Off the whim, I asked #Kwanele_Sosibo if he’d be interested in contributing to the series. He swung me this fascinating, unpublished piece about hip-hop and religion within a South African hip-hop context. Sosibo writes for the Mail and Guardian, and is one of the founding members of The Con–Tseliso Monaheng “You are dealing with heaven, while […]

This Studio Of A Life–The Tale Of A Great Producer
▻http://africasacountry.com/this-studio-of-a-life-the-tale-of-a-great-producer

Inyambo Imenda is the birth name of producer #Nyambz (or #Nyambo). He went to high school in the proverbial ‘middle of nowhere’ — a small town called Harrismith in South Africa’s Free State Province where him and a rapper friend started making #MUSIC. “There wasn’t any hip-hop scene; nobody was making beats,” he says of the place. Necessity, […]

When #Tendai_Maraire broke down his Chimurenga Renaissance mixtape for us last year, he said about “It’s Time For You To Go”, a song inspired by a family visit to Zimbabwe (“driving down the street bumping Biggie’s ‘Juicy’”): “Young Maraire Boys being crazy at home.” Toronto, Canada-based Zambian artist #Chansa recently released his debut single, […]

Mandela and Hip-Hop in South Africa
▻http://africasacountry.com/mandela-and-hip-hop-in-south-africa

Eighteen months ago, South African rapper and former frontman of The Volume, #Tumi_Molekane (stagename: Tumi) released ‘POWA’, a song which was as much a rally against women abuse as it was speculative banter in which the rapper imagined a post-Mandela South African dystopia. “When Mandela dies, who gon’ really care about us?”, he mused. That refrain [...]
