground Works, was given an opportunity to host a Hip-Hop show (appropriately called the "Hotbox") over UCT-airwaves. Wow, you could here MC from all over shredding each other with battle rhymes, catch local productions, laugh for the humour of presenters and be informed about just about-everything you needed to know about park jams, shows, graff-writers benches and whatnot. Its got a huge following too, and currently "X the 24th Letter" from Archetypes are running processions.

Once you enter the UCT cafeteria you can hear the crescendo of echoing voices and laughs which kinda gives you the "Full Monty" of student-vibes... and carefully tucked away in the corner, you find UCT radio. With graffiti on their walls, a flyer rack with every possible event from Cape Town to Cairo and happy, smiley and (I have to say helpful) faces you want to almost hang-around the premisses longer then you need to. But then you remember a previous invitation from one of the other students inviting you to the roof of the Chemistry building.... Aha! A pleasure to visit!
