What would a summer be without Jabba? 

We'd say not much, if the sad passing of iconic South African Hip Hop, Hip Hop Pantsuala, aka HHP, aka Jabba, is the angle from which we lament the gaping hole he's left in for the industry and for the culture. Truly, his smooth and lush rhythms will leave the sunny days without the Motswako flavours he brought to his distinct sounds. The nostalgia, the township spirit and the live instrumentation will be triggers of a recent past millions will cherish for ever - a time in history brought to life by Jabba's timeless soundtracks. 

But as many have suggested, a better way to deal with Jabba's demise is by celebrating the indelible mark he has left in the culture. His bevy of timeless classics leave us with an unparalleled catalogue of jams that elevate not just the lush summers, but get us in our feels in every season! Who can compare those melodies on Music N Lights? Who can birth a street anthem that will set ablaze crowds at every festival like Jabba did with Harambe? Indeed, there will be no other master to brew hits that can play at the arsenal of Mpitse, Tswaka, Let Me Be, Bosso... and so many more.
