HHP walked away with two key awards at the 14th Annual South African Music Awards in May 2008, the noise in the Sun City Superbowl was nothing short of thunderous.
Music industry pundits, his peers in the hip hop community and, most importantly, the fans in the gallery were united in their approval of his storming live appearance and SAMA award and all made it plain to hear, that his ‘Best Male Solo Artist’ and ‘Best Rap Album’ wins earned both critical (from the judges) and public approval. This was a mark of how far this gifted individual has come in his many years of carving out what is now an enviable solo career in the South African music industry.
His win was also confirmation of HHP’s peerless standing in the industry: as a lyricist and rapper of epic proportions, so highly regarded by his fellow artists that he’s in constant demand as a collaborator; an artist and a musician, able to craft beats and melodies both memorable and fresh, and as an all round likeable guy.
It’s no surprise that HHP has a deep love for funk, soul, urban and vocally driven pop songs - as well as his increasingly visible affection for traditional music.
