🎙️ School’s Not Out with Jay Jeazy | Episode 5
State of SA Hip Hop | Save SA Film | Grammys 2026 | Global Influence

This episode dives deep into the state of South African Hip Hop and its position in the global conversation — artistically, politically, and economically.

We unpack the Grammys 2026, including the controversial moment where Kendrick Lamar took Best Rap Album over Clipse. Was it about artistry, legacy, politics, or industry comfort? What does that decision say about how excellence is rewarded — and who gets left on the margins when culture meets institutions?

Back home, we address the reality many won’t say out loud:
Stogie T delivered one of the best Hip Hop albums last year, bar for bar, concept for concept — yet conversations around recognition remain quiet. At the same time, Nasty C stood as the hottest MC of 2025, dominating impact, reach, and relevance, proving that South African Hip Hop isn’t chasing the world — it’s shaping it.

But Hip Hop doesn’t exist in isolation.

We shift the lens to Save SA Film — a necessary conversation about the rights of film workers in South Africa. From writers, directors, actors, crew, editors, and producers — we interrogate unfair contracts, delayed payments, lack of royalties, weak intellectual property protection, and the absence of long-term security for creatives who build the industry from the ground up.

Who owns the work?
Who profits from our stories?
Why are creatives expected to survive on passion while corporations benefit from permanence?

This episode is about defending the culture, across music and film. It’s about demanding systems that respect labour, protect intellectual property, and recognise African excellence on our own terms — not only when it’s validated overseas.

📚 School’s Not Out is not just a podcast — it’s a space for critical thinking, uncomfortable truths, and unapologetic cultural analysis.
