Rising Star in Cape Town’s Hip Hop Scene: Lerothehustler****Khayelitsha, Cape Town** – Born in the vibrant township of Khayelitsha, Zibele Mnanzana, better known by his stage name Lerothehustler, is making waves in the South African hip hop scene. Renowned for his unique vocals and innovative concepts, Lerothehustler raps in both isiXhosa and English, setting himself apart as one of Cape Town’s most promising underground artists.

Lerothehustler’s journey into music was inspired by his friends, ph, rhymes, and super who were already making music. Initially a soccer player, he found solace in music after the tragic loss of his parents in 2013. This personal tragedy fueled his passion to tell his story through his music, deeply rooted in his Xhosa heritage.”My hometown has a huge impact on my music,” says Lerothehustler. “After losing my parents, I was raised by the community. The love and support from my neighbors, friends, and the entire hood have been incredible.

They support our videos and shows, and it’s truly a village raising a child.”Lerothehustler remains dedicated to incorporating cultural instruments and sounds into his music. While he raps in English, he is committed to continuing to rap in isiXhosa to ensure his music resonates with his community. “Xhosa rap is sidelined in South African hip hop, but I don’t care about that. I just keep doing my own thing, and every day it keeps growing,” he asserts.

He is proud of the growing number of Xhosa rappers and the impact they are making in South African hip hop. “We are doing music to be heard. If you’re a Xhosa rapper, we’re going to take it. We aren’t begging this time,” he declares.Lerothehustler is eager to collaborate with other creatives, share his knowledge, and learn from others. His recent project, “Umxhosa,” has brought significant changes to his life, and he is proud of every artist he worked with on the project.For bookings, contact Lerothehustler at lerothehustler@gmail.com or call 0672196998.
