He expressed that this accolade is a testament to the broader South African hip-hop community, reflecting its collective achievements and growth.

“damn !!!! this is no longer just about PITORI, IT’S ABOUT HIP HOP too! just got my first SAMA Nominee! 🤲🏼😭 long vote’la mos ?” Wrote Loatinover Pounds. The nomination is a significant milestone in his career, highlighting his growing influence and the impact of his work on the South African music industry.

Loatinover Pounds will be up against intense competition for the award, with fellow rappers AKA and Blxckie also vying for the honour. Additionally, he will be contending with amapiano artists, who have recently achieved significant success in South African music and garnered a substantial fanbase both within South Africa and beyond its borders.
