The man has never stopped Since that verse on "Chance" in 2006🔥 — Jamie Cubez (@JCubez) May 29, 2025 The 44-year-old rapper's impact in the hip hop game has been undeniable as well as remarkable, with his thought-provoking lyrics and his distinct 'skhanda' flow, his music has resonated with many fans across the country. His ability to tackle complex social issues and tell stories that reflect the experiences of many South Africans has earned him a loyal following. Songs like 'Push It' and 'SETE' showcase his versatility, which has also garnered him global recognition with multiple BET Awards nominations. Additionally, the 'Let Me Cook' hitmaker has been in the industry for over ten years and has managed to keep his relevance and consistency, staying true to hip-hop without flinching. He started out as part of the trio Teargas and even after going solo, he kept producing fire music that still resonates with fans to this day. Not everyone agrees with this assessment, however. Some fans argued that there are other talented rappers in South Africa who could potentially rival K.O's skills and popularity. They point to artists who have also made significant contributions to the local hip hop scene and have a strong following. 'KO? Nah, bro. He is good, but not that good. I know this could sound silly, but Emtee is who I roll with. Nigga is so talented,' said @Uncle_Sbu07 KO? Nah, bro. He is good, but not that good. I know this could sound silly, but Emtee is who I roll with. Nigga is so talented. — Uncle Sbu (@Uncle_Sbu07) May 28, 2025 'Cass did it better than KO, AKA did it better than KO, Prokid did it better than KO and HHP did it better than KO. But big up for him for his longevity,' @cheeseBoySA4 added.
