South African Best Selling Hip Hop Albums Part 4

SA Hip Hop artists have been dropping chart topping records more than ever but not everyone is moving albums like the O.G’s used to. Some will argue the fact that the internet and downloads are killing the game but fact is your fans will support you. Check out our Top 20 Best Selling SA Hip Hop Albums Of All Time list:

16. 2012 Khuli Chana- Lost in Time went Gold

The album won three SAMAs at the 2013 ceremony including the coveted Album of The Year. The album had several smash hits and took Khuli from being another successful rapper to legendary status in the music industry.

17 AKA With Levels 2014

Since releasing the Royal School of Hip Hop with his two high school best friends as Entity, Kiernan Forbes (AKA) has come a long way. He established himself as one of the biggest rapstars in the country and after 1 year of being on the shelves Levels became the first English Rap album to ever go gold.

18. iFani With I Believes In Me

His album I Believes in Me (1st quadrant) will quite literally crack you up and add some truth to the stereotype that Xhosa guys are the funniest. An album with a few English words peppered here and there it obviously alienates groups that don’t understand the Xhosa language but in a genre that uses American hip-hop as a blueprint, his choice to make his album exclusively vernacular makes it original, adding a local flavor to a genre starving of it.

19. Riky Rick With Family Values

Family Values turned out to be a deeply personal, sometimes uncomfortable, experience. It was raw in a way most of us aren’t accustomed to anymore – Riky told his story and shared his fears, regrets and sorrows and by the time the first dance/hype track came on I was personally too emotional to even vibe to it.

20. Jack Parrow With Eksie Ou

Jack Parrow has been in the game for a while now and has managed to grow his fan base over time. The rappers commands a big loyal following in SA and overseas which allows to go on sold out tours. Jack Parrow 2011 release EKSIE OU went gold in 2012.
