A-Reece Names HHP’s “Acceptance Speech” As His Favourite South African Album. South African hip-hop fans are buzzing after Pretoria rap star A-Reece revealed his all-time favourite South African album: HHP’s Acceptance Speech.
The moment came during a laid-back chat on Kreative Korner, a platform that celebrates local creatives and music culture. When asked directly, “Baby Boy, what’s your favourite South African album of all time?” A-Reece answered without hesitation.
“HHP – Acceptance Speech,” he said, giving a simple but powerful salute to one of the most influential projects in South African hip-hop.
Originally released in 2009, Acceptance Speech was a defining project for Hip Hop Pantsula (HHP, born Jabulani Tsambo). The Mafikeng legend, widely recognised as a pioneer of modern South African rap, delivered 17 tracks packed with introspective lyrics, sharp social commentary, and the infectious flow of Motswako. The album earned critical acclaim and helped HHP receive long-overdue recognition, including a South African Music Award (SAMA) in a category that had previously overlooked his earlier work.
For A-Reece, the choice carries personal significance. He has often credited HHP for inspiring him to take his craft seriously, including buying physical albums and learning from the legends who came before him.
In a time when South African hip-hop is gaining global attention, A-Reece’s choice reminds fans of the genre’s rich history. From HHP’s pioneering Motswako sound to A-Reece’s introspective, independent artistry, the torch continues to pass, and sometimes the new bearer simply stops to say thank you.
