With more South African rappers clocking a million plus YouTube views, I always wondered how much it cost to feature a down south rapper. According to a recent article published in the GQ, below is a quick price guide for my brothers and sisters window shopping for guest verses and features from these 12 MCs based the other side of the Beitbrige border. However AKA is not on the list, beacause he doesn’t charge for a verse and won’t do a feature unless he loves the track or will benefit from its release in any way. Another top SA rapper, K.O neither charge for verses nor feature most rappers – he only works with the best and most established MC’s as he’s reportedly very particular with his collaborations and who he’s associated with.
