TBKS E31: The Black Messiah

Loading player...
Every few years, the South African hip-hop industry sees a new talent display brilliance that sets them apart from the rest of the pack. We can say that about Nasty C when he claimed the leader of the new school title or even with J Molley when he rose and assumed the position as the leader of the new wave for artists who were making waves on the internet. Now, we get to witness this shift again and this time around, it is spearheaded by the impressive BLXCKIE. On this episode, we chat all things Blxckie and his debut album: B4Now.
