The Port Elizabeth-born and bred musician is the latest hip-hop sensation to come out of South Africa. “Dames” is the first single off of his debut album Big Bigger Biggy, which was released in May.
The track recently started gaining more recognition when it went viral, with social media users creating memes and videos based on the catchy beat and popular lyrics, specifically the chorus – “Dames, sê my wat jou naam is, my name is Adriaanus!”, which translates to “Ladies tell me what your name is, my name is Adriaanus."
With his unconventional style and fusion of hip-hop and electronic dance combined with his storytelling and lyrical approach, Biggy’s accelerated rise to fame will see him start to make appearances at some of the country’s biggest festivals and ‘one to watch’ for fans of the genre.
