HipHopKop Entrants Rundown
Tags: South Africa
We have been following the HipHopKop contest with much interest over the past few weeks. We put together a list highlighting the cream of the crop, the potentials and other decent tracks that you have to check out. This is by no means a comprehensive review. It must be noted that we do not have access to other reference material in most cases therefore this list is based on the submissions only.

Mature lyrics. There is something special about this track. There is massive potential here.

Rashid Kamalie (Paarl)
The track speaks for itself. The chorus is flimsy but the verses are what impressed us.

Schaik & Jbux (Port Elizabeth)
Superior lyrics and production. Perfect articulation of concepts and rhyme structures within the bar frameworks are executed flawlessly. This is probably the best track entered. It is rather unfair that stuff like this is overshadowed by less talented Afrikaans emcees in the South African scene.

Hakkiesdraad Hartman (George)
The rhyme style is sick and unique. The rhyme construct just requires sharpening. There is something interesting happening here.
