MeccaMind is a 21-year-old artist based in Cape Town. Having found inspiration through Outkast, A Tribe Called Quest, Erykah Badu and the whole Soulection movement, it is evident in the beat selection and cadence on MeccaMind’s songs.
“Sunny” is the first single from the upcoming mixtape called “LET THE KIDZ PLAY“, and was inspired by being young, unapologetic, creative and free, capturing the essence of youth. This care-freeness is evident in the move away from MeccaMind’s older more melodic songs. “Sunny” is rooted in collaboration, the name was inspired by a friend of MeccaMind’s, Sundog, who painted the accompanying artwork and is produced by 16-year-old Oluh. The music video was done by Vahid Skippy Davids, who dissected the lyrics and created a love story out of the hook that reminisces about a love interest and how it quickly it can turn sour.
“Let The Kidz Play” is a space and platform for overlooked creatives who haven’t been given a chance to “play” due to gatekeeping, and the lack of accessible opportunities or general layers of bureaucracy within the industry. MeccaMind hosts events in Cape Town in collaboration with Vision TV to provide the necessary spark to push this growth. Sunny is the first in a series of things to come for “Let The Kidz Play”.
