Featured Artists

Ghetto Ballerina: An artistic and expressive individual who learned classical ballet before she left home for Moscow to peruse her studies. One would think going to Russia would even spur her more into ballet, but instead she swapped her tutu and ballet shoes for a rhyme book and a mic. Truly an artist to keep an ear out for.

Theoriii: Not your conventional rapper as he has chosen the path of a styles less travelled. Not only in the style of sound but in the manner in which he presents his work when he performs. Truly in a league of his own, it is impossible to deny the synergy between his music and art.

TenderHeart: His name is a literal expression of his character but many would agree that he is everything but tender when it comes to his lyricism and delivery. He goes hard. He has struck a fine balance between being a beast that lyrically paints in artistic brushstrokes as he keeps his artistic side authentic through his choice of content and character.

Metamorph: Some of the words used to describe Harry are: enigma, anomaly, wordsmith and freestyler extraordinaire. Since his focus is more on live performances, it is on a rare occasion he will quietly record and share music with those who will take the time to listen. However his main contribution to Namibian hiphop goes beyond music but actively pushes hiphop as a culture.
