Shugasmakx – Numba 1

Shugasmakx is the co-founder and star of the legendary, multiple award winning SA hip hop group "Skwatta Kamp". Numba 1 is Shugasmakx’s one-man debut and it follows on the heels of solos by other Skwattas such as Slikour, Nemza, and Bozza, and according to Smakx, it’s set apart from what you’d expect from a Skwatta Kamp album and it released independently through Buttabing Entertainment. The first thing you hear on Numba 1 is a metallic clatter cutting through what sounds like a Jay-Z voice sample – (“number one”) – and for a second you’re right in the middle of Jay and Pharrel’s “Blue Magic”-New York – then the bass gains momentum, the drums roll in, and the beat starts pounding back with that unmistakeable Jozi griminess. And there’s no time wasted: Shugasmakx clambers on top of the beat sounding straight outta “Rau-Rau”: merciless, vicious, and hurling out some of the rawest punchlines to come out of the Skwatta camp since 2002’s Khut ‘N Joyn.
