NHlayiseko Tokyo Hlatshwayo, known professionally as Aspa Ugly, is a South African melodic rapper & drill songwriter from 13o5. He is one of the leader member of, RGW Verified Gangs Entertainment. 

Zolani Lucas Ponco, a.k.a ‘Pzho’was born and raised in Umtata, Eastern Cape. In 1999, he moved with his mother to the Western Cape, living in Wallacedine, then Kraaifontein and finally Khayelithsa. He soon found a home among the early hip-hop movement in the area, coming across underground ‘spaza’ artists mixing isiXhosa with township slang. Later, Pzho drew inspiration from vernacular rappers Cassper Nyovest and Kuli Chana. His first local hit ‘Where’s the Law?’ was recorded with Lungile ‘Broken Xhosa’ Ludidi in 2004.
 
Pzho is one of a growing community of conscious rappers hailing from South Africa’s main urban settlements. They inform their audiences about social issues neglected by the mass media, without imposing opinions or forcing action.
 
Pzho says: “Conscious rap speaks directly to the problems facing many South Africans. I’m conscious of what’s happening around me. There are so many social ills - alcohol abuse, teenage pregnancy, HIV. There’s a lot of musical talent in Khayelitsha, but we don’t get a lot of airplay because radio stations have a problem with this type of genre. The swearing and loose language associated with hip hop means they don’t get so much airplay. My track goes against these negative stereotypes with positive lyrics about being strong.”
 
“Music is one of the few things that keep young people inspired. Hip hop in South Africa has taken a different turn in that more artists are making music that resonates locally and creates awareness of issues.”
