Listen to South African Hip-Hop DJ P Kuttah’s Mix as Heard on Sway in the Morning

South African hip-hop deejay P-Kuttah's mix played on Sway in the Morning on Wednesday. The mix has an all-South African tracklist, featuring songs by the likes of Nasty C, Ginger Trill, Shane Eagle, Rouge, Stogie T and Nadia Nakai among others.

According to Kuttah in a Facebook post he shared this morning, he was given a short turn-around time for the mix.

"I literally had a few hours to build the mix and record it (probably the fastest mix that I've done? As I usually take about 2 days to finish a mix) as they needed the mix by Monday afternoon NYC time so the pressure was on but I think I managed to do a good job and put together a 100% local mix of some of my favorite SA Hip Hop artists as well as my own mash-ups. My aim was to try show the diversity in sound & rap ability we have in the country as while as my own ability as a DJ. I just wish I had more then 30 minutes to fit more tracks in but I did the best I could to rep for SA Hip Hop."

He added that he was honored to play on the platform that forms part of his story.

"This was a HUGE moment for me as a DJ & Hip-Hop head. I grew up listening to Sway Callowayback in the day on #TheWakeUpShow with Tech. Them with Stretch Armstrong & Bobbito were like the internet for us back in the 90's for underground & indie Hip-Hop music & artists. So to feature on one of the pioneers of Hip Hop radio that I grew up on & helped build my connection to Hip Hop culture is literally a dream come true Thank you so much to Sway & the Sway In The Morning team for the opportunity. This will forever live in the banks of my memory."
