New Music Friday: Big-name SA Rappers In Full Swing As They Dish Out New Joints
New Music Friday: Big-name SA Rappers In Full Swing As They Dish Out New Joints. The current mood in South African hip hop is a clear sign that there is much to be pleased about. The genre has been trampled for some time now, with other rappers jumping on the Yanos bandwagon, but efforts to conserve the culture have been in full swing in recent weeks.
Talk of an SA rapper who makes use of his raps in addressing critical issues, Priddy Ugly takes the throne. Priddy Ugly has made the wait for his highly anticipated MUD album worthwhile. The rapper took to Twitter and shared the good news with his followers, but he has already received props for ‘30minutes to Soweto’ and ‘1632’, which were the lead singles from his body of work.
“With great pleasure I present to you the next level in my assension 🗿🪨. BIG LOVE TO ALL THE CREATIVES INVOLVED IN THE CREATION OF THIS PIECE OF ART 🖼 🖤. MUD – OUT ON ALL DSP’s.” Tweeted Priddy Ugly.
The entire album keeps things moving forward as Priddy raps successfully over a bing bang bap with hints of trap sounds. The amapiano sound was the icing on the cake, with Lady Du doing what she does best.
Big Zulu has been the most talked about artist in SA hip hop in the past weeks. The Nkabi boss received plaudits for evoking the sleeping lions in SA hip hop after dropping the 150 Bars diss track. The Imali Eningi is once again topping the trends as he chose to run the raps with Nasty C and Patoranking in a new single ‘We Run The Road.’
The Zulu rapper announced the release of his new single when he unleashed the 150 Bars diss track, and it appears that the wait is now over.
It’s clear that Maglera has made a name for himself as a gritty street rapper. On his debut album, the young rapper decided to present logical stories as his body of works comes with a powerful message in songs like ‘Memoirs” and ‘The Suns’ Song’. But songs like ‘Glacier’, ‘Ascension’, ‘Makazana’ and ‘The Running Of The Bulls.’ The whole concept of the album is for the listeners to follow the story that the rapper is telling in his Kasi raps.
