Pretoria has once again proven to be a powerhouse in producing remarkable talent for South African hip-hop. A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon a young artist making waves on social media. Yesterday, my brother in hip-hop, AB-Moch, hit me up with some exciting news: “Illy, I’ve got exclusives for you.” That conversation sparked the inspiration for this article.
Meet Young Memo, a 15-year-old TikTok sensation who is about to make his mark on the music industry. Next week, he’ll drop his highly anticipated debut project, What a Time to Be Alive. This project features an impressive lineup, including contributions from super-producer AB-Moch, Berry Jive, Khaya DoomAKU, Just G ATM, and more.
The project delves into Young Memo’s meteoric rise and the transformative impact of his breakout hit, “Koteng,” which achieved massive success in a short span. With AB-Moch serving as the executive producer, the project promises to be nothing short of extraordinary. Known for his ability to craft hits, AB-Moch’s involvement ensures a polished, high-quality release.
Fans should brace themselves for this incredible debut by a young artist who is already proving he’s a force to be reckoned with. Young Memo’s What a Time to Be Alive drops next week Friday, and it’s sure to turn heads in the music scene.
Keep your eyes on this rising star—at just 15 years old, he’s already setting the stage for a bright future in South African hip-hop.
Be ready for the boy!
