Malaysia's rap group 4U2C bringing back 90s flavour to reunion concert
25 Jun - First it was KRU, and then Elite announced that they too will be holding a concert. Now, Malaysia's first ever rap group 4U2C announced that they are set to hold their own concert on 15 September at the Idea Live Arena in Petaling Jaya. With the theme being "Bringin' Back Da 90's Flava", the event is organised by Juss Event and will reunite all seven original members; AC Mizal, Aren, Yanz, Rinz, Lanz, Charlie and Azam. Speaking about the upcoming concert, AC said that the idea was first suggested by his wife, Emylia Rosnaida prior to the offer made by the organiser. "For me, this is like a dream come true. I am thankful that the opportunity came at the right time. We promise to give the fans our best performances at the concert," he said, adding that the group will sing and dance on stage like they used to. "We were the first group to sing and dance on stage, and we want to continue to maintain that identity," he said. AC also said that he is thankful to KRU, seeing that the trio's highly successful GenKRU concert series back in May has created a path for 90s groups to hold their concerts as well. Tickets will begin selling on 30 June via Ticket Empire and Fantopia, with prices ranging from RM155 to RM555.

Elite opens official Instagram account amid rise in popularity
19 Jun - After receiving much love from fans following their reunion at KRU's GenKRU concert, '90's female pop group Elite recently announced that they have officially opened a new Instagram account. Member Linda Rafar, who shared the good news, said that the account @eliteofficialmy is open so that they can share their activities with the fans, especially since they have received lots of invitations following their performance at the concert. "We used to have an Instagram account in the past. But since then, everybody became busy with their own careers that the account became no longer active," she said. "But after we got involved in the GenKRU concert, suddenly we received a lot of attention. We didn't expect so many people want to know about Elite's activities." When asked if this means that Elite will one day hold their own concert, the singer stated that they will take whatever opportunity that comes their way. "We do receive lots of offers to hold a concert. But even before accepting them, we have to do a lot of preparations and not just in terms of singing. We are all in our 40s now. We have to start exercising and taking vocal lessons. Even KRU started doing fitness six months prior to their concert," she said. It was back in May that Linda was reunited with the rest of the Elite members; Abby Abadi, Sasha Saidin, Watie Sadali, and Azza Zawari to perform the song, "Di Pintu Syurga" with KRU. The group made their debut in 1995 and is known for hits like "Tamparan Wanita", "Manisnya Senyumanmu" and "Trauma". (Photo Source: Elite IG, Sasha Saidin IG)
