“Amapiano is South Africa’s Hip-hop” – MajorSteez On Amapiano Dominance

“Amapiano is South Africa’s Hip-hop” – MajorSteez On Amapiano Dominance. At the epicentre of South Africa’s pulsating music landscape, Amapiano has surged like wildfire, captivating both the nation and the global stage.

With unwavering confidence, Majorsteez’s Sandile declared that Amapiano now wields a cultural impact and influence within the country akin to the dominance of hip-hop. Speaking during an interview on the Spreading Humours Podcast, the Majorsteez brothers shared their thoughts on the sentiments that SA Hip-hop is dead with most SA rappers hoping the Yanos bandwagon.

“I was telling our producer the other day, I feel like for those that have been coming with the comments of hip-hop is dying. People have been saying that for so long and so loudly that it even convinced hip-hop artists that guys it’s a wrap,” Majorsteez’s Sihle said.

“I even told Major, like boy I think as a country we’ve been looking at this thing wrong because if you think about it, Toss is a rapper, Focalistic is a rapper,” he added.

Majorsteez’s Sandile hopped into the conversation drawing parallels between Amapiano and hip-hop’s global influence, saying, “You see this Amapiano is South Africa’s hip-hop. Hip-hop never came from SA it came from all the way that side.

“So I would say that Amapiano is SA’s hip-hop and n*ggs find it hard to accept that this is a new thing because they were so ingested or so much invested in the Western culture they dont know how we are trying to make our own hip-hop right here which has been Kwaito in the past, now is Piano. So I really feel like Piano is some hip-hop of our own.”
