South African Hip Hop Awards Nominees 2018

So, the SAHHA people at RMG have dropped the nominees list for 2018 and it's looking all sorts of impressive.

I was at the first ever workshop about these Awards and the actual award ceremony about 7 years ago and man they have grown!

The challenges are noted and the moves are celebrated. Growth is evident. This good for the culture. Its good for history and the kids. Its good for SA Hop.... Maybe next year they'll add "Best Hip Hop Writer/Blogger" and your girl might be in the mix 😏

There's some categories I'm looking closely at to see who's gonna take the bag. Like Best Male,Lyricist, Remix,Video,Female, and DJ. People have been putting on the work no doubt. But we know who's taking "Song of the Year" right?

I know there's gonna be some folks swaying this way and some swaying that way, oksalayo that's the list and that's it.(you know the SAHHA anthem "they didn't submit") and that's truth.

Its great to see other parts of the culture still upheld and representing. Hopefully this catches on the mainstream and they get the recognition, the love,the interviews, interest, support and money like the musicians do.

And the big one.... I'm especially super excited and conflicted with this category!! My top contenders: Zakwe, Lez and Nasty.....

There's about 7 categories that will be open for public voting,do make sure you peep the socials for the hows.
I'm looking forward to see what they'll do in commemorating our recently departed soldiers #RIPPRO #RIPBENSHARPA #RIPHHP
The awards take place on the 19th of December 2018 at the Lyric Theatre. See the complete list and more info on www.sahiphopawards.com

Tan89Media Tips For Emerging Talent

Attention Emerging Talent!! So, for the years that I have been dealing with and working alongside emerging talent, more so, artists. I have noticed some behavior pertaining to their brand. That could be credited to lack of experience and knowledge but it could also be ignorance and lack of proactivity. A lot of talent lacks a lot of knowledge of their industries. The very same field they want to occupy one day. Its super essential for anyone to know as much as possible when it comes to a dream they are pursuing or a skill they are great at or anything for that matter they say they are passionate about. The very basic things to know are many times overlooked and undermined and they play a huge role in how you develop as a brand, how you are perceived, and it shows just how serious or not one is about whatever it is they are pursuing. I have listed and broken down six (6) tips for emerging/ up and coming brands/ talents. Hopefully they will serve helpful to some. 1. The bas...

Beyond The Music with Wimz Montshioa

There's a saying that I like using, which goes "we can't all be everything and anything, but we all can be something" When one's caling is helping others reach theirs,you have to step up to it. Wimz Montshioa says he believes he was drawn into the pop culture because the music fascinated him. So much so that he went on to try it out. Being from a Province that is so heavily Hip Hop influenced, more so by Motswako, there was no other genre to pursue but that. But when one realises that their passion lies just beyond the mic, you have to step up. Wimz later decided to dicth rap music to focus on being behind the scene due to realising that, what lit up his fire was working, nurturing and producing new artists to the people. He's been at it for a while as "the man behind the talent" and says he appreciates the state that the industry is at right now and says things could be better especially in his hometown. "The scene is great you know...
