Big Zulu plans to disrupt the SA hip-hop game again after announcing another diss track, 200 Bars, set to drop at midnight on Friday.

The diss track is a follow-up to his infamous 150 Bars (Ke Hip Hop Dawg), which he dropped on 22 August 2022.

"'200 Bars'. Ay, hip-hop nation ngizwile ikhalo zenu. Ay, sekunjalo ivuthiwe manje. hlehle inkuni isisha nesobho. Dropping Friday [at] 00:00."

His previous diss was an all-encompassing shade at the local game, a move which many saw as an attempt to revive it.

While some artists responded to the diss with diss tracks, others treated it as a joke and brushed it off. However, Emtee seemed to have taken a swipe at him hard, as the only rapper still taking shots at his counterpart on social media.
