Stogie T Celebrates as ‘ANOMY’ Debuted Number One on SA Hip Hop Charts
Stogie T has achieved a major milestone with his latest album, ANOMY, which debuted at number one on both the Apple Music and Spotify South African Hip-Hop charts. The rapper described this achievement as “historic for South African rap,” highlighting the significance of the album within the country’s hip-hop scene.
Speaking about the album’s success, Stogie T took to social media to share his excitement, stating that “ANOMY, my new album has debuted at #1 on both the Apple Music and Spotify South African Hip-Hop charts, marking a historic moment for South African rap.”
The album’s lead single, Four Horsemen, broke first-day streaming records for a hip-hop song in South Africa, surpassing the previous benchmark set by international artist Drake. Reflecting on this milestone, Stogie T emphasized that while metrics were never the main goal, they carry weight, writing that “We were never driven by these kinds of metrics, but it’s striking how emphatically the numbers speak back to those who used them to disqualify our contributions. I predict their silence will be deafening.”
He also paid tribute to the collaborators who helped bring the track to life, noting that he was “grateful for the brothers who stood with me on this record @maggz100 @theboydoingthings @nasty_csa @homagebeats and for every collaborator on my album who has carried this culture with conviction and craft.”
The track reflects its strong reception among fans and the wider music community. It also highlights the collaborative effort behind the project, which included contributions from prominent artists and producers such as Nasty C, Maggz, A-Reece, and Homage Beats. Their combined efforts helped shape the sound of Four Horsemen and reinforce its impact on the South African hip-hop landscape.
Closing his announcement, Stogie T expressed gratitude, saying, “To God be the glory,” acknowledging both the creative team and the support of fans.
The debut of ANOMY at the top of major streaming charts underscores the album’s immediate impact and the growing recognition of South African hip-hop, both locally and globally. With a combination of record-breaking streaming numbers and strong collaborative contributions, the album solidifies Stogie T’s position as one of the country’s leading hip-hop artists, while Four Horsemen exemplifies the increasing reach and engagement of South African rap on international platforms.
