As we all know, hip hop is a highly competitive art form. From emceeing to b-boying… from graff to DJing – its all about comin’ off better than the next cat. When the February issue dropped, we profiled the artists that, we felt, best represented the regions they were from. As cats saw who had been profiled as regional representatives, a lot of them started making moves to position themselves as such. As artists such as Damola (Cap City [p28]), iButho (Natal [p29]), Supremacy (Eastern Cape [p30]), Kullax (Bloemfontein [p31]), Mo’lemi (Maftown [p32]) Driemanskap (Cape Town [p34]) and Pro (Soweto [p.36] all stepped their game up in order to claim the title, it became clear that we had to revise our stance and drop Hip Hop Is Territorial [Vol.2].
Find out why these cats are currently the leaders of their regions. Kick back and enjoy volume two of the Territorial Issue.
