Snazz D

Inspired by the hip-hop movement and culture developing on the Cape Flats at the height of Apartheid, with groups such as Prophets of Da City and Black Noise emerging, he began rhyming as a young teenager in the early nineties under the moniker Snazzy D.[2] In 1993 he relocated to Johannesburg, where his reputation grew.

[3] In 1996, Snazz formed the now cult-crew Audio Visual, together with Krook'd tha Warmonger (Isaac Chokwe) and Ben Sharpa (Kgotso Semela).

[4] In 1998 he co-founded the group Cashless Society, together with Draztik (Dave Balsher), Fat Free (Salim Mosidinyane), Black Intellect (Jerry Kai Lewis), X-Amount (Kwezi Ngcakani), Criminal (Alfred Chirwa), Tizeye (Tyrone Phillips) & Gemini (Thabiso Mofokeng).

Bobbito then released the split-12" single of Cashless Society "Blaze tha Breaks" b/w Mizchif "Place For A Wife" on his own Independent Fondle 'Em Records in 2000 upon their return to the States.

[8][9] In 2002 GroundWorks released their debut album "Demolition: The MeStory" on Concentration Camp Records with Snazz self-produced 'Copaesthetic Phenomenology'.

[10] GroundWorks were a collective of artists from the Johannesburg and Cape Town scenes including members of Audio Visual, Cashless Society and BaseMental Platform.

[11] Members of the group include Ben Sharpa, Krook'd tha Warmonga, Forekast, Gemini, Hueman, Non-Depiction, Bonafide, and S.E.L.F.

The album featured hit singles 'Hottentot Hop (Bantu 1, 2)' and 'Taxi Wars' with guest appearances by Tumi, Mizchif and Masauko of Blk Sonshine.

[15] The group was then photographed for the cover of the first issue of HYPE magazine, the first national hip-hop publication in South Africa.

[27] In 2012 he participated in the freestyle battle series "SCRAMBLES4MONEY - Talk Is Cheap" in Johannesburg where he lost to Fungus the Mutated Lung in the opening round of the competition.
