Benzo | Kumkanikazi Joburg-based rapper Benzo cites ANATII and iFani as some of the artists which have inspired her. In the last quarter of 2020, she dropped her debut EP Kumkanikazi and the title track garnered her recognition. Jumping out the gate and calling herself a queen (ikumkanikazi) shows how much confidence she has not only in herself but in her craft as well. "Ndingumkanikazi, my name will be known like the street Vilakazi, sebenza kakhulu andilovila-kazi", she kicks off the first verse with conviction. The 20-year-old rapper's independently-released EP is entirely produced by Durban's 031CHOPPA and her song "Imali" was recently used in a scene on the first episode of South African Netflix original dance series Jiva!. - Courtesy of OkayAfrica
