Pitch Black Afro, born Thulani Ngcobo, is a South African hip-hop artist hailing from Johannesburg, renowned for his distinct Afro hairstyle and his unique combination of township slang with an isiZulu and English lyrical blend. He rose to fame in the early 2000s with a style reminiscent of kwaito, an infectious homegrown genre that emerged in Johannesburg’s urban night scene. His music often resonates with an energetic vibe, reflective of South Africa’s post-apartheid cultural renaissance.
With a discography that includes hits like "Int'emnandi" and "Joy Cometh in the Morning," Pitch Black Afro has cemented his place in the pantheon of South African hip-hop. "Zonke Bonke" and "Styling Gel" are standouts among his collection, highlighting his playful yet insightful commentary on society and life in the townships. Despite facing personal tribulations and legal challenges over the years, Pitch Black Afro's artistic output remains influential, capturing the spirit and resilience of the streets that raised him.
