Bantu Nots is celebrating an early win for his latest project, B11NG0, after the Johannesburg rapper revealed that the mixtape has made an appearance on an Apple Music chart.
The milestone comes only days after the project was released, giving the rapper another reason to rally his supporters behind a body of work deeply rooted in his Johannesburg identity.
Bantu Nots Reacts to the Charting Moment
Bantu Nots took to Instagram to share his excitement after discovering that B11NG0 had entered the Apple Music chart.
In a fired-up video, the rapper acknowledged that the project was not sitting at No. 1, but made it clear that simply seeing it chart was significant.
He then urged his supporters to stream the mixtape and keep pushing the project, repeatedly calling on listeners to give B11NG0 their attention.
The reaction reflects the personal importance of the moment for an artist who has consistently connected his music to the city he represents.
“B11NG0” Carries Johannesburg at Its Core
Released on September 3, 2026, B11NG0 is a 16-track mixtape built around Bantu Nots’ ongoing relationship with Johannesburg and its culture.
The title itself plays on Johannesburg’s 011 telephone code, tying the project directly to the city while reinforcing the rapper’s “011 god” identity.
That local connection is central to the project’s concept, with Bantu Nots continuing to use his music to document his experiences and perspective from Johannesburg.
The Mixtape Is Already Getting Attention
Although the project is still in its early release window, some of its songs have begun attracting attention among his listeners.
The title track “B11NG0” and “Yenza” are among the songs generating buzz around the release, adding to the project’s early momentum.
For Bantu Nots, the Apple Music chart appearance provides another indication that the mixtape is beginning to reach beyond its initial audience.
Another Step in Bantu Nots’ Journey
B11NG0 follows Bantu Nots’ earlier releases, including his self-titled project and Bantu Nots Extension Mixtape.
The latest project continues that musical progression while placing Johannesburg even more firmly at the centre of his storytelling.
With the mixtape now charting and Bantu Nots actively encouraging his audience to support it, the rapper appears focused on turning the early momentum into sustained attention.
For now, B11NG0 has given its creator something worth celebrating — and he wants his listeners to keep the movement going.
