South African hip-hop heavyweight Khuli Chana is using his influence to open doors for emerging talent. The rapper has joined forces with rising artists Apu Sebekedi, Just Sam and Akili Blaq on a new single titled “Victory” — a collaboration that celebrates fresh talent and the determination to succeed.
The release comes as the Mmabana Foundation’s Ultimate Talent Search begins its journey in the North West, with its first stop taking place in Klerksdorp this past Saturday. The initiative aims to identify, showcase and develop emerging performers, giving young creatives an opportunity to share their abilities with a wider audience.
