Digital man of the moment, DJ Dreas, entertained us during the lockdown by hosting a midnight show that saw various Namibian and International artists come on and finesse us. The show, #5minfinesse, garnered a wide audience reaching over 30 000 viewers with the aim to promote Namibian Hip Hop culture while giving the underdogs the opportunity to put themselves on.
However, well before #5minfinesse he gave us a bop (and an EP) ft Slickartie titled “The Pluto Song” which we’ve added to our list of favourite Namibian songs.
