Jack Parow is a South African rapper who has become an iconic figure in the Afrikaans hip hop scene. Born Zander Tyler in 1982 in Parow, a suburb of Cape Town, his stage name is a nod to his hometown, and his music often reflects his South African heritage. Parow’s career catapulted to fame with his self-titled debut album in 2010, which included hit singles like "Cooler as Ekke" and "Dans Dans Dans." Known for his distinctive cap with an extra-long visor and his often humorous and satirical lyrics, Parow has carved out a unique niche in the music industry.

His body of work showcases a mix of cheeky party anthems, reflective pieces, and heartfelt narratives that often play with cultural stereotypes and social commentary. His recent releases such as "Bokke Bring Die Beker (Springbok Anthem)," a rousing track celebrating South African rugby, "Wit Vlag," a song about surrender and vulnerability, and "Altyd Op Vakansie," which encapsulates a carefree, holiday spirit, continue to resonate with his fans. Parow's ability to blend slick rhymes with catchy beats and choruses has solidified him as a prominent figure in the Afrikaans music scene and beyond, painting vivid pictures of life in South Africa with a blend of humor and sincerity.
