Touchline Dispels Rumors About The Qwellers Losing Their Momentum
Touchline has decisively addressed rumors suggesting that The Qwellers are losing their edge, emphasizing that the dynamic collective is still in the early stages of their ascent and continues to invigorate the South African hip hop scene.
During an appearance on Slikour On Life, the rapper from Tembisa was straightforward: “They’ve only been active for about two years. It’s far too soon to say they’re falling off.”
He commended their steady progress and the importance of allowing artists the necessary time to develop their craft. “Everyone needs space to grow and find their voice. The Qwellers are clearly on a promising path. I have nothing but respect for what they’re doing.” Touchline also highlighted how the group has reignited enthusiasm among younger audiences who identify with their journey. “They’ve breathed new life into our culture, giving young people a sense of pride and connection because they see themselves reflected in the crew.”
Touchline’s support was also rooted in a personal experience. He recounted a moment that foreshadowed their potential: “While filming a movie, two members of The Qwellers freestyled for me on set. I was blown away by their talent, even before I knew they were part of the group. It was some of the most impressive freestyle I’d ever heard.”
Since then, The Qwellers have carved out a unique space for themselves, cultivating a dedicated fanbase and influencing the culture with their distinctive slang, rhythm, and community-driven values. Touchline views this cultural impact as a sign of growth rather than decline. “Seeing how far you’ve come-hosting your own festivals, shaping the language and style of the scene-bafethu siyabonga. Keep pushing forward.”
With endorsements like Touchline’s and a history of grassroots development, The Qwellers’ narrative is better understood as a foundation-building journey rather than a downturn. His message serves as a call to the industry: allow artists the time to evolve, let movements mature organically, and evaluate success over the long term instead of reacting to fleeting trends.
