Trending spoke to accomplished wordsmith Stogie T about his mission to get South Africa rapping again through his FreestyleFridays campaign on Twitter.
Rappers who have graced his digital sessions include Cashtime’s MaE, Off Boyz 2LeeStark, Dee Xclsv of Punchline and ZuluMecca, who happens to be actor Mandisa Nduna, as well as a few rappers from across the borders and a string of underground talent.
Stogie dismisses claims that he is simply curating written scripts and says, “I think these kind of questions reveal the visitors from those immersed in the culture.” The idea is simple enough – every week Stogie picks a beat and then proceeds to rhyme on it effortlessly.“It’s a part of the entire craft of hip-hop that arms you with the skill to write, perform or improvise whenever necessary.”
