Hip-hop is a revolving art - Tuks Senganga :: Mmegi Online

With a number of local and international Motswako and hip-hop pioneers such as HHP vividly stating out their hatred for new school rapper’s style of rap and saying they are killing the rap industry, Arts and Culture correspondent DUMISANI NCUBE sat down with Motswako veteran Tuks Senganga an avid follower of local hip-hop who aired his views on the current state of the music during his recent visit to the country

Local new school rappers such as Faded Gang, Ban T, South Africans Cassper Nyovest and Mtee have been labelled as hip-hop killers because of the way their lyrical content and beats are assembled. Most of these rappers are into trap rap, which is different from the foundation that was laid by the pioneers which was more lyrically educative.

“Its an evolution, the youngsters have their own sound they are breaking all the rules and its nice. It challenges the art form. Ga gona gore e ka se chenje (There is no way it cannot change), as listeners we have a choice of consuming what we want,” said veteran rapper Tuks Senganga.
