"Linda PRO Mkhize left a permanent mark in our hearts," says SPeeka. We reached out to South African hip-hop producer and kasi rap aficionado SPeeka to help us rank PRO's best 10 songs from great to simply awesome. The prolific rapper's catalogue consists of two classics, namely Heads & Tales and Dankie San which sit comfortably alongside his other notable releases. PRO inspired a generation of kasi rappers - his impact and influence are still felt to this day. The legendary South African lyricist is credited with being the father of kasi rap - a subgenre of South African hip-hop characterised by a heavy use of punchlines and storytelling mostly in isiZulu and tsotsitaal (Gauteng township slang). Editor's note: August 8 marks the day PRO (known as ProKid earlier in his rap career) made a quiet exit from this earth.
