Money Badoo Demands Real Education For SA’s Next Generation Of Music Producers. Fresh off joining YFM as the new voices for hip hop culture, DJ Sliqe and Roiii wasted no time turning the mic toward the future of the game.
During a candid moment on The Agenda, Roiii laid it out plain: “Sliqe and I are doing this YFM thing. We wanna know from you how we can contribute back to the culture?”
Money Badoo, known for her raw energy and unfiltered takes, jumped in with a vision that hit hard and went deeper than the usual industry chatter.
“I think the best way to contribute to the culture is for us to think about ways that the youth can get educated on music,” she said. “Because I feel like the youth, even us in the room, we learn from making mistakes, and I feel like the youth dont need to make mistakes we made because we know about it now.”
She pointed straight at the gaps that still exist despite all the apps and online tutorials floating around. Technology helps, but it is not enough on its own. Badoo called for structured learning that starts early, even in primary school, so kids can begin producing properly instead of stumbling through trial and error.
Her proof walked right out of the headlines in the form of a 17-year-old talent she shouted out on the spot. “Shout out to the young Durag, he is a 17-year-old producer. He’s been to LA and back. He’s hosting a mansion party. 17-year-old and guess what? He taught himself all of that. But imagine he had the expertise.”
The room felt the weight of that example. Here was a teenager already moving at a professional level, self-taught and booking international trips, yet still operating without the kind of guidance that could accelerate his growth and protect him from the usual pitfalls.
Badoo did not stop at praise. She diagnosed a bigger problem that many in the scene quietly admit but rarely address out loud. “I think we downplay the creative industry, and that’s one thing I want to see being contributed to, let’s educate the youths for real.”
Her message landed at the perfect time. With Sliqe and Roiii now holding down Sunday evening slots on YFM, the platform suddenly has two established figures who have built careers through production and a genuine love for hip hop. Their decision to open the conversation about giving back signals a shift from simply playing hits to actively shaping the next wave.
South African music has always thrived on raw talent emerging from townships and bedrooms, but the grind often comes with expensive lessons in contracts, mental health, business basics, and technical skills. Badoo’s call flips the script: what if the next generation started with proper tools and knowledge instead of learning everything the hard way?
Young Durag’s story already proves the hunger is there. A self-made producer at 17 who has tasted LA studios and thrown mansion parties shows just how fast things can move when talent meets opportunity. Multiply that by hundreds of kids across the country who never get the right direction, and the potential wasted becomes clear.
Sliqe brings years of experience curating collaborations and spotting talent, while Roiii adds fresh perspective and media savvy. Together on YFM, they sit in a powerful position to push exactly the kind of initiatives Badoo described, whether through workshops, mentorship segments, or partnerships that bring real producers and engineers into schools.
The culture does not need more empty talk about unity. It needs practical steps that treat music as a serious craft worthy of early investment, just like sports or academics. Money Badoo made it simple and urgent: stop downplaying the creative industry and start educating the youth for real.
As the new YFM era kicks off, the question Roiii asked now hangs in the air with real weight. How do we contribute back? The answer, at least according to one of the scene’s sharpest voices, begins with giving the next generation knowledge before they have to pay for it in mistakes.
