BIOGRAPHY OF A HIP HOP CREW:
THE P-JOURNALS 2000

P-Side is the name adopted by a group of young men who reside in a suburb of GABORONE, BOTSWANA called PARTIAL. The group name then intimately became linked with the geographical location that the group members found themselves in, and thus was born P-SIDE. The process described above happened in 1994 and was borne out of a love for their music, especially Rap/Hip Hop. At the time of the group's formation, hip-hop was at its infant stage in Botswana and not that many people were into it. 

Six years later there is a buzz on about the music scence in this country, more especially among the youth. The popularity of this genre of music is fast replacing R&B, Kwaito and House music among the Botswana population. Meanwhile, the P-Side has grown in popularity so much so that residents from outside the geographical limitations of Partial have opted to join this hip hop collective to work on the first official P-Side project.


The founding members of P-Side are the leaders of the group, Sidney "DJ Sid" Baitsile and Carl Lediretse to name two. Presley Metshe, a member of the popular rap group Third Mind has joined the group as producer.  Additional group management and engineering crew are Goof, Thabo, Ismael and Clement (P-Side Management). A detailed ling will follow along with pictures.


The P-Side allstar cast of lyricists is essentially 10 different groups whose members often overlap or act as solo artists. These pages are still under construction....it is a mammoth task so please bear with us while the webmaster prepares pictures and biographies of each of these groups. These are 10 webpages that will satisfy recent queries in the guestbook.  Also the P-Stable page will be undergoing a major change and the layout will be completely different to include 2 more groups: MAC-O-TEES and LIL' CYPRESS.
