PH Raw Weighs In On The Phrase “WE NEVER DIE, WE MULTIPLY” As More SA Rappers Die. The late rapper Riky Rick pioneered a number of important things in South African hip-hop, including his legendary music festival Cotton Fest. The event is intermingled with the mantra “WE NEVER DIE, WE MULTIPLY,” which has become a watchword of reassurance in South African hip-hop, particularly during difficult times.
In the last several months, South African hip-hop culture has seen catastrophic incidents, with big-name rappers dying in inexplicable ways. Following the passing away of Costa Titch, most SA rappers have been left with so many questions than answers on what has befold upon the rap game.
Taking to Twitter, Producer and rapper PH Raw has lamented the phrase “WE NEVER DIE, WE MULTIPLY” as the game keeps losing most of its important personnel. PH Raw went on and paid his condolences to Costa Titch’s friends and family paying tribute to the slain rapper.
“At this rate, honestly…we not multiplying!!! WE DYING AND LOOSING A WHOLE LOT!! LETS NOT LIE TO OURSELVES THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID FOR SA MUSIC…YOU TOOK IT TO WHERE N ONE HAD. SENDING LOVE, PEACE & WISDOM TO YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND FANS. RIP COST TITCH,” Tweeted PH Raw.
In a space of one month SA hip hop has lost two prolific players of the game and that has left a devastating mood within the culture. Nadia Nakai who is still mourning the passing away of AKA took to Twitter and questioned the energy surrounding the SA hip-hop culture at the moment.
“God! So you just going to take them one by one! What is the plan here!! I’m so freaked out, what is going on here?! Someone please explain.” She tweeted.
