WATCH LIVE | Mourners gather for ProKid's memorial

Friends, family and fans have gathered at Bassline in Johannesburg on Thursday afternoon to celebrate ProKid's life. 

The musician, who has been dubbed as the 'pioneer of hip-hop' died on August 8, after suffering from a seizure.

The stage has been adorned with dozens of white flower arrangements as mourners stream into the venue. 

Celebrity funeral artist Lebani Sirenje has already begun painting a portrait of Pro, as t-shirts in his honour are being sold outside the venue. 

Rapper Cassper Nyovest told TshisaLIVE that Pro inspired kids like him to believe they could make it.
