Meet Sosoboy Fosho, the East London rising star blending Hip‑hop, R&B, and Afropop into a bold new sound he calls Afro‑Trap. His lyrics, delivered in rich isiXhosa, paint vivid snapshots of love, ambition, and life in Mdantsane township.
Influenced by Burna Boy’s unapologetic authenticity, Sosoboy shows us that success doesn’t require losing yourself—it requires owning your story. That philosophy shines through in his work, especially in “Mine”, a romantic narrative that went viral after being featured on House of Zwide. That moment ignited his career and attracted Asanda Empires’ attention. A plane ride to Joburg and an offer later, and he was on a new trajectory.
With Pink Roses, his EP release, the Afro‑Trap energy thrives, exploring nuanced emotions and melodic strength. Collaborations with fellow grassroots artists speak to his commitment to growth and connection.
Whether he’s recording or scrolling, Sosoboy knows how to engage—social platforms are where he builds fans, where reels turn into stories, and where authenticity connects. His commitment to isiXhosa, to Mdantsane, and to unfiltered storytelling roots him firmly, even as he looks outwards.
Sosoboy Fosho is doing more than rap. He’s lighting a path for African music in global spheres—one Xhosa verse, one beat, one genuine story at a time.
