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.
