DJ Tira vs Maphorisa: Who will claim the bragging rights?
It will be hard to pick a victor in the contest and more than anything, it is less about who the winner will be and more about the celebration of culture.
But, let us be honest for a second. Maphorisa is a formidable opponent with enough artillery to smoke any opposition. However, we are talking about the originator of Thank You Mr DJ.
Here are three reasons why we believe DJ Tira is coming out victorious in tonight’s match-up.
The diversity of his music catalogue
Tira has had notable success in many genres. From his old days killing Deep House sets with DJ Sox, to his fiery braggadocious verse on AKA’s FREE, he has enough juice in the tank to go on for hours with his diverse music catalogue.
His raucous fanbase
Sure, Maphorisa has risen to become one of the most successful artists in South Africa but no fanbase is as raucous as those from Durban. In their eyes, DJ Tira is the second-coming of Shaka Zulu and they will make their presence known in the comments tonight, for sure.
He is the more likeable of the two
Let’s face it, how you come across to an audience is an important determinant in contests. People are less interested in the intricacies of your style or how you transitioned from that one hit song to the next. It is more about how you relate to others and suffice it to say, Tira is first-choice in this regard.
