The SA Hip Hop awards nominee list is finally out and this list seems to be, quite the talk of the town since it came out.
This year the nominee list seems fair, no dramatic media uproar about the list has yet surfaced. So let’s get into it.
We have our own Drake, Mr Fill Up Orlando Stadium himself Cassper Nyovest with the most nominations for the night, (I’m sure he’s bound to scoop up at least one) while Mr Pearl Thusi, Emtee is rolling up right behind him with six nods.
Young talent Nasty C is also got six nods. I guess we’ll just have to see who’ll be taking away which award come December 14.
The awards will take place at The Lyric Theatre, and hosting them this year is, Trending SA’s Nina Hastie and Actor and MC Batsile Ramasodi,will host the awards.
For all the loyal hip hop fans, like myself, public voting is open for the following six categories:
Best Collaboration

Best Male
Best Hip Hop Radio Show
Best Video
Song of the Year.
So do best.
