The South African music industry has existed for decades; witnessing the rise and fall of many talented artists.
Over the years, we’ve recorded the fall of many artists due to their untimely deaths, but it’s quite saddening to see artists who are alive but with dead music careers.
In no time, these artists lost relevance in the music game and people easily moved on to the hot musicians.
The cause of this is usually not revealed by the artists, but some of the reasons include, record labels, music hiatus, relationships, zero hit songs, management, and a few others.
Some of these artists who have lost relevance are still in the game; releasing songs annually, but we hope they resuscitate their careers.
We will be sharing with you 20 South African music artists who have lost relevance.
Mlindo was undoubtedly one of the hottest vocalists in the music industry. His debut album topped charts and gained him multiple awards. However, it’s been a while he received awards for his recent songs, and he isn’t topping charts.
2. L-TIDO
L-Tido didn’t just lose relevance, he took a long break from the game and ended up as a podcast host. The rapper hosts other musicians on his platforms and ask them questions about their career and personal life.
3. KWESTA
Kwesta was one of the top rappers in the game; his unique voice shook mountains and the hearts of men. Months ago, he celebrated over a decade in the game, but the question here is, is the legend as hot as he used to be?
