THE housemates got some professional help with their 'Stand Up Against Poverty' song on Wednesday evening when international reggae legends Jahseed from the hit group Bongo Maffin and Admiral, a South African-based DJ and musician, popped in for a quick jam session.
The Admiral and Jahseed have been DJ'ing together since 1997.
They play a mixture of old school and dancehall reggae, using the Jamaican style that involves the audience.
The unlikely duo met on The Admiral's radio show called 'Voice Of Soweto' in 1996.
Together with their sound system crew they are known as African Storm and have played extensively in South Africa and neighbouring countries.
With Admiral behind the decks and Jahseed spitting out some freestyle ragga, the housemates all gathered in the garden where they took turns rehearsing their solo bits, getting advice from the professionals and just basically having a great time.
Check out the daily highlights package tonight at 20h00 on Channel 102 to see the housemates and the musos in action.
