SAMA25: Black Coffee in line for a clean sweep

It came as no surprise that one of the hardest working, internationally-lauded artists in South Africa, leads the pack with the most nominations.

Black Coffee spends more time scaling the decks of the most iconic venues in the world than any other urban musician in South Africa.

How he still finds the time to be at the forefront of reshaping the Deep House genre with more Black Coffee teases new music with Kelly Rowland is baffling.

Alas, the turntable maestro received five nominations, with his latest project Music is King, scoring him a place in the coveted Album of the Year, Artist of the Year, and Best Dance Album categories.

He also took up two places in the Collaboration of the Year category, increasing his chances of walking away with something on the night.
