    Jabulani Tsambo

Hip Hop Pantsula (HHP) is a popular South African Motswako rapper who's real name is Jabulani Tsambo. He is also popularly known as Jabba. He was raised in Mmabatho. He raps in many South African languages like Setswana, Sesotho, IsiZulu, etc.

His style of music is known as Motswako, which means "mixture" in Setswana. He also has a 12piece band. The band consists of 6 ladies (Bass player, Alto Sax, Trombone, Keyboard, 2 backing singers) and 6 guys (Guitarist, Keyboards, Drums, 2 backing singers and Jabba himself).

Jabba's break came in 1997 when he and his school friends met with renowned producer Chicco Twala who produced their debut album called 'Party'. The band split soon after the release. Tsambo met singer/producer Isaac Methethwo who then worked full swing on his debut album and this resulted in 'Introduction'.

HHP appeared on the third one-off TV special of quiz show Test The Nation, entitled National Parenting Test, as the Team Captain representing fathers. In 2007 he won the third season of the reality dance show Strictly Come Dancing along with his professional dance partner Hayley Bennet.

His hits include the smash single from his O Mang Reloaded album Tswaka, Jabba and Tshwara both from YBA 2 NW, to mention but a few.

Pantsula frequently uses the phrase "Maf-town" in his music; which refers to his hometown, Mafikeng, of South Africa's North West province. He was honoured in September 2007 as one of the people from Maf-town who have excelled in their fields in the inaugural Maftown Golden Stars Awards held at the Mmabana Convention Centre.

HHP released his new album Acceptance Speech in December 2007 and this was highly successful in South Africa and beyond with hits like Music & Lights.
