The accolade was given to him in recognition of his achievements within the local hip-hop culture, specifically within the province. DJ Ready was up against other industry contributors and the category invites nominations from anyone making moves that benefit the hip-hop industry, including event organisers and promoters.

"The team at Good Hope FM are thrilled to be celebrating this well-deserved award with Ready, who hosts the Ready D Show on the station from Monday to Thursday from 21:00 to 23:00. The South African Hip Hop Awards are highly regarded and understandably sought-after," says Brendan Ficks, Good Hope FM station manager 

"Everyone at Good Hope FM wishes Ready D huge congratulations – there’s no doubt he deserves it and he is very loved by our listeners," adds Ficks. "The hip-hop industry in South Africa has become well established as one of the fastest growing subcultures in local music."
