Botswana Hip Hop
Hip hop crews include The Wizards, a long-standing crew that fuses hip hop with ragga and R&B. The Insiderz, a recently formed crew focusing on spacey type beats blended with R&B and pop music. The national hip hop radio show Strictly Hip Hop, hosted by Draztik and Slim (both of the Cashless Society Crew and co-founders of Unreleased Records ), has done much for the Botswana scene. The record label Phat Boy is also a very important label for the genre. Magosi, Zeus, and Scar are among the most renowned artists in the country, as is the DJ turned artist Zibanani. As far as motswako goes, Botswana has the best tswakalistas in the world.
