4 Lucky winners from Kenya got the chance to meet rapper J-Cole in Johannesburg, South Africa even as they were accorded VIP treatment at the Castle Lite Unlocks J-Cole concert held at TicketPro Dome.

The winners were selected via an online campaign that was run by Castle Lite Kenya. The campaign needed entrants to submit 20 second videos of themselves rapping to their favorite J-Cole song.

The rapper brought his classic hit Dreams to life as he captivated more than 20,000 of his fans with his stage presence and charisma.

For the night the Love Yourz hip hop sensation wowed concert goers that had waited with bated breath to see him live since the big announcement of his coming in March.

Their eagerness and excitement was tangible as they danced along and sang along with the self-acclaimed king of modern hip-hop.

The American rapper, arguably among the best in the rap game, had fans in frenzy as he belted out hit after hit showcasing his gift for poetic lyrics and beats.

Here are the songs the winners rapped to and what they had to say of the event.
