Stogie T Gathers SA’s Finest Lyricists Ahead Of “BarFest (The Lyricist Series).” Johannesburg is set to witness a lyrical showdown like no other as Stogie T brings back BarFest (The Lyricist Series) — a vibrant celebration of hip hop’s art of storytelling and razor-sharp wordplay. Mark your calendars for Friday, June 6th, when the iconic Untitled Basement transforms into a temple of pure bars, bold statements, and electric energy.
This edition of BarFest boasts a lineup packed with some of South Africa’s most respected and revered voices in rap: Maggz, the beloved reluctant goat with his timeless flow; the ever-charismatic Yanga Chief, known for his magnetic stage presence and clever lyricism; and the introspective Pdot O, whose sharp social commentary keeps listeners reflecting long after the show ends. Joining this powerhouse trio is Nomfundo Yekani, a rising star from Soweto who carries the legacy of legendary spitters like Prokid — blending fierceness with charm, and dangerous vibes with undeniable talent.
More than just a concert, BarFest is an homage to hip hop culture itself. It’s a gathering of the next generation of lyrical giants who push the boundaries of storytelling, wordplay, and social commentary, while honouring the deep-rooted tradition of South African hip hop. It’s a platform where emerging voices are amplified and legacies celebrated, a must-attend for anyone passionate about the real essence of rap.
Doors open at 18:00 with performances kicking off at 20:00 sharp. This night promises an unforgettable experience, where every verse hits hard and every artist leaves their mark.
