Described as a “post-Apartheid glam-rap Prince”, 25 year old Spoek Mathambo is fast becoming Soweto’s number one style icon. Named as one of GQ’s best dressed men in South Africa last year, his sharp outfits and striking imagery are captivating enough on their own but, coupled with his off-kilter electrorap, they take on a whole new life entirely. Formerly the front man of Sweat.X and Playdoe, Mathambo has recently signed to legendary label Sub Pop, on which he’ll release the ‘Put Some Red On It’ EP.
