PETALING JAYA, Sept 20 — Three months ago, many questioned whether the 1990s rap group 4U2C still had the energy to deliver a powerful concert. But it proved them wrong.
The group made a strong comeback at the “WE 4U2C Live In Concert” with a high-energy performance, reviving the nostalgic ‘flava’ of 90s rap.
With nearly 4,000 fans packing the Ideal Live Arena here last Monday, 4U2C — whose members are famed for the trademark compact discs that dangled from their necks — went all out to “bring back da 90s flava”.
In their first show after nearly three decades out of the spotlight, group members Datuk AC Mizal, Aren, Yanz, Rinz, Lanz and Charlie proved that their vocals remain as powerful as ever.
Opening the show with the songs ‘Sini Go Sana No’, ‘Dynamite’ and ‘Hip Hop Tip Top’, 4U2C drew cheers from their fans who had long awaited their return to the stage.
Pleasantly surprised at the audience’s overwhelming response, AC, whose real name is Mizal Zaini, expressed his gratitude to them. He also joked that their fans did not “back them up” when 4U2C was “attacked” by netizens on social media.
“For all 4U2C fans, thank you for coming even though you didn’t ‘back us up’ when our haters criticised us,” he said.
4U2C performed 18 songs, including their hits ‘Fiona’, ‘Suara Asia’, ‘2BD#1’, ‘Video Game’ and ‘I Miss You’, during their two-hour performance, amplified by mega-scale audio and lighting systems and LED screen displays.
There were also performances by other popular groups from the 90s era, namely Ms Teen, A To Z and Res2, belting out their evergreen hits such as ‘Kembalilah Kasih’, ‘Itik Gembo Gembo’, ‘Darjat’ and ‘Kepastian’. The concert drew to a close with 4U2C’s iconic number ‘Kami Rappers’.
AC, meanwhile, announced that 4U2C had received an invitation to perform in Singapore which, he said, was a surprise even for the group members themselves.
He, however, added no decision has been made as each member has individual commitments, and that they would need to discuss the matter first. — Bernama
