K.O Explains Why “Skhanda Republic 1” Remains The Only Monumental Project For The Past Decade In SA Hip Hop. K.O has been successful in securing a lot of features in the past and current year, which helped him to boost his stardom as a solo artist and create buzz around his name. The rapper has bagged quite a number of top-class projects to his name that have remained classics in SA Hip hop.
As he builds-up to his highly anticipated Skhanda Republic 3, K.O has not seized from praising the work he did on the Skhanda Republic 1. During an interview with SA Hip Hop Mag, K.O stated that SR 1 is still the only monumental project in SA hip hop for the past 10 years.
“I am just back on my old ish. I’m back in my bad. We are almost close to the 10-year anniversary of the Skhanda Republic 1, I felt like the album was so monumental in terms of how it was put together the sound and the energy.” He said.
“Years later I don’t think we have seen anything close to it, so it can only take the capacity of the person that created the Skhanda Republic 1. to bring the same energy back. People can expect something not far off from SR1, not the same songs but the kasi mentality, the rawness and speaking uninhibitedly on certain social matters and current affairs that is the head space.” K.O added.
The rapper was able to give his fans a preview of what to expect from his upcoming album, SR3 after releasing SETE. K.O stated that he is highlighting his growth as an artist and the inclusion of different sounds from Blxckie and Young Stunna is a clear vindication. “Sete ‘is a sneak peak into what the upcoming album has in store for audiences. “I am showcasing my growth as K.O, as a man and artistically.” He said.
“I had an idea to bring together artists from various spaces, that resulted in a collaboration from the Amapiano sphere with Young Stunna, Hip Hop/trap sphere with Blxckie and of course I came through with the Skhanda ting.” He added.
