RIVLN Clique is a soulful hip hop group from Cape Town on a small area called Philippi. This crew was established in 2010 by four guys’ namely Invisible virus, Revelation, Luhlakanipho and Ncutshe. Because this crew wanted to be different in every way from other crews that existed before and after them they decided to choose a name that will be more personal and meaningful to each and every one of them so they took the first initial of each member in the crew and they formed the acronym RIVLN. These guys have created a great bond since their high school years because of shearing one thing common which is the love for hip hop music. They started working together by doing collaborations and using the same Studio called Godsend Records which is also owned by a member from the crew (Ncutshe) who produces some of their work, since then they never stopped doing what they love the most until they realized that soulful hip hop is what defines them better. The unique styles that each individual in this group poses didn't prevent them from jellying together and coming up with a beautiful sound that they were intended to do from the first place which they use to express their experiences in life. These guys’ blend very well creating a very powerful and mind challenging lyrical content, and rare flows that sew their concepts and spice them up touching the hearts of many. Rivln Clique mostly expresses themselves in their home language (Xhosa) with a bit of English there and there because they feel comfortable in both, their vernacular raps are intended to embrace their heritage and showcase the Xhosa culture to other cultural groups and the importance of native languages among youth .the aim is to reach a wide audience without losing the true Hip-Hop essence.
