He showed immense love and appreciation for Gomora in the song like Welcome To Alex and Gomora (Heita Hola). But also switched it up on songs such as Lesego, dedicated to his daughter, where we caught a glimpse of the promising father willing to love and protect his girl child.

Flabba’s range as a rapper is what set him apart from his contemporaries even though he was accused of being a gimmick on more than one occasion. Outside of his affiliation and work with trailblazing Hip Hop collective, Skwatta Kamp, Flabba made rapping in vernacular cool.

And Flabba’s album, Nkuli vs Flabba was a testament to a turning point in SA Hip Hop where rapping in your language became a desirable trait. The album won Best Rap Album at the South African Music Awards in 2007.

Flabba managed to get everyone rapping at his wavelength!

While Zubz got the hottest emcees to rap their hearts out on the now legendary Heavy 8, Flabba got everyone to drop comedic lines, effectively playing according to his rules on Is’bhamo Somdoko. Since Flabba’s style of rap was punchline heavy, this remix saw each rapper drop 3 lines that were punchlines.

Flabba was ahead of his time!

Is’bhamu Somdoko was a terribly sexual song and it extended the theme of Flabba’s music. He didn’t mind rapping about boobs or booties. And the reason why it was never considered too vulgar or unacceptable was that he had a healthy balance in the way that he delivered these lines.

The Bravado accurately wrote about the song: “It pinned down the various Mzansi rap styles in one song, with everyone trying to channel their twisted sexual side which Flabba did so seamlessly.”
