He breathed new life into a scene that thought that it had seen everything and he took no prisoners. Starting out by rapping for a burger and a beer over ten years ago, Jack Parow has come a long way. Since then he has released Platinum and Gold selling albums, toured the world, opened for Snoop Lion and Eminem, hung out with the guys from Top Gear, starred in a movie (Babalas), had the first Afrikaans Number 1 song (Hos Tokolosh with Gazelle) on 5FM’s Top 40, released his own comic book and has done a thousand other cool things. Parow’s music video, Cooler as Ekke, hit over 3 million views today, which makes it the most watched Afrikaans music video on YouTube, based on some homework. “COOLER AS EKKE JUST HIT 3 MILLION ON THE YOUTUBES!! Most watched AFRIKAANS video in HISTORY!! You guys are so fkn cool man… Really… Dankie for all the love. You guys are next-level!!”, says Jack Parow. He didn’t get ahead by sitting on his behind.
