Long Bio

Mwai is a New Age Hip-Hop artist born in Zambia, raised in Cape Town, and freshly back from a stint in Atlanta where he went to close the gap between his African roots and the sound taking over the globe. Now home, he is bringing everything he absorbed straight to the world.

His sonic range is his deadliest weapon. Moving fluidly across Rage, Cloud Rap, Jerk, and atmospheric Trap, Mwai draws inspiration from the boundary-pushing auras of Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti, and Yeat while forging a frequency that is next-generation and distinctly his own. Versatility is not a style. It is a weapon.

Already veted by the South African scene, Mwai has earned cosigns and colaborations with Kashcpt, BabyDaiz, and bigaj!, names who move with intention and co-sign with purpose.

Mwai is here to represent the continent, show the world what is possible, and inspire a generation to show up for themselves. This Is The Origin Arc. Africa To The World.

Artist Quote

"I do this to show the youth it's possible. Africa to the world." - Mwai
