Maramza and similar artists

We're not new to OKZharp & Manthe Ribane, but you might well be. If you are, make sure to start here. The duo's debut album is being released on ...

Would you believe me if I told you I'd never actually listened to this song? Would you even really care? You know who doesn't care? The government. T...

I have listened to this whole track a couple of times through. It really is great, and I love that it's coming from South Africa. Plus, two sisters wo...

You know what's tough? Writing words about music. That's why almost all of my reviews steer away from actually addressing what you're listening to -- ...

As far as bass goes, this song has got it. A horribly vague description, I know, words just aren't so easy to come by on Mondays. Like the deserts mis...

My brain is feeling slow this Monday; there's music for that, there is music for just about everything. Not that I'm saying this Maramza remix is the...

Back at it again on a new SoundCloud account is Cape Town's local favorite Maramza. He's hijacked a Drake song, but my God has he done some serious wo...

I love it when good, original music comes out of South Africa. So many artists here (and throughout the world, for that matter), find inspiration from...

Who even makes music this good? You most likely struggle with the lyrics, but they're actually completely about how cool you, the Indie Shuffler, are....

Nope, I don't know what this track means either. It's pretty damn good, though. One half of up-and-coming rap group Bean n Pasco, Bean has joined for...

How about that?! A Drake Afro bootleg. Skeptical you are, indeed. Go with the flow, you must. I'm equally as amped about this bootleg as I am about th...

So, by now we all already know Jumping Back Slash is a master at what he does -- making music that is very different, that you enjoy, but you can't pu...

Hip-hop comes in many, many forms, though it could be argued that the majority of styles find their original form in poetry. Okwonga's "Ring The Bells...

Well goddamn, what do we have here?! Affine Records have made use of the King of Gqom, Jumping Back Slash, to signal the forthcoming release of a very...

Following the success of Maramza's "Cut the Cake" is the release of his new mini-mixtape Changez. The five-track release consists of an effortless ble...

I've come to expect nothing less from my consistently favored artist Jumping Back Slash. I dunno if it's because I love how African the music is, or i...

A South African rap superstar linking up with Austrian synth-maestros almost sounds too good to be real. Fortunately it's an actual thing now with thi...
