The 7th annual SA Hip Hop Awards ceremony happening on the 19th of December will be celebrating the biggest achievements in the local Hip Hop scene. This awards will be taking place at The Lyric Theatre, Gold Reef City, Johannesburg
The award’s theme for this year is “where I’m from ” and will feature a special tributes to fallen Hip Hop artists like Ben Sharpa, Pro Kid and HHP.
“The idea of that theme is for us to start reflecting consciously … it’s tricky for you to identify with your present and if you cannot identify your present it becomes harder for you to identify with your future,” said the Director Osmic Menoe at the live nomination announcement.
Fans will be able to begin voting from 14 November and voting lines close on 14 December 2018.

Many fans of SupaMega were surprised to not see the rapper nominated for any awards. AKA took to Twitter to explain to fans that he no longer submits music for nominations.
“Megacy. Please stop attacking the SA Hip Hop Awards. I didn’t submit. For my own personal reasons I no longer submit for award shows because I no longer believe in the concept of awards. The greatest reward or award is you rocking with me and my music. I wish them all the best ❤”
