The 10th instalment of the annual SA Hip Hop Awards (SAHHAs) was held on Friday night. This year’s ceremony was held virtually. Hosted by Sol Phenduka, the show featured performances by the likes of Big Zulu, Blxckie, Faith K and 25K. Following a strong year from Blxckie and Big Zulu, the two artists were major contenders for several of the night’s biggest awards.
Apart from winning the biggest award of the night, Song of the Year for his single Mali Eningi featuring Riky Rick and Intaba Yase Dubai, Big Zulu took home six other awards. No artist has matched this haul in the awards’ history.
His other awards included the Best Digital Sales award (best-selling song or album on iTunes and at other digital stores), and the Album of the Year, Best Collabo, Best Male and Best Video awards. He also took home the Ubuntu Activism award for his “efforts to promote, impede, direct, or intervene in social, economic, or environmental reform with the desire to make changes in society”.
