Mini bio
How it started.
Lutendo Kungoane grew up in the south of Johannesburg. An older cousin introduced him to international pop and hip-hop in primary school. At high school, he learned to mix with VirtualDJ for school socials, then became a resident DJ in Melville while studying at the University of Johannesburg.
The breakthrough.
“Do Like I Do,” featuring Kwesta and Flabba, brought Sliqe to a wider audience. Its remix won Best Remix of the Year at the 2016 South African Music Awards. He built on that start with collaborative albums and records that bring South African rappers into the same room.
Building the catalogue.
Navy Black arrived in 2018, followed by Injayam, Vol. 2 in 2019. On Champion Music 2 in 2022, he joined 25K and Maglera Doe Boy. Injayam, Vol. 3 widened the sound in 2024, placing hip-hop alongside amapiano and kwaito.
Beyond the records.
Sony Music Entertainment South Africa appointed him Head of Hip-Hop/R&B in 2020. His mix series The mXr began in 2024 as a way to share songs from Injayam, Vol. 3. More recently, the Bangerville EPs and his Rush-Awa partnership with MashBeatz have continued his collaborative approach.
