about

Somdanger is a neo-kwaito club banger where Robin Thirdfloor pays tribute to the Durban nightlife. The rapper defines somdanger as a township slang word for someone who is fearless and lives life by their own rules.

Press Quotes

“Somdanger” finds [Robin Thirdfloor] venturing across the pond to rap over a heavy but soothingly aqautic club production. Though there’s a basic kwaito framework to the drums, this is a different, more electronic production than what Robin is used to, and the whole arrangement has a Johannesburg toughness about it. – RapSeedTV.com

Platformed on a high tempo instrumental, Robin Thirdfloor dropped one jiggy offering with this Somdanger’, as its clean and classic with its delivery from the moment you press play. – Hype Magazine South Africa

Umlazi-born-and-bred hip hop, kwaito songsmith Robin Thirdfloor, aka Simphiwe Nyawose, has yielded a sinister, infectious and unperturbed piece of work [with Somdanger]. In his latest offering, Robin Thirdfloor fabricates a listener’s trip of a particularly vicarious and nostalgic nature. Exploring and elaborating on various facets of his hometown, ‘Somdanger’, defined as slang for a fearless maverick, unrelenting to the world which surrounds him, encompasses a juxtaposition of piercing melodies alongside bass-drenched, enthralling synths. Perhaps unintentionally, the sinister ‘Sondanger’ incorporates components which appear engulfing in their own rights, as if Nyawose’s carefully-constructed, individual elements feed off one another, competing for temperament. Fortunately as local charts show, in the fight for the focal point alongside the Durbanite’s fierce, albeit knowledgeable lyricism, these components blend all too effectively. A fierce and relentless display of home-town nostalgia. – Texx and the City

The rapper has proven that we should not sleep on him, under any circumstances. The video for this joint is sick as hell. Granted, the kasi concept is not something terribly new but so is Robin Thirdfloor’s style, but that doesn’t mean it’s not something we should proudly fukx with. His sound has that 70’s and 80’s drums and baselines- that old school type of vibe. The visuals for this joint are crisp but also show a the grime of the hood. I appreciated, among many others, the psychedelic use of colour and saturation which gives this video an old school feel. Zkhiphani
