On Thursday the 26th of February I released my third hip hop political commentary song titled #RapSONA. The song is based on the disruptions to President Jacob Zuma’s 2015 State of the Nation Address in the South African parliament. It features snippets from several politicians who made objections and running commentary by Radio 702’s Afternoon Drive show host Xolani Gwala.
A day later, #RapSONA debuted on Sam Cowen’s show on Radio 702. Above is a link to the song on soundcloud, as well as a segment from the show below, where she asks listeners to guess who made it.
