TV Presenter Lerai Says Zulu Rappers Are Carrying SA Hip Hop. South African television personality Lerai has sparked a conversation about the state of local hip-hop, crediting Zulu rappers for keeping the genre alive and pushing it forward.
Taking to Instagram, the MTV Base TV Presenter expressed her belief that Zulu rap artists are a major force in the South African hip-hop scene. Her comments come at a time when the genre is experiencing a temperate moment with other genres such as Amapiano taking the spotlight. “I won’t lie the Zulu’s are carrying SA Hip Hop right now,” she said.
There’s no doubt that the genre has produced a diverse range of talent, with Zulu rappers emerging as a powerful force. Their unique flows and lyrical styles are captivating audiences and pushing the boundaries of the genre. The likes of Nasty C, Blxckie, Big Zulu and the new kid on the block Usimamane have been holding it down for SA Hip Hop consistently.
It is important to note that South African hip-hop has a rich history and is known for its diversity. However, Lerai’s spotlight on Zulu rap highlights a specific aspect of the genre that is currently flourishing. The creative talent of Zulu rappers is enriching the South African hip-hop scene and attracting a wider audience.
