Siya 'Slikour' Metane, Building Global African Businesses

Loading player...
The legend. The pioneer. The OG.
This week on The Shady Phodcast, we sit down with none other than Siya "Slikour" Metane — a titan of South African hip-hop and a digital visionary who paved the way for artists long before “influencer” was even a thing.
From founding Skwatta Kamp to digitizing music and launching SlikourOnLife, Slikour has shaped the culture and the business behind it. But in this epic episode, we go even deeper…
We talk:
- How to turn music money into investments
- The formula for transforming start-ups into global-listed companies
- Collaborating with corporates & government to grow true African entrepreneurship
- And why knowing how to source capital is the game-changer
If you care about the future of music, money, and the African dream — this one’s not to be missed.
