JOOX’s Hip-Hop Music Content Curator Kabelo Makhudu Explains The Process Of Compiling Songs. As a hip hop fan who constantly streams songs online you’ve probably been wondering how music compilers compile the music. Kabelo Makhudu has taken time to explain the process
HYPE Magazine recently had a sit down with JOOX’s Music Content Curator Kabelo Makhudu. Joox is one of the internationally recognized musicial app which provides free music services. It allows one to listen to any radio on demand, search top charts quickly, shuffle any recommended songs, and add favorite songs.
Makhudu explained what exactly he does as the music curator.
“Having to curate playlists goes beyond putting songs together. It’s about creating a musical journey, taking the listener through a range of emotions, as well as exposing people to new soundscapes and artists that are not mainstream.”
Furthermore, he elaborated on the categories of Hip hop within the platform which include Hip-Hop Meets Kwaito, New Hip-Hop Releases and The Life of Hip-Hop.
“The “Life Of Hip-Hop” is a playlist that reflects how hip hop has evolved, highlighting some of the seminal songs and moments in the genre.
“The “Hip-Hop Meets” series was created by myself, Rixton Harper-Valentine & Nevan Sias to highlight that hip-hop is more than just 808s & drum patterns. We wanted to show that hip-hop is a genre that has assimilated musical elements from orchestral music right through to jazz – demonstrating the creative and diverse nature of the genre.”
“The series was curated in a Music Editorial, which provided people with some cool information about songs. t ‘New Hip-Hop Releases’ showcases all the latest fire hip-hop drops. This playlist is one of the more diverse ones because regardless of artist this playlist is governed by sound purely to keep it as authentic as possible.”
In conclusion, he shared what can be expected from the App.
“Becoming more of the go to authority when it comes to rnb and hip-hop while making JOOX the music app of choice by being for the youth by the youth.”
