OceanDrip

OceanDrip (born Siyanqoba Dlamini, 16 May 2006) is a South African Hip-Hop artist born in Soweto and raised in Utrecht, Newcastle (034). Inspired by Blxckie and LucasRaps long before receiving any recognition, including Sportscene Put Me On, OceanDrip turned admiration into ambition. Selected for Sportscene Put Me On and inducted into Team Blxckie, he has since emerged as a defining voice of the 034 new wave. He is the creator of SHAKA ZULU WE'HIP HOP (2024), more than a mixtape — a movement rooted in heritage, ambition and street wisdom.

Known for his versatile flows, authentic kasi storytelling and relentless work ethic, OceanDrip represents a new generation bridging rural roots with city dreams. His music is more than sound — it is identity, resilience and evolution. He is not chasing the wave. He is the wave. Rooted in Utrecht, built in Soweto, destined for the world.
