South African hip hop is officially global. Our rappers have been knocking on the international doors for a while now, and after making several breakthroughs we can celebrate the fact that two of our top rappers have made it to Sway in The Morning within the space of two weeks. Forget all the beef nonsense right now, raise your hands and say “halala!” because this is a time to celebrate.
AKA made his debut on the hip hop breakfast show on Wednesday afternoon (Morning in the US) and he got to chat to Sway about all things hip hop. South African producer, Mhlanga Kudzayi managed to capture snippets of the interview on his Snapchat account and shared them with the country.
