Says Pitori Rappers Dont Have As Much Unity As Durban Rappers Speaking candidly about the state of the culture, Roiii highlighted what he sees as a gap in Pretoria’s approach. “We don’t have unity as much as the Durban broers do,” he said. “And it’s really dope to see you guys bring broers in also from Durban, because this is highlighting what we want the culture to look like.” His remarks reflect the perspective of an artist deeply rooted in Pitori’s evolving sound.

Known for its raw storytelling and distinctive Spitori flavour, Pretoria’s hip-hop scene has long produced standout talent. Still, it has at times struggled to build the same tightly connected ecosystem that has become Durban’s signature. Durban, on the other hand, has built a reputation for moving as a unit.

From emerging acts to established names, the city’s artists often collaborate, co-sign each other, and push a shared agenda that amplifies their collective reach. For Roiii, that model offers a clear path forward. “So, if I’m a broer that comes from Pitori, why not tap in with Day Sound because it’s also working,” he added.

“They’ve got their young movement going. As Pitori, I think that’s the first step. I’m fully for it.” Roiii’s remarks point to a growing belief that South African hip-hop’s next leap may depend less on individual breakthroughs and more on intentional collaboration across cities. By building bridges with Durban’s wave, Pretoria artists could expand their influence while exporting their own sound and identity.
