DJ Zan-D Sparks Nostalgia With A Call For A Family Tree Reunion
DJ Zan-D Sparks Nostalgia With A Call For A Family Tree Reunion. In the ever-evolving landscape of South African hip hop, where the tides of collaboration and competition often blur, there lies a sacred era many fans hold dear — the rise of Family Tree.
It was more than just a record label; it was a movement, a brotherhood, and for some, a defining chapter in the story of modern SA hip hop. And now, with one tweet, DJ Zan-D has cracked open the vault of nostalgia and possibility. “A Family Tree Reunion would be dope, even just for a song or 3.” Simple. Unassuming. Yet, profound.
Known for launching and nurturing some of Mzansi’s most influential hip-hop artists, Family Tree has played a pivotal role in shaping the local music landscape. The label was once home to a formidable roster, including Cassper Nyovest, Nadia Nakai, Tshego, Gemini Major, and more, each leaving an indelible mark on the game through collaborative hits, unforgettable performances, and a unified brand that championed local hip-hop with flair and finesse.
Zan-D’s post feels less like a random thought and more like a heartfelt plea to rekindle a moment in time when the synergy between these artists set stages ablaze and created chart-topping anthems. His idea of even “just a song or 3” has been warmly received by fans online, with many echoing the sentiment and tagging former Family Tree members, urging them to make it happen.
