With an extensive set of credits to her name, South African producer Kay Faith has mastered the art of producing hip-hop that’s deeply rooted in its surroundings. Her pride in her own upbringing in Knysna drives her to help artists lean into and celebrate their own backgrounds, a talent she wields as a producer, sound engineer and even an artist, with the release of her 2017 album, In Good Faith—and a skill that’s led her to work with the likes of Yasin Bey and Whosane. Kay Faith’s unrelenting push towards unlocking originality is evident across Mzansi hip-hop classics and fresh cuts alike, from Kwesta’s “Day One”, Priddy Ugly’s “Come to My Kasi” and Kashcpt’s “WHEN IM GONE”.
