Stogie T’s “Four Horsemen” Selected Best Hip Hop At Metro FM Music Awards 2026. The atmosphere at the Durban International Convention Centre was electric as the Metro FM Music Awards 2026 recognized Stogie T and his talented partners Nasty C, Maggz, and A-Reece, honoring them with the Best Hip Hop award for their impactful track, “Four Horsemen.”
The song, taken from Stogie T’s 2025 release Anomy, stood out in a competitive category. It brought together four unique voices to deliver a powerful message about the cultural landscape.
As the winner was announced, the audience in Durban erupted with excitement, reflecting the significance of the moment. Stogie T, a veteran in the industry for over twenty years, appeared visibly moved as he accepted the honor. A shift occurred in the venue from jubilant celebration to focused silence, before returning to loud applause as the achievement set in.
The collaboration represented a thoughtful merging of different styles and generations. Stogie T’s powerful lyrics combined seamlessly with Nasty C’s precision, A-Reece’s introspective nature, and Maggz’s seasoned approach. Critics have noted that the track serves as a reflective piece on authority, self-identity, and resurgence within the South African hip hop scene. Focusing on lyrical strength, the song reinforced the genre’s dedication to storytelling and artistic skill.
Earlier this year, Stogie T found himself nominated among formidable artists such as K.O, Cassper Nyovest, Big Zulu, Emtee, Yanga Chief, Makwa, and Kwesta. The victory now marks a pivotal moment, affirming his long-standing belief in the enduring power of genuine artistry.
Beyond the award itself, this triumph held greater implications for the hip hop culture.
