Loatinover Pounds Announced As Featured Artist For Rap Life Africa On Apple Music

Apple Music's Rap Life Radio, presented by Global Editorial Head of Hip-Hop and R&B, Ebro Darden will feature South Africa rapper and producer, Loatinover Pounds ( real name Loatile Mangadi) on this week's episode. Ebro and Africa Now host Dadaboy Ehiz chat about his latest single ‘Sosh Plata’ (feat. 25K & Thapelo Ghutra remix).

As one of the most exciting rap talents to emerge from Pitori, the release of Loatinover Pounds’ debut EP ‘Hood Misunderstood’ in 2022 firmly established him as a star on the rise, with ‘Sosh Plata’ earmarked as one of the most Shazamed songs in South Africa. 

“As an introvert and a man of few words rap has been a window to my soul and the deepest parts of my mind,” Loatinover Pounds tells Apple Music. “It’s an honour that my words and way of expression landed me on the cover of Rap Life because in one way or another, these words have become a reflection of my life. Faka Punyete!”

Alongside Loatinover Pounds, Rap Life Radio also features a new track from South Africa’s lauded DJ Sliqe called “Ekhoneni ft Emtee, Thato Saul & Saudi” , the first single off his highly-anticipated forthcoming album, 'Injayam Vol 3'.

Rap Life Africa serves as a companion to Apple Music’s flagship hip-hop playlist, Rap Life.
