The rapper from South Africa known as
RAS has dropped his latest official single, “Cake Up.” The track
has been proudly published on the DIVI Entertainment independent
music label. Full of boom-bap, explosive lines and rhymes and coming
with a sexy, stylish official music video, “Cake Up” from RAS is
the latest reason for hip-hop fans to pay close attention to the rap
underground of South Africa today.
RAS is shorthand for Real African Seed,
the stage name of this popular rapper and songwriter from Pretoria in
the Gauteng Province, South Africa. A die-hard indie musician, he has
published three music projects and three official music videos on
minimum, homegrown budgets. One of these was even shot on-location on
the white sands of Mozambique, across the channel from Madagascar.
His videos have aired on Channel O, SABC 1’s Music Lounge, and even
MTV Base. Each video has garnered thousands of views at their various
locations online.
South Africa's RAS has appeared on
hip-hop television programs such as eTV's Shiz Niz and Channel O’s
Head Rush. He has been discussed in S.A.’s first hip-hop magazine
as an editorial feature and likewise featured on the magazine’s
official compilation CD. RAS was voted by Hype Magazine as one of the
top-five best unsigned artists in South Africa. His music can be
heard on the radio on Metro FM’s Rhyme and Reason show, the Bridge
on Yfm, and on college radio hip-hop programs internationally.
“Cake Up” is the most prominent
release from RAS since 2012's “Everything I do” and 2013's “Nzela
Monene.” These tracks have circulated on a startling number of
music programs, including (but not limited to) Sizwe’s Hot 99 and
DJ Sabby’s Live and Rewire on Yfm; DJ C-Live’s Hip-Hop Power
Night on 5fm’s; Vow fm; Bush fm; Capricorn fm; Eldo fm; Kovsie fm;
Lentswe fm; Mdantsane fm; Motheo fm; Mungana Lonene fm; Naledi fm;
NWU Radio; Planet Radio; Radio Turf; Rhodes Music Radio; Tru fm;

Always friendly to the stage as well as
to the music studio, RAS and his live band can be seen performing at
StageNights events at the popular States Theatre in Pretoria.
