I am personally a hip hop fanatic. I believe the hip hop music scene in South Africa has evolved for the better and the artists are getting more exposure and more impressive per release. The most dominant artists in the South African hip hop music scene currently are AKA and Cassper Nyovest. Talented lyricists and performers. I personally love both of the hip hop artists but my favorite has to be Cassper Nyovest. I have my own personal reasons and some include that he is a fresh, new act from Mahikeng also known as "Maftown". He is a breath of fresh air in the "Motswako" hip hop scene, "Motswako" is a mixture of rap music with different languages such as English, Tswana etc. I strongly believe that AKA also is a great artist. Both artists have a huge following on social media platforms such as Facebook< Twitter and Instagram and social media has brought brighter exposure to their music and their everyday activities and always keeping their fans updated about their next move. The local hip hop artist Cassper Nyovest also releases music online for his fans on his latest album titled 'Tsholofelo'. I believe that Casppser Nyovest has done justice on this album, it went platinum on August 2014 platinum album source .The album is still selling like hot cakes. Cassper Nyovest in my opinion has changed the South African music hip hop scene and a lot of the artists are following in his footsteps. He is trending, exciting, fresh, new and very hardworking and that is what u I love about the artist. His music never disappoints and you always keep wanting to listen to more of his material that is upcoming. Awaiting anxiously with anticipation. Cassper Nyovest is my favorite local hip hop artist. He takes the crown. Big Up.

What do you think about the "beefing" thing in the hip-hop industry, would you agree that its way of marketing their image, music etc.????
ReplyDeleteArtists, especially Hip Hop artists will find anyway to market themselves and create hype for their brand. Us as loyal customers, we never know what goes on behind the scenes. I believe it could also be a publicity stunt to raise more attention to them as artists.
ReplyDeleteI partly agree with you, well for me Casper is full of himself and he likes bragging meanwhile better artist like Dimples and AKA they are so chilled and know the meaning of rap music
ReplyDeleteI also agree with, he may be full of himself but he produces super great music and i acknowledge his effort of making new and different music.
ReplyDeleteI totally with you londi he acts childish because he might have a beef with one of the artists so he will make a song about their beef, he should focus on something better not on people that do not like him for the sake of his image but i won't disagree with the fact that he produces great music.
ReplyDeleteYou have raised a very good point Lilly, making songs about and all that. Just also shows signs of immaturity.
ReplyDeletei am not a fan of hip hop but i loveeeee his music i think its unique not because he made the bucket hat famous and trendy but hes super cool
