Seems like the SA Hip Hop Awards were a success last night, it’s a bit unfortunate that some of us had to watch them via social media platforms. But we heard through the grapevine that the awards might get aired on Etv on the 31^st of December, fingers crossed.

There was honestly no surprise when it came to winners of the night as the likes of AKA, Cassper Nyovest and Kwesta scooped up their fair share of the awards.

AKA scooped up four SA Hip Hop Awards for Best Hip Hop Collaboration, Best Male and Most Valuable Artist of The Year and Video Of The Year

Whilst Cassper Nyovest took home Best Digital Sales for his debut album Tsholofelo and for Song of The Year for Doc Shebeleza. Taking to his Instagram account to thank his fans and team for another great win. This is just weeks after the Channel O African Music Video Awards where he collected most of the awards for the night.

"The big one again!!! Thank you #TeamNyovest !!! You never let me down!!! I love you!! God is good, all the time!!! And all the time!!! "

Congratulations to Kwesta for also walking away with Lyricist Of The Year. We definitely think he deserved that award especially in light of the release of King’s Speech which caused a ruckus a few weeks back.

DJ Dimplez came up on top with DJ Of The Year whilst Hip Hop clothing brand were crowned Best Local Brand of the Year.
