Multi-platinum rapper K.O on the 'lawless' state of SA, new album, Mkhwanazi

SA hip-hop heavyweight K.O joins Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh on SMWX! The multi-platinum rapper, songwriter and producer unpacks Phara City – his new, concept-driven album that tackles South Africa’s collision of crime, opulence and everyday lawlessness. K.O reflects on:

- the real-life “paras” who inspired the record – from township hustlers to luxury-car kingpins;

- General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi’s bombshell claim of a criminal syndicate inside government; • the tragic loss of AKA, industry assassinations and why the powerful so often “get away with it”;

- crafting chart-ready records that still push social commentary, and why iron only sharpens iron.
