Ntukza: “The SA music industry treats me like I’m nothing”
Ntukza: “The SA music industry treats me like I’m nothing.” SA Hip Hop has witnessed numerous legendary moments, many of which have been created by iconic rappers, and Ntukza is undeniably one of them.
During the Teargas era, the group produced a robust music catalogue that remains relevant to this day. Their contributions to the genre set a high standard and left an indelible mark on the South African music scene. However, Ntukza’s relevance in the South African music industry seems to have diminished, as he has not been heavily active in the music industry compared to his superior days.
Taking to Instagram, the veteran rapper got candid about the treatment he has received in the music industry, despite being the creative force behind some of Teargas’s greatest hits. Ntukza pointed out that he co-produced Teargas’s iconic track “Born for This” with Zyon from Liquideep, showcasing his significant influence in the industry despite not receiving enough recognition in this day and age.
“I Produced Teargas ‘Born for this’ alongside Zyon from Liquideep but the SA music industry treats me like I’m literally nothing,” he wrote.
Ntukza’s remarks shed light on the challenges faced by artists who have contributed significantly to the industry but feel unrecognized or undervalued in their careers.
