KZN's very own takes the number 1 spot on MTV Base's 'Hottest MC' list
Updated | By Stacey and J Sbu
Some might be shocked but we're not surprised!
In 2014, MTV Base introduced their 'Hottest MCs' list.

Since then the list has been called everything from "controversial" to "necessary".
It's sparked some major debates about who truly qualifies as an MC and who is deserving of the title.

But that's to be expected from any list, as no matter what you do, there are going to be haters.
Last year the list caused some major drama when Busiswa was the only female that featured. She even took to Twitter to blast the panel for adding her as the "token female".

This year, it seems like the majority of people are satisfied with the list, which was released over the weekend.
Last year also saw Focalistic take the top spot and fans predicted he would be placing high again.

Unfortunately, he doesn't feature this year, but we're sure he'll be back in the rankings next year.
However, we are happy to see that a KZN local is the number one Hottest MC in the country - the one and only Blxckie!
