Slikour Crowns Roiii’s Artistry With A Generational Co-Sign. South African hip hop stalwart Slikour has placed a clear spotlight on Roiii’s artistry, using the rapper’s latest Freestyle Friday entry, “Ko Moraho,” as live proof that the Skhanda talent is shaping into a craftsman with real staying power. The reaction centres on skill, intent, and musical judgment, not just a viral moment.
In a detailed Instagram note, Slikour called Roiii one of the best in his generation and explained why. He listed articulation, in-the-pocket timing on any beat, the ability to rap with substance, musicality, the perfectionist tardiness many great artists share, and a fearless ear for challenging beats.
He added that he has heard Roiii’s work-in-progress project and wrote, “I don’t think y’all understand what kind of skill it needs to do what he does. In fact, you might need to be born with it.” Slikour also credited @mrcashtime and @tsholosa for recognising the talent early.
On “Ko Moraho,” those claims surface line by line. Roiii’s consonants cut through the low end, his vowels settle into the groove, and his breath control allows full thought-lines to reach the listener without crowding the bar. He moves between a conversational tone and a performance voice, which keeps the verse musical while preserving bar density. The beat is sparse and unforgiving, yet he treats the space like a canvas, placing internal rhymes and measured pauses that make punchlines and images land with clarity.
All of these points lead to a simple conclusion. Roiii is not just improving his skill set. He is maturing into an author of his sound, with choices that reflect identity rather than fashion. That is the foundation of longevity in South African hip hop. If he continues to pair a sharpened pen with intentional musical direction and careful curation, the conversation will keep moving from promise to authority, and the next body of work will feel less like a debut of talent and more like a statement of ownership.
