Durban’s very own HCL (short for Hydrochloric) is back with his latest studio project titled the Fidel CashDro EP. It’s a wordplay by the MC on Hydro, Fidel Castro and “cash”. The project brings a variety of sounds ranging from Drill, Trap, Boom Bap to Afro Beats.
All songs on the EP are produced, written, recorded, mixed and mastered by HCL and features some of Durban’s most pristine rappers such as Mkay DA Business, Akixxi and Jabulani Cindi. The lead single “No Game” really set the tone by debuting on Gagasi FM’s Fresh Cut and Radio MUT’s Afternoon Hang Out in the same week it was released.
HCL had this to say: “With Fidel CashDro being my 5th project in my catalogue, it’s one of my favourites creatively I really feel excited about this one its like a Graduation through the school Of hard Knocks”

Affr
Drill emerged on Chicago's south side in the early 2010s, sounding similar to trap music. The sub-genre usually comprises of violent and dark elements, which pertain to everyday occurrences of crimes and street life.
Music is an international language for both Breeze Zulu Bass King and 808RSA as they are inspired by diverse sounds and music not just locally but also around the world.
These two Durban-born artists have combined the Drill sound with local elements to create what they call AFRICAN DRILL. It is a combination of African chants, drums, instrumentation and folk song yet still embodying the essence of Drill.
African Drill was released on November 11th 2022, and features MusiholiQ, singer and songwriter Thabsie on the country’s first RnB Drill Hit “Forever” and Lex LaFoy, FluxC Benzo, Trusted SLK and Lenn Frisco on the closing track “Ayasaba Amagwala”.
