FLVME is one of South Africa’s hottest rising hip hop artists. Born Lesego Kyle Mnyandu in Vosloorus, South Africa, his career began in highschool, later joining Ambitiouz Entertainment’s musical group The Wrecking Crew in 2016, and eventually pursuing a solo career from March 2019. FLVME’s blazing career has seen him collaborate with South African hip hop heavyweights Nasty C, AKA, Da L.E.S, Zoocci Coke Dope, fellow Platoon artists Frank Casino and A-Reece, with international collaborations with the likes of DaVionne, Jay Millian and Donny Loc. With only five years in the music industry, FLVME has released chart-topping albums, from 2019’s now-certified Gold Germander to 2020’s D.O.
