AKA: Ricson The Butcher
Recording Artist · Actor · Music Producer · Video Director
King Ric Lethabo TPL, also known as Ricson The Butcher, is a multi-genre recording artist, music producer, and video director rooted in the heart of Limpopo, South Africa. His artistry is shaped by the diverse cultural communities of the Mopani District — Sepedi, Xitsonga, and Tshivenda — channelling authentic African storytelling into sounds that resonate across boundaries.
Signed under KOTI ICT AND CONSULTING (PTY) LTD, King Ric has rapidly established himself as one of Limpopo's most versatile emerging voices. His creative range spans the log-drum bounce of Amapiano, the lyrical grit of SA Hip-Hop, the spiritual warmth of Gospel, and the emotive depth of Afro-Soul — a versatility that positions him uniquely in the current SA music landscape.
His debut album "I Am Music" confirmed his arrival with authority. Notable collaborations with Ntloge, Prince Leizer, and Malefredo have cemented his place in Limpopo's creative community, while recognition at the Vodacom Extraordinary Rewards Limpopo Music Awards marks a rising national profile.
As a creative actor, King Ric brings natural, unscripted energy to every role. Multi-lingual and deeply rooted in Limpopo's rural-to-urban experience, he is highly relatable to the largest, most underserved segment of South Africa's consumer market — authentic, aspirational, and culturally fluent across Sepedi, Xitsonga, Tshivenda and English.
Signed under KOTI ICT AND CONSULTING (PTY) LTD, King Ric is available for brand campaigns, TV and film roles, product endorsements, event performances, and creative collaborations with companies seeking genuine cultural resonance in township and rural Limpopo markets.
