Jack Parow - Afrikaans Rap - Cape Town

Twenty-eight years ago, Zan der Tyler was born in Parow, Cape Town. Today he is known as Jack Parow, original donker dodgy afrikaans rapper. Contrary to popular belief, his wild-fire success did not happen overnight. Jack started out rapping with crews from the Cape Flats and has been at it for nine years.

He studied to be a mechanic, but had to take jobs like packing fish in Cape Town harbour and allocated graves for the Cemetery Division of the Cape Town municipality to support his rap habit. Performing only for a beer and pizza soon changed, when his collaboration with Die Heuwels Fantasties on the track, Die Vraagstuk, put him in the limelight.

Jack Parow

Hallo, my name is Jack Parow.  I like Afrikaans.  I like rap.  But rap is boring and swamped with people who don’t know what they are doing.  I am here to show everyone how to do it right.

I like to make music with my friends.  I like drinking, dangerous cars, dangerous parties, dangerous cherries, braai and rugby.  My music makes you smile.  My music makes you cry.  My music makes you dance and my music makes you think.

 I grew up in the streets of Bellville and Parow and in the Wonderland games arcade in Tyger Valley.  I smoke Dunhill cigarettes and drink Wellington brandy.  I don’t like soccer all that much, because I don’t understand the rules. I’m busy learning them, so hopefully I’ll like it soon.  I don’t like people who don’t like Afrikaans.

My song "Die Vraagstuk" with Die Heuwels Fantasties explains me well, so listen to it.  My music is honest.  My name is Jack Parow, romantic Afrikaans super star rapper.  Kief kief.
