Slikour OnLife: A calling
Siyabonga Metane, fondly known as Slikour in his home of South Africa, spent his childhood in Katlehong, and teen years in Leondale. He describes his love for hip hop as incidental. “Growing up as a black kid, I just hadn’t seen black people look the way black people in hip hop look or speak with such conviction. That pulled me into hip hop because that’s when hip hop was very politically driven and conscious,” he shares.
