Dru Hill in SA

R&B multi-platinum group Dru Hill will be performing at Coca Cola Dome (Johannesburg) on Saturday, 28

September 2013 for a Concert dubbed  “R&B Music Explosion” hosted by Label Monte.

Whats your views and expectations on this ancient team's coming performance?

Are you also wondering if they will be performing their old hits (because that's who we know Dru Hill to be) OR they probably have some new stock?

Do you think Dru Hill should try out the new music trend (e.g. Nicki Minaj music, Brandy and Chris Brown music? - and yes Brandy sucks on that track with Brown)?

Well we certainly don't know what to expect but will definitely be on that Golden Circle.

Grammy nominated Canadian R&B singer Tamia and American singer Carl Thomas are also set to perform in this show.
