DJ Zan-D Reveals His All-Time Favourite Zoocci Coke Dope Song
DJ Zan-D Reveals His All-Time Favourite Zoocci Coke Dope Song. DJ Zan-D has shown love for one of Zoocci Coke Dope’s standout records, giving the acclaimed South African rapper and producer a public nod through a studio performance that celebrates his favourite release from the artist’s catalogue.
The veteran DJ took to social media, sharing a nearly three-minute studio performance video accompanied by a bold caption that left little room for interpretation: “This is my fav Zoocci Coke Dope song of all time!!!” The record, “Cherub,” originally appeared on Zoocci’s 2019 album Anxiety.
The video captures Zan-D behind the decks, dressed in a white hoodie and beanie, headphones on as he works through the record. Bathed in dramatic purple and red lighting, the studio setup features a vintage caravan marked “RETRO,” mannequins dressed in streetwear and a layer of atmospheric fog, creating an intimate yet visually striking setting for the performance.
His post quickly caught the attention of listeners, with several users joining the conversation to celebrate the record. While one described its production as “legendary,” another called it “so underrated.” Others echoed the sentiment, showing love for a song that continues to resonate with Zoocci’s audience.
Released as part of Anxiety, “Cherub” belongs to a project that further established Zoocci Coke Dope as one of the country’s most distinctive voices in contemporary hip-hop. Recognised for his signature producer tag, “Zoocci Coke Dope! He’s the dealer,” he has played an influential role in shaping South Africa’s trap and hip-hop sound, contributing to records alongside artists such as Nasty C, A-Reece and Blxckie. He later extended the project with Anxiety+ and earned Producer of the Year honours at the 2021 South African Hip Hop Awards.
Coming from someone with Zan-D’s experience, the endorsement is worth noting. With more than two decades in the music industry, a longstanding association with YFM and a previous stint as resident DJ on e.tv’s Club 808, he has established himself as a respected voice in South African music discovery and culture.
By putting “Cherub” at the top of his Zoocci Coke Dope playlist, Zan-D has given the record another moment in the spotlight. Sometimes, all it takes is a seasoned selector revisiting a favourite to remind everyone why a particular song deserves its flowers.
