UNIVERSITY OF COTTON FEST CREATIVE PROGRAMME ANNOUNCES THE CLASS OF 2026 MIXED TAPE

Hip-hop. Amapiano. R&B. Afropop. Trap. Alternative. All of it. Real voices. Real stories. Real art.

Likers of Things

Riky Rick believed in young people before the world caught up and through the University of Cotton Fest Creative Programme, that belief is still building.

The UCF Class of 2026 is here. 10 Open Mic alumni. One bootcamp. One producer (the legendary @mashbeatz_twc). And a CottonFest Mixtape that sounds like everything SA hip-hop needed to say.

Hip-hop. Amapiano. R&B. Afropop. Trap. Alternative. All of it. Real voices. Real stories. Real art.

🎓 Graduation drops Thursday 26 March for media. On all streaming platforms Friday 27 March at 00h00.
From Durban to Cape Town, Limpopo to the Free State, the Eastern Cape to Mpumalanga the campus is everywhere.
We never die. We multiply.

🔗 Meet the class: @pegg.dbn @risky_t_sa @billythegoat_official @polly_tsa @orchid_musiq @bizzy_achwesh @mxhosa_wase_greece @lebotrilogy @ninofresko @luukhanyoisart

There's a particular kind of confidence that only comes from having done the work. Not the loud, performative kind, but the quiet, grounded assurance of someone who looked at a dream, built it with their hands, and now stands inside it.

If a party leaves you with nothing but a sore head and a handful of blurry photos, it wasn't much of a night. Jägermeister's Haus of Kühl has always understood this,, and this year's edition arrives with even greater intention.

The pursuit of a music career carries a particular cost that rarely gets acknowledged in the songs themselves: the strain it places on the people closest to you.
