From the Ghetto Ruff stable comes Muthaland Crunk, the debut release by hip hop outfit, Jozi. Whilst incorporating international influences with regards to the R ‘n B and hip hop genres, Muthaland Crunk is saturated in strains of Maskandi, making this release proudly South African and locally authentic. Luther Cohen, Bongani Fassie, Leslie Mampe and Ishmael Morabe; it just doesn’t get more talented than that. As a lead vocalist, Ishmael lends his experience to a project that is refreshing and contemporary. You’d be forgiven for thinking that Ishmael and Bongani are the heavyweight headliners in the group, make no mistake that the rest of the team are equally worth their weight in gold, delivering material that is both polished and professional. Jozi instead knock-around with Dancehall, Maskandi and R ‘n B to great effect. ‘Rock With You’ and ‘Wayithini Umami’ have been heavily punted on national radio stations including 5FM, illustrating the crossover appeal associated with this release.
