Buffalo Based Rapper Takes Over Music Festival In South Africa
A common saying goes something like: "You can always find a Buffalo connection."

With Buffalo's DJ Kholes as his DJ, the Butcher took the stage and gave the world a taste of what it was like living and growing up in Buffalo, New York State's second-largest city.
Social media comments show that African hip-hop fans love Buffalo hip-hop just like we do, which again solidifies the 716 as the home of New York rap.
