Emtidozf’s “Pull Up” Gains International Radio Attention Through PDX Radio South African independent hip-hop artist Emtidozf continues to build international momentum with his single “Pull Up,” which has received recorded airplay on PDX Radio in the United States. Johannesburg-based independent artist Emtidozf, also known as Mfundo Mangola, is continuing to attract attention beyond South Africa with his single “Pull Up.”
Released in May 2025, the hip-hop track has continued to generate activity on streaming platforms and through independent playlist exposure, with listeners from international markets discovering the record. One of the latest developments in the song’s journey is its appearance in PDX Radio’s recorded playlist history, where “Emtidozf – Pull Up” has been documented playing on multiple occasions.
PDX Radio operates a listener-focused system that allows its audience to request and vote for songs, with the station stating that listener support can help push songs higher on its charts. The platform also features independent hip-hop and R&B artists through radio airplay, charts, interviews and audience engagement. For Emtidozf, the PDX activity represents another step in the continued international journey of a record created independently from South Africa.
“I made ‘Pull Up’ independently, so seeing the record continue to reach people outside South Africa means a lot to me,” says Emtidozf. “Every time the song reaches a new audience, it reminds me that the journey is bigger than where I started.” The record has also attracted listeners internationally, particularly from markets including the United States and Canada, while continuing to receive attention through independent playlist activity.
Rather than relying on a major-label machine, Emtidozf has been building his audience independently and using each opportunity to expand the reach of his music. With “Pull Up” continuing to find new listeners, Emtidozf is now preparing for his next release, which will explore a more energetic side of his artistry and represent another stage in his development as a South African hip-hop artist.
