Buzzi Lee (Pretoria)
Pheli first lady, Buzzi Lee, brings us witty spitori raps and couple of features. With all the hype she’s been getting over the past two years, 2023 is definitely going to see her rising to the top and be the best at what she does. Being featured on Mashbeatz’s ‘Never Ride’ remix amongst South Africa’s top lyricists, and holding her own, says something about her hunger and pen game.
K.Keed (Cape Town)
Her ear for dope beat selections, accompanied by her aggressive and grimy raps which make her stand out, definitely show that she’s the one to look out for in 2023. Now in her fifth year in the game, the Gugulethu township rapper has proven to be a gem in the South African hip-hop scene. “Saying I’m not your top five favourite rapper? B***h, how dare you?” – then who am I not to put her in my top artists to check out in 2023?
Linda Kim (Johannesburg)
If she’s not drilling then she’s spitting with a confidence and crazy flow that is going to leave you ‘wow!’. Hailing from the east of Johannesburg, she is a versatile emcee who can switch up her flow anytime she feels like it. Many will be familiar with her freestyles that she drops often on IG. In 2022 she dropped an amazing four-track EP featuring Mandae and Kidnextdoor. In 2023 her aim is to take the game by storm, growing up within the industry and being the talk of the town.
