Cape Town’s hip hop Grandmaster, Ready D, has been nominated for Best Radio Show at the ninth SA Hip Hop Awards.
Deon Daniels, aka Ready D, needs YOUR vote to help him make history.
The heat is on as his radio station, Good Hope FM, goes up against Motsweding FM.
The iconic DJ has been in the running for the award for the past eight years, but has never been neck-and-neck with national giants such as 5fm and Metro FM before.
The Ready D Show airs Monday to Thursday, 9pm to 11pm.
Ready D, 51, says: “When GHFM station manager Natano Brache asked me to do this show 10 years ago, I was excited.
“The first three years were a bit of a rocky phase because I didn’t quite have the voice for radio, I came in with my plat Kaapse accent.
“If we win this award, it’s not just an award for GHFM or the Ready D show, but for Cape Town to be recognised.”
Show producer Tyron Da Silva, aka DJ Eazy E, worked on the Ready D show for five years.
undefinedHe says: “No one deserves this award more than Ready D, he’s been for the culture since day one.
“It’ll just be amazing to finally see his work being recognised and his living legacy celebrated.”

The closing date is 26 November.
The awards will be aired on SABC1 on 12 December.
