Known for his killer collabs as much as he is his decade-spanning career, South African hip-hop veteran K.O links up with Maglera Doe Boy on “Let Me Cook”, a check-my-cred anthem. “I’m a huge fan of the recent breed of raw rap talent in SA and have been in chats with MGD since 2022 for us to link,” K.O tells Apple Music. “His swag and energy is so raw. ‘Let Me Cook’ is a bold statement piece, and the stern message behind it is: ‘Be quiet—while I show and prove.’” The track tops Rap Life this week, the playlist at the forefront of hip-hop culture today. “This my first link-up with one of the greatest artists in the history of [South African] hip-hop,” Maglera explains. “The sonic is so high-end and feels rich.” Our editors update this playlist often, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
