Hip Hop Pantsula - Video Vaults

HHP is a rapper who delivers a richly satisfying listening experience with his ability to roll rhymes off his lips and create a rhythmical melody with words alone.

But listen to his 2007 offering – and his deep repertoire of recordings before that – and it’s clear that this is no run-of-the-mill talent, content to churn out an album a year with little thought of its content.

“Always stay fresh, current and creative,” is HHP’s mantra. “Those three things mean the world to me. Without them, I’ll just fizzle out,” he says.

He applies these three pivotal elements to his live performances and says that aside from winning the SAMAS and even more than being nominated for Best African Act at the 2007 MTV Europe Music Awards, the single most memorable moment in his career came at the 2008 Cape Town International Jazz Festival.
