DJ OB Gwala Reflects On Honouring Rashid Kay And Hip-Hop Legends At Timeline Radio Awards
DJ OB Gwala Reflects On Honouring Rashid Kay And Hip-Hop Legends At Timeline Radio Awards. In the heart of South Africa’s vibrant hip-hop scene, where competition and controversy often steal the spotlight, DJ OB Gwala is reminding us all why respect and recognition matter most.
Known for his unshakable passion for the culture, DJ OB Gwala recently took to social media with a heartfelt shoutout after honouring two close friends with surprise Hip-Hop Honorary Awards — awards that he himself proudly claimed the previous year.
“It’s dope that we can still receive and give flowers to the legends while they are still alive,” DJ OB Gwala shared, acknowledging the sometimes tough landscape of local hip-hop. Despite what he calls the “losers we have ku Hip-Hop,” the moment was a genuine celebration of legacy and brotherhood.
One of the standout recipients was Rashid Kay, a respected figure who was awarded at the Timeline Radio Hip Hop Awards 2025. This honorary award is more than just a trophy; it’s a powerful symbol of respect and gratitude from a community that often forgets to honour its trailblazers while they’re still here.
With a humble nod to the team behind the event, DJ OB Gwala gave a special shoutout to @timeline_radio, the platform that champions authentic hip-hop culture and its legends. His message was clear: no matter how “small or big” the award, celebrating those who paved the way is what truly counts.
In a scene that often feels divisive, DJ OB Gwala’s surprise awards and genuine words offer a much-needed reminder that honouring the roots and those who nurture the culture keeps the spirit of hip-hop alive.
For the love of the culture, and to all the legends still with us, the flowers are well deserved.
