It seems as though there is a rapper who still knows the game. Rapper Reason, who traded seats with his Amapiano alter ego, Sizwe Alakine, dropped a young verse on DJ Speedsta's 5FM show.
Hip hop DJ and musician, DJ Speedsta, hosts the 5 Hip Hop Nights segment, where he asks his guests to freestyle on a random beat chosen by him. So far, up-and-coming rapper K.Keed folded and refused to rap for Speedsta. Another rapper, Zigah, was not up for the challenge.

Why Zingah refused to rap for Speedsta
In a previous report from Briefly News, Zingah put his foot down and told Speedsta that he would not be rapping on his show.
“Speedsta, I told you when I came here, you're not going to make me rap. You can't make me rap, dawg. How are you going to make me rap? You know how I came up.”
He stated that he can only freestyle for Scoop Makhathini or Sizwe Dhlomo. “If your name isn't Siz or Scoop, I am not rapping for you,” he stated.
