Nominee List that Packs A Punch
New and old talent fills this years SA Hip Hop Awards nominee list...
Throughout the years it has been seen that the the South African Hip Hop awards have been mainly dominated by just a few artists. AKA and even Cassper for years have been seen as the clear cut winners and pretty much could have been given the awards even before the ceremony. However, as the love and consideration for hip hop in South Africa has grown, so has the talent pool and this year the list seems to bring a little more competition to the table.
Let us know on our facebook page what you think of the list and who you think should take home the win!
