Founded 6 years ago by the four members, the group has grown at large having broken many boundaries, with their style of music fuses influences from electro, rock, house and kwaito. In 2011 they released their 1st mixtape titled “Medal of Swag”, which had a great response from fans. As a result the mixtape was sold out, which earned them popularity in the Western and Eastern Cape regions. “Medal o
f Swag” also got airplay from many community radio stations around the country having played three of the singles from the mixtape. The success of the mixtape sparked waves to many event organisers, which led to the crew sharing stages with some of South Africa’s finest artists like Teargas, Tumi & The Volume and AKA just to name a few. The group has also appeared on SABC2s youth program Hectic Nine9 show where they were interviewed and performed their hit single “Mali Yonke”. The group’s reputation is slowly but surely building up as they were also invited to perform at the Hansa Pilsners Special Ingredient Search, where we made it into the top 60 and from there we made it into the top 10. The show was a success and left the crowd lost for words.
2012 was yet another great year for the young musicians, having performed at many festivals such as the Gugulethu Beer & Whisky Festival, The City Of Cape Towns Youth Day festival & many more. As 2013 neared eX-Hoza released the 2nd musical inspiration, a mixtape titled M.A.F.I.A, “MUSIC AND FAME IN AFRICA”. Just like the previous mixtape M.A.F.I.A did cause a big wave for the group as its journey in the music industry continues. This opened yet more possibilities for the young musicians, 1st was a local clothing brand MOS NATIVE CLOTHING offering them an opportunity to be part of their ambassador’s team then were also featured in the November issue of Rolling Stone Magazine.
2013 is now here & they still set on their journey to being Africa’s finest. This year the mission is to grow the eX-Hoza brand nationally not only on the music forefront but also as the youth ambassadors for our community & the youth of our beloved country. Recently the group featured on a song by one of Nigeria’s upcoming artists known as SkypFour, the song is a hit on Nigerian radio & has gone beyond 20 000 downloads on Naijaloaded.com which well shows that the group is on the right track on its endeavour’s. Recently they've been invited to perform in one of Africa's biggest festivals AfrikaBurn which took place in the Northen Cape desert from the 1st to 6th May 2013. This has been a great accomplishment for the group as they are the 1st hip-hop act to grace the shores of this festival. At the rate things are goiing for te group it is evident they are destined for greater heights
