VOW 88.1 VOW BREAKFAST

In Conversation with Bongumusa Sipho Dlamini aka Cy.

Loading player...
Bongumusa Sipho Dlamini, professionally known as Cy, is a rising hip-hop artist from Durban’s culturally rich suburb of Isipingo Hills. With a passion for storytelling that began at just 10 years old, Cy has spent years refining his craft, drawing inspiration from legendary lyricists like Mos Def, Kendrick Lamar, and J. Cole. His music is a powerful fusion of introspective themes, poetic wordplay, and rhythmic innovation—anchored in his South African roots but influenced by a broad spectrum of global sounds, including the work of Drake, AKA, and Nasty C. This dynamic blend allows Cy to craft music that is both thought-provoking and widely accessible, bridging local authenticity with international appeal.
