K.O Marks 19-Year Milestone With Powerful New Album ‘Phara City’

K.O Marks 19-Year Milestone With Powerful New Album ‘Phara City.’ South African hip-hop icon K.O is officially celebrating 19 groundbreaking years in the music industry—and he’s doing it in the most fitting way possible: with the highly anticipated release of his new album, Phara City.

Taking to social media, the multi-award-winning rapper shared a heartfelt message with fans: “Thank you for rocking with me all the way into my 19th year in the game. Another season around the sun. #PharaCity OUT NOW!”

This isn’t just another album. Phara City is a sonic celebration of legacy, grit, and the streets that raised him. Known for pioneering the Skhanda sound, K.O returns with a project that blends introspection, lyrical dominance, and cultural homage—all wrapped in crisp production and streetwise storytelling.

From the Shona-language praise intro that honours God’s goodness, to the fiery track No Chorus—where K.O unleashes an unrelenting free flow with no hook, simply bars—this album is both a flex and a testimony.

K.O’s journey spans eras, from the legendary Teargas days to solo domination with hits like “Caracara” and “SETE.” Nearly two decades deep, he’s proven his staying power time and again—innovating without chasing trends.

Now, with Phara City, K.O is adding a new chapter to his storied legacy—and inviting a new generation to join the ride.
