Their praise adds to the momentum, positioning FLVME as one of the leading voices pushing South African hip-hop into new territories.
At just a few weeks into the album’s lifecycle, BLVCK & WHiTE is proving that South African hip-hop isn’t just alive, it is competing on a global level. And if this momentum continues, FLVME could be on track for one of the most impactful international runs a South African rapper has had in years.
