Survivors Only 3: Only the Fierce Will Stand

Some events you just hear about. Some events you feel in your bones. And some events… you have to be there to witness.

On Saturday, 26 July 2025, Gqeberha becomes the battleground for one of the rawest, most authentic hip-hop nights of the year: 🎤*** Survivors Only 3 x Xhosa Battle Rap*** Contest, proudly brought to you by Xhosa Hip-Hop & Creative Kontrol.

This isn’t just another night out. This is a deep lyrical battle den where only the fiercest survive.

If you were there for Survivors Only 2, you already know — the energy was unmatched, the moshpit was alive, and the bars were unforgettable. But believe me when I say: Survivors Only 2 was dope… but number 3 is going to be immaculate.

And me? Best believe I’ll be in the crowd, watching it all unfold.

Funny thing — the streets have been hinting at this moment for a while now. Dizzy Kay1 himself even posted weeks back on Facebook:

“Do you remember when I said Dyna Steez should come here in Port Elizabeth weekend to gather?”

Well, here we are. Both Dizzy Kay1 and Dyna Steez are on the lineup, about to share the same stage and give PE a night to remember. Some things just feel destined.

🩸 Lyrical Warfare at Its Finest

If you love bars that cut deep and punchlines that leave the room gasping, this is where you want to be. Three brutal battle cards. Six hungry MCs. No gimmicks. No excuses. Just pride, pen, and presence.

The contenders stepping into the spotlight:

Ndeya

Dizzy Kay1

Sims

S.A.M

Likour M

Smokey

These names don’t just show up — they show out. Expect raw talent, sharp tongues, and a room split between cheers and groans as every haymaker lands.

🔥 And Then… the Moshpit Comes Alive

Once the battles settle and the lyrical smoke clears, the beat takes over. The energy shifts. The floor becomes a living, breathing moshpit of Xhosa hip-hop culture.

Live performances by some of the most exciting names in the scene:

Machasa Gaffii x B8se Aura

Gxarha

Dyna Steez

Ndingu Sango

Dizzy Kay1

We’re talking raw bass, chest-thumping anthems, and sweaty unity — the kind of energy you just can’t stream or replay later.

🎟️ Be There. Period

If you really love hip-hop — the culture, the chaos, the craft — this is for you. Some things can’t be explained. Some things can’t be streamed.

🩸 Survivors Only 3. For the streets. For the real ones. For the culture. I’ll see you in the crowd.

📍7 Athol Fugard Terrace, Central, Gqeberha 🎟️ R80 at the door. Don’t be late
