This isn’t just wordplay — it’s a full-on metaphor for their dominance in the game. The imagery, the props, and the punchlines all come together to create what can only be described as slaghuis energy.
The Afrikaans hip-hop scene in Gqeberha just got a whole lot grittier with the release of Hell Kombuis, a heavy-hitting drill track from Jon-Dre and Bassie Rhymez. Packed with raw township energy, sharp lyrics, and hard visuals, this collaboration is proof that the Eastern Cape is not just making noise — it’s carving out its own lane.
🔪*** Welcome to the Slaghuis***
From the jump, Hell Kombuis sets the tone — and it’s violent, vivid, and intentional. Jon-Dre appears in the video wielding a kapmes, slicing through the beat with lyrical precision. His verses are sharp, direct, and unrelenting.
Bassie Rhymez follows up with a graaf (spade) in hand, representing how he buries the competition. It’s symbolic but also powerful: Jon-Dre chops them down, and Bassie lays them to rest.

🎥 A Video Rooted in Kleinskool
The video was shot in Kleinskool, adding an authentic township feel that grounds the track in real-life grit.
Behind the lens is Riaan “Biggy”, known more as a dancer from the Future Kings crew with Beasty Boy, but here, he proves he’s multi-talented. His work on this visual shows that he’s just as skilled behind the camera as he is on the dancefloor — capturing the rawness of the streets and the charisma of the artists with precision.
🔥 Jon-Dre’s Relentless 2025 Run
Jon-Dre is on fire this year. From Toets Jou Pen to Snitch and Disappoint Nooit, he’s been consistent with the bars and intensity.
With Hell Kombuis, he levels up once again — balancing street lyricism with showmanship. You can feel that this is just the beginning of a major chapter in his journey.

🐆 Bassie Rhymez — Young OG, Veteran Swagger
Bassie Rhymez may be making a comeback, but don’t get it twisted — this is a seasoned MC with old school roots and new school aggression.
His flow is so slick, “it makes a cheetah feel slow,” and his delivery shows that he's still got that hunger. He’s from a generation that built the local Afrikaans rap foundation, and now he's back to prove that the OGs still have plenty to say.
Bassie brings to mind Junant from the Terrible Twinz — not just in tone, but in presence. There’s that same street wisdom, that same unapologetic flow. But instead of boom bap, he’s now gliding over dark, modern drill beats — and the result is electric.
📢 Final Thoughts
Hell Kombuis is a moment. A gritty, aggressive, unapologetic anthem from two artists who know exactly what they bring to the table.
Whether it's Jon-Dre slicing through the beat or Bassie Rhymez burying the opps, this track is everything Afrikaans township rap is meant to be: hard, honest, and unforgettable.
Gqeberha, take a bow — your sound is cutting through, and Hell Kombuis is the perfect proof.
