Hailing from the fabled metropolis of Pretoria, South Africa,
A-Reece grew up a rap acolyte, moulded by his older brother who filled the house with the cross-pollinated hip-hop of the early 2000s, which dispensed with the notion that “classic rap” had to be provincial and pure.
A-Reece’s talents as a teenage prodigy was consonant with this gestural vision of rap. At just 19-years old, he became one of the youngest artists to win ‘Lyricist of the Year’ at the South African Hip-Hop Awards off the back of his 2016 debut album ‘Paradise’. As he matured, he reached starrier heights: with every subsequent release he merged the underground with the commercial, refining his wordplay, cementing his position as one of the most gifted storytellers from the vast terrain of the African continent.
