Anzo

Born and bred in KZN, Anzo is a talented rap artist with an immense passion for writing and performing. Anzo’s first interaction with the South African hip hop scene was when he moved to the Vaal in the south east of Johannesburg, back in 2007. There, he started exploring rap and taking part in high school cyphers and ultimately performing at various hip hop shows in and around the Vaal. In 2015, won the Back To The City 10k Challenge, an annual hip hop competition for artists and producers in South Africa. He dropped his debut LP that same year titled Indaba Yam, which he describes as iinganekwane or book of tales from ekasi. In 2016 he returned to Back To The City, but this time to perform on the main stage. An emcee at heart, Anzo is also a polished vocalist as one would tell when listening to hit track Eweni (Sjava, Umqhele) which he recorded alongside fellow 1020Cartel artists, Sjava and Mzukulu.
