Born and bred in Johannesburg, Manu WorldStar, real name Emmanuel Mutendji, is an emerging hip hop artist with his sights
firmly set on reaching the pantheon of South African musical greats.
Manu first gained national acclaim in 2017 when he competed in the
popular hip hop talent search, Vuzu Hustle, eventually placing in the
top 10.
But Manu’s journey truly began in 2015 when he made the final four
of music competition, Jack Scouts. This experience saw him
mentored by industry heavyweights K.O, Culoe de Song and DJ
Speedsta. Over the past few years, Manu has been featured on a
host of media lists, including: Live Magazine’s“13 artists to look out
for in 2016” alongside the likes of EmTee, Nasty C and Fifi Cooper;
“Mixtape of the Week” on Slikouronlife for his debut mixtape From
