No one man has impacted South African Hip Hop culture like this man has without ever rapping. From his early TV days on Street Journal to his days on radio with The Full Cli, there’s absolutely no just way to introduce this man, ladies and gentle man we have the one and only Siyabonga Ngwekazi b.k.a Scoop Makhathini in the streets.

The episode starts on a full circle moment between Scoop and the hosts, that’s before we start getting in to the guest’s life in the game. Scoop doesn’t hold back, he speaks on his relationships with everyone in the game, the state of Boyzn Bucks, how he and Shane Eagle worked things out. He has some really strong words for some corporates that aren’t nice to the youth and much much more. Enjoy this episode and keep the conversation going with #TheSoberingPodcast
