Sterk Wies is more than just a song; it’s a movement. Blending Afrikaans and English seamlessly, the track delivers real, hard-hitting messages about issues often swept under the rug.
Afrikaans hip-hop is undergoing a powerful transformation — and Yo 6ix This You is leading the charge. With the release of Sterk Wies, featuring Benjamen YTTG and Mr MP, this new era of Afrikaans rap is defined by authenticity, consciousness, and fearless storytelling.
Sterk Wies is more than just a song; it’s a movement. Blending Afrikaans and English seamlessly, the track delivers real, hard-hitting messages about issues often swept under the rug. Rather than glorifying flashy lifestyles, it calls attention to the struggles faced by many, including abuse and disrespect toward women and children — topics that many artists hesitate to address.
Yo 6ix This You’s production sets the tone perfectly. His gritty, soulful beats create the ideal backdrop for the raw emotion and truth that Benjamen YTTG and Mr MP bring to the mic. Yo 6ix isn’t just a beatmaker — he’s a visionary shaping the sound and culture of Afrikaans hip-hop’s new wave.
Benjamen YTTG’s versatile flow rides the beat with a mix of passion and lyrical skill. Switching between singing, rapping, and battling, he embodies the energy of a rising star unapologetically telling his story. Meanwhile, Mr MP’s verse hits with fearless honesty, shining a spotlight on uncomfortable realities with the line, “ek praat uit my hart.”
The music video, filmed against the stunning backdrop of Gordon’s Bay and directed by Noel’s ABoutit, visually captures the emotion and depth of the song. It’s a perfect marriage of scenery and message, reinforcing the song’s impact.
Sterk Wies signals a bold new chapter for Afrikaans hip-hop — one where artists speak truth to power and create music with meaning. Yo 6ix This You and his collaborators are setting the standard for real, conscious rap in South Africa.
