Justin Govender is a Johannesburg-born rapper who made the move to Durban in 2017. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic and his mother getting sick, Justin has had to make the move back to the City of Gold temporarily. 

Whilst on Instagram, J Sbu came across a music video by Adrenalin, the stage name of Justin - and it grabbed his attention! For J Sbu, it was not so much the incredible rap flow or lyricism, but the use of Tamal in the artistry that really made him beam with pride. 

Adrenalin is not a new artist, however. He has had several radio interviews and most notably appeared on 'SA's Got Talent' in 2013.
