Rudeboyz

The duo was created in 2012 by Andile T and Masive_Q, two producers and friends who lived next door to each other who started creating beats together that carried the rhythmic and raw elements evolving from 90s Kwaito, South African house music and hip hop beats. Although new to the industry, RudeBoyz have peaked the interest of many international acts including UK’s Goon Club Allstars who have released their first ever vinyl EP (Rudeboyz EP, released in 2015), as well as other platforms from Radio Cómeme to Dazed Digital sharing their story and showcasing the gqom wave of a hypnotic layers of driving, intense, gratifying and slow-burning rhythms. Rudeboyz has continued to build strong relationships with local and international musical community and industry. As producers, alongside making their own tracks, they have expanded to working on original compositions of tracks, as well as remixes, with South African contemporaries such as Stilo Magolide, as well as champions of SA sounds like Matias Aguayo.
