South African hip hop is evolving, raw, genre-bending, and unapologetically homegrown. Stepping into the curatorial spotlight, tastemaker and culture connoisseur FKA MOSES delivers a weekly sonic dose that taps directly into the pulse of the streets. Titled Hip Hop Weekly Picks, this top 10 playlist highlights the hottest voices pushing the sound forward.
From gritty trap flows to spiritual township sonics, each track speaks to the diverse soundscape bubbling under. Whether it’s the infectious energy of Loki. & Blue Pappi’s “Amantombazane”, the alternative edge in K.Keed‘s “uMvuzo Wam”, or the street anthem energy from Mochen, Focalistic & MashBeatz on “Black Market”, FKA MOSES is mapping out the next chapter of the culture.
