Published

on

Acclaimed beat maker, songwriter, rapper, and record producer Flash Cortez has just released his highly anticipated single Nthabiseng, featuring the lyrical powerhouse Romeo ThaGreatwhite, under Lebzatainment Records.

This emotionally charged track is more than just music—it’s a poignant narrative rooted in a true story. Nthabiseng sheds light on the harsh realities of vulnerability, exploitation, and human trafficking, topics often left unspoken in mainstream music. Through raw verses and heartfelt production, Flash Cortez transforms personal pain into a powerful call for awareness and change.

“This song is more than music – it’s a story that needed to be told. I want people to feel her journey, reflect on the choices society forces on the vulnerable, and confront the issue of human trafficking,” says Flash Cortez.

A Rising Star in African Hip Hop

Born Asivhangana Kislev Ramanyimi on July 27, 2003, in Elim, Limpopo, Flash Cortez has quickly risen to become one of the most influential young figures in modern African hip hop. His breakout moment came in 2023 when he gained recognition in Lesotho for his unique blend of Sesotho sounds and contemporary hip hop.

He further solidified his place in the industry with his production work on Sannere’s debut EP Pha-Balimo (2024), which featured standout hits like Hale Felile O Ntjoetse and Ke Romiloe Nna, both produced with support from Malome Vector. These projects highlighted Flash Cortez’s versatility and cemented his reputation as one of the region’s most exciting talents.

A Career Marked by Impact

Flash Cortez has consistently delivered powerful tracks that resonate with audiences across Southern Africa. Songs such as Kea Nyala, Phambili Nge War, and Hoba Monna have earned him accolades, including Lesotho Music Awards, and recognition as one of the most gifted producers of his generation.

Now signed under Lebzatainment Records, Flash Cortez continues to use his artistry not only to entertain but also to challenge societal issues and amplify marginalized voices.

The Power of Nthabiseng

With Nthabiseng, Flash Cortez and Romeo ThaGreatwhite aim to spark conversations around human trafficking and the exploitation of vulnerable individuals. The track’s raw emotion, layered production, and poignant storytelling make it one of the most important releases of 2025.

Nthabiseng is a reminder of music’s ability to heal, inspire, and bring awareness to pressing social issues. It’s not just a song—it’s a message, a memorial, and a movement.

togie T has flipped the script once again, turning his heavyweight posse cut “Four Horsemen” into a striking animated experience that feels more like a short film than a traditional music video. Instead of simply visualising the track, the new release reshapes its apocalyptic energy into a vivid, comic-inspired universe where lyricism meets cinematic storytelling.

Originally featured on his acclaimed album ANOMY, the record already stood tall as a meeting point of sharp pens and commanding voices. Now, the AI-enhanced visuals amplify its intensity, translating haunting bars into moving imagery that feels both futuristic and mythic.

The result is not just a video rollout but a creative statement — proof that innovation and storytelling still sit at the heart of South African hip hop’s evolution.

Brie Lee, Blue K, Efa & Yara Lane’s “Singenile” Is Taking The Internet By Storm

Brie Lee, Blue K, Efa & Yara Lane’s “Singenile” Sparks Bigger Conversation Around Women in SA Hip Hop

South African hip hop is experiencing a refreshing shift as Brie Lee, Blue K, Efa and Yara Lane come together on their powerful new single Singenile.

Released less than a week ago, Singenile is already performing impressively across streaming platforms and social media, proving that the momentum behind young female rappers in South Africa is real and growing fast. The song has been spreading organically, with listeners praising both its sound and its message.

SA Hip Hop 247 also amplified the movement by sharing the track on X, where it quickly caught attention and sparked conversation across timelines.

 

What makes Singenile stand out is how equally each rapper holds her own. Brie Lee, Blue K, Efa and Yara Lane all deliver confident, high energy verses that showcase hunger, lyrical sharpness and individuality. There is no lead or support role here, just four artists moving as one and pushing the culture forward together.

Twitter streets went into full support mode shortly after the release. One user, Erykah’s Gun (@_Khanyisiile), captured the general feeling around the song by tweeting:

 

Nota also cosigned the record.

Another user, gqimm shelele💎 (@MaDhlomo_), highlighted the importance of women opening doors for one another in the genre, tweeting:

The conversation didn’t stop there. Veteran poet and cultural voice Ntsiki Mazwai also weighed in, raising an important point about recognition and legacy. She tweeted:

Her words highlight a deeper layer behind the success of Singenile. While the spotlight is rightly on Brie Lee, Blue K, Efa and Yara Lane, their rise is connected to years of groundwork laid by women who pushed for space, visibility and respect in a male dominated industry.

Singenile therefore feels like more than just a trending single. It is part of a larger story about continuity, acknowledgment and progress. Young women are not only stepping into hip hop, they are thriving, collaborating and shifting narratives, while also reminding the culture to remember those who made it possible.

With the song still in its early days and already making noise, one thing is clear: this is not a moment, it is a movement.

The Rise, Transformation, and Future of Amapiano.

The Rise, Transformation, and Future of Amapiano briefly explained.

Amapiano has grown into one of South Africa’s most popular sounds, blending unique beats and rhythms that continue to capture audiences locally and globally, while some question its future and how the genre might be dying, let’s delve into the factors that cause that & what is happening.

Amapiano is not dying in the sense that the audience is dropping. The numbers are still increasing in Amapiano, but the mega superstar era seems to be coming to an end because many artists are making it now, and they step over each other’s rise to becoming mega stars. The genre has peaked, and it is unlikely to peak higher than it did in past years.It won’t die. It will remain very high, but one thing could happen that would make it look like it died in the coming years, and that is evolution. Black people aren’t known for keeping one sound the same over and over. Black people are music, so what will start appearing more often is Amapiano crossing over into other genres through experimental sounds that may morph it into something else. Crossovers with Afro beats, kwaito, and hip hop have already begun.With sounds like 3 step coming in, it may never peak where Amapiano once peaked, but Amapiano may combine with it to evolve the sound. It is likely to become something harder to identify as piano, similar to how RnB is difficult to identify nowadays, but the genre will remain, at least in this lifetime.And surprisingly, it continues spreading globally. As normalised as it is in SA, it is still a sound others are learning or getting used to out there.

What are your thoughts on the genre. Hit us in the socials comments, we’re looking forward to hearing from you.
