Main Points
Kush has named Sahai, Mafi and Drew as the three male local artists he currently rates most highly, pointing to lyricism, talent and creativity as the qualities behind his selections.
During a wide-ranging podcast conversation about the music industry, Kush described Sahai as one of the most lyrical and talented artists in the country. He also placed Mafi among his top choices and highlighted Drew, who he said has remained active behind the scenes despite not releasing as much music publicly.
Kush made it clear that the names were not necessarily being placed in a strict first, second and third order. Instead, he said all three stood out to him for different reasons.
He later spoke extensively about Drew’s abilities as a producer and musician, saying people who only know him from outside the studio may not realise how much talent he possesses.
According to Kush, working around talented musicians has also reinforced his belief that artists should be judged on their work regardless of friendships, disagreements or personal history.
