Ma-E

Ma-E, whose real name is Ezee Hanabe, is a South African hip-hop artist and producer, renowned for his distinctive contribution to the music scene, particularly within the genre of Kwaito. Hailing from Soweto, Johannesburg, Ma-E first rose to prominence as a member of the pioneering South African hip-hop group Teargas, which made a significant impact in the early 2000s. The group's signature mixture of Kwaito and hip-hop created a fresh, homegrown sound that resonated with a wide audience, laying the groundwork for the artist's successful solo career.

Venturing out on his own, Ma-E has maintained his relevance in the hip-hop community with his gritty storytelling and authentic representation of South African township life. His solo work, including notable releases like "Township Counsellor" and "212," consolidates his narrative prowess and musical dexterity. Songs like "LeVibe (Remastered)" and "Bulldozer" showcase his ability to produce hard-hitting tracks that appeal to the club scene, while keeping a steady eye on the socio-economic themes that affect his community. With his latest offerings such as "Play The Long Game" and "Zithande," Ma-E continues to evolve, combining lyrical depth with infectious beats, ensuring his stance as a respected figure in the South African music industry.
