What’s The Qwell Weekend

"What’s The Qwell" takes its name from a popular South African phrase meaning “What’s the word?” or “What’s going on?”—a callout to stay in the know, stay tapped in, and stay ahead of the vibe.

This fresh MTV Base music block is your weekend unlock — the go-to destination for everything hot, hyped, and happening in music and youth culture. Think of it as a digital dive into the energy of the streets, the clubs, the timelines — wherever the culture is moving, that’s the Qwell.

The visual identity draws inspiration from the digital world of folders, files, and pop-ups — each “folder” is a curated vibe, mood, or theme that MTV Base will be qwelling into. Whether it’s the hottest amapiano drops, hip-hop heat, or genre blends straight from the block, “What’s The Qwell” is the plug-in point for the weekend.
