  • Don’t At Me: Sango’s South African Hip-Hop Classic Albums

    It doesn’t matter the year, the generation, the genre, the artist or the culture. One thing that will always have people in arms and debates is what we consider to be a classic. Whether we’re talking TV shows, movies, paintings, clothes, sports stars or even cartoons, these debates always someone how turn into life long…

  • SAI HLE:THE SOUL SISTERS OF MZANSI

    They say, “Two heads are better than one.”, and in this case I believe the same applies with angelic voices. As South Africans we love music, vocalists and a nation who has a deep love and cultural respect for family. With this in mind it feels like this duet ticks all the boxes for becoming…

  • NEO ‘NENE’ MAHLANGU:

    REFRAMING HOW WE LOOK AT ART When we think of art, especially visual art, the first thing our mind goes to is old white European men from before our time. This is because of what history has shown us or rather I say what history they’ve wanted to show us when it comes to visual…

  • THE BUSINESS OF LOVE:

    ARE WE TOO SCARED TO INVEST ANYMORE They say, “The problem is you’re looking for love in Gauteng and Gauteng is made for business, not for love.”, and they might be right, but I look at it in a unique way. Let’s say we do look at love like a business, which I don’t think…

  • THE LOST ART OF SAMPLING

    WE ARE OVERWRITING HISTORY, NOT REWRITING IT It’s 2026 and everything about music has changed. The way we listen and consume music. The way it’s sold to us. What we consider albums, eps and mixtapes has changed. The numbers and how we count these numbers or keep track f the charts. The invest and development…

  • Imani Basquiat & RGRSNW

    Funking Up The Game In 2026 we’ve seen artist come up with new genres and sub-genres. We see it in house with Amapiano and the sub-genres that have come from that such as 3-Step. In Hip-Hop and RnB, we’ve seen the kids dive more into South African samples, a mix of traditional records merged with…

  • FRAT’S RnB CORNER: HOW KEHLANI TURNED GROWTH INTO FIRE RnB

    There’s something beautiful about watching an artist survive every version of themselves in public. For over a decade, Kehlani has done exactly that. From teenage prodigy to Tumblr-era R&B staple, from heartbreak prophet to spiritual healer, her career has unfolded in real time. Every phase documented. Every scar audible. Every lesson stitched into melody. That’s…

  • LOWFEYE TURNS GRIEF INTO ART ON NOSANGE

    There’s something powerful about a debut that reveals who you are to the public. Lowfeye taps into that power on Nosange. After carving out a lane through EPs and the Qwellers movement, this album feels like a long exhale. It’s honest, unfiltered, and deeply personal. What hits immediately is the vulnerability. He strikes a wonderful…

  • SPORTS INVESTMENT:

    A FOREIGN CONCEPT IN SOUTH AFRICA South Africa a country known for its diversity, culture, traditions, music, arts and fashion. One thing that doesn’t get highlighted as often besides when certain fields is our sporting pride. By any and every definition South Africa is a sporting nation and one of the biggest and best in…

  • CR8TOR WEEK AFRICA:

    CR8TING CONVERSATIONS, CONNECTIONS & CURIOUSITY Creativity is not birthed in isolation nor fear. It is birthed from community and curiosity. Being in a world where we are influenced and affected by the environment, cultures and people around us, it is impossible to say that your creativity was sparked alone and by yourself. The questions that…
