AKA and Emtee jump on 25k’s Culture Vulture remix
JOBURG – Culture Vulture remix solidifies 25k’s space as a trailblazer in South African hip-hop.
25K is back with the street single remix for Culture Vulture. This time he enlisted the help of rap giants AKA and Emtee.
The hit single was inspired by the lack of originality in the local hip-hop scene at the time; every artist seemed to copy whatever sound was doing well. 25K took that frustration and put it in a song by creating his own sound using the raw township sound that comes naturally to him.
Culture Vulture also seeks to play on the irony of the fact that anyone who would copy what he does, either from the song or his sound in general, would also now be a culture vulture.
The song has gained popularity and has been embraced by artists that 25K looks up to such as AKA, Cassper Nyovest and DJ Maphorisa which led to the remix featuring all-star hip-hop giants AKA and Emtee. This has now solidified his space as a trailblazer in South African hip-hop with a fresh take on musical expression.
