4. ZEF MUSIC identifying traits

ZEF is a South African genre of rap. The word 'Zef' meaning 'common but cool'. Zef music videos follow similar traits as other rap genres. 
These are just a few:

  • A lot of bling.
  • Close ups of faces, singing into the camera. Giving the effect of 'in your face'.
  • Buildings and street corners of the poorer areas in South Africa.
  • Bright and neon clothing. Ripped clothes, inappropriate or very 'out there, making a statement.
  • Writing, graffiti, and symbols of Zef music or the artist.
  • Other Zef musicians often feature in the videos.
