What has come over this beautiful land? It is the unleashing of The Exception, Namibia’s first major Afrikaans rapper.

The Exception as his Nome de plume implies has transformed the way people talk in the hood into slamming ghetto anthems. Look out for a full length RV IN© LP droppin’ on the 1st April 2004.
