Emtee

Emtee, born Mthembeni Ndevu, is a trailblazing South African rapper and hip-hop artist who burst onto the scene in 2015 with his breakout hit "Roll Up." Hailing from Johannesburg, he’s become known for his raw, relatable storytelling and signature blend of trap beats with local flavors like amapiano and kwaito. Recent drops like *DIY 3*, *Hood Hero*, and *Stand On Business* showcase his knack for anthemic hooks and lyrics that celebrate resilience and streetwise ambition.

A multi-award winner (including a MTV Africa Music Award), Emtee’s career hasn’t been without drama—he famously navigated label disputes before going independent, doubling down on his DIY ethos. Tracks like *Imali* and *This Life* keep his fans hooked, blending introspective vibes with party-ready energy. Proudly a “hood hero,” he reps his roots while staying unapologetically innovative in SA’s ever-evolving hip-hop scene.
