Massive Turn (formerly known as Massive Ten until late 2010) is a collective of powerful MC’s representing the M.F.U hood (Mfuleni). Blessed with an angelic voice of the young and gifted vocalist by the name of C-phe who makes an eleventh member of the Massive family. Massive Turn was discovered in February of 2008, and the aim was to hustle, break stereotypes and make good music (bringing back the essence of hip hop) and also representing the MFU hood to the fullest.

The main idea is to show the young up and coming MC’s that you don’t need major labels to be able to put work out there and push a couple of units. Its all about planning, strategizing and making connections with the right people and taking actions towards your plans. As a result of the different backgrounds the clique is very diverse this makes their sound very fresh and unique from what has been heard on the streets you can also check the click out their video on Youtube for proof to this. They are not only good on wax, you must see their stage presence and how they rip mics stealing shows and setting a standard not many can ever reach. These Mc’s are a collective of different ethnic groups which is why you’ll hear tracks ranging from English, Spaza (Xhosa) and Tswana which comes out dope when mixed together. The crew confidently says this is what hip hop needs, unity not segregate just because you spit in a different language.

Massive Turn has the whole package and is coming with the freshest sound that Cape Town has yet to see. The crew consists of Major aka The Hustler, Shapzin, Bon Tame, Checkmate, Virra, Dotcom, Kay-Otic, Mbazumkati, Tuboy Tulz, C-phe and Principles who’s also the crew’s producer. The crew’s track called Take Over has been played on Bush radio’s show called the Headwarmerz. You can catch the crew ripping mics at All NY’s in Gugulethu or you can listen to some of the crew’s tracks on
