Lockdown in South Africa has bred numerous innovations, but none have been as effective in providing up-and-coming artists a platform to be discovered than Rap A Verse with Kwesta<\/strong>, a collaboration between SAMA-winning and record-setting rapper, Kwesta<\/strong> and Jameson<\/strong>, the best-selling Irish Whiskey in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born under Jameson Connects: The Stay Inn<\/strong>, a playbook of live virtual events brought to you by Jameson<\/strong>, Rap A Verse with Kwesta<\/strong>gave aspiring rappers the dream opportunity to potentially collaborate with Kwesta on a single and receive a trip for two to the Jameson Distillery in Ireland.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After 1 420 competition entries were received over a 5 week period, Kwesta had the hard task of going through every single entry before narrowing down his choices. While Kwesta admits there were some chancers, the majority of the entries were of a high calibre which only made his job more difficult.\u00a0

\u201cI was looking for someone who wants to make music, who lives for this thing, who has a dream of making music,\u201d Kwesta expresses. \u201cBeyond that, I didn\u2019t just want one good verse, I wanted to see something in the person with that little verse. I wanted to feel that there was something more behind this verse and the artist. I wanted to feel the continuation of a career.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
