After dropping out of school to pursue music, The Big Hash hustled his way into becoming one of the leading voices of South Africa's internet-driven melodic-rap scene in the 2010s. Born Tshegetso Reabetswe Kungwane in Pretoria in 2000, Hash made a mark at 17 years old with the release of his 2017 debut, The Big Hash Theory. Inspired by Drake, Childish Gambino and Lil Uzi Vert, Hash’s captivating punchy rhymes, relatable lyrical content and soothing melodies earned him a dedicated fanbase almost overnight. Throughout his projects—be it 2018’s Life + Times of a Teenage Influence, 2019’s Young or singles such as “Amnesia”—Hash displays his growth and boldly showcases his versatility as not only a new-school hip-hop artist but also as a talend R&B singer/songwriter.
