RAPPER Kid-X has scored a TV show on the music channel, Trace Urban.
Kid-X, whose real name is Bonginkosi Mahlangu, will host a show called The Hanger, which will premiere on 24 April.
The 34-year-old from Middleburg in Mpumalanga told Daily Sun the show celebrates artistry and the work that goes on behind the scenes of some of Mzansi's favourite artists.
"This will be a 13-episode series bursting with talent from rising stars in amapiano, deejaying, hip-hop and Afro-soul. People must watch this space as there are more great musicians coming to the show," he said.

Some of the highlights from the show include a Cash Time reunion with Skhanda artist K.O, who will go down memory lane on his collaborations with Kid X, AKA, and the hit song Sete.
Kid X said he will be doing interviews with stars such as Mr. Jazziq, Pcee, Justin99, and Jayden Lanii to understand the rise and dancing force that is amapiano.
Mmathabo Tladi, executive producer at Amplified 85 Media, said she is happy with how the show will showcase Mzansi's talents.
"We take a journey to the North West to meet House of Honey soul artist Hadassah and define how her journey has kept her rooted in producing soul music. Sino Msolo performs his latest offering and sits with guest presenter award-winning DJ Sir Mmino to speak his experience in the music industry," she said.
Mmathabo said the show will also be on Spotify in May 2023 as a podcast.
She said their goal is to make sure artists are captured in their best element and show their talents to the world in different ways.
Valentine Gaudin-Muteba, managing director of Trace Southern and Lusophone Africa, said they can't wait to see viewers enjoy this new music show.
