'Vaderfiguur' (Father-figure) is the title of Cape Town based Afrikaans hip-hop artist Niko10Long's debut music video. The narrative of the video tells the story of Nico10long, a dispossessed youth from the township Wesbank/Delft
struggling against the high crime rate, substandard schooling and
unemployment on the Cape Flats while trying to raise his three-year
daughter, Allevia.
Niko10Long's lyrics reflect on his life experiences and the reality of
injustice and social ills on the Cape Flats in poetic Afrikaans,
giving a unique view into a world that often remains unseen unless as
a crime focus in news bulletins. This is particularly evident in his
debut music video for the track, Vaderfiguur, in which he raps
poetically about the daily reality of an unemployed father raising his
daughter. Niko10Long brings forth a narrative mix of realism and
storytelling through MC-ing (rap), conscious street style, teaching
and "edutainment" (entertaining education) of social issues that
people in the townships of Cape Town encounter daily.
