South African rap phenom Blxckie returns with a fresh new track in support of Sprite’s branded music initiative. For Sprite Limelight’s third season, the award-winning rapper takes part in the campaign by introducing his latest offering, “South,” produced by Grammy-nominated duo Take a Daytrip.
LISTEN HERE via Def Jam Recordings.
The original track is centered around a concept that Take A Daytrip created, who Sprite engaged to serve as music directors for season three. Blxckie joins a diverse group of international artists, including Young Miko from Puerto Rico, Fireboy DML from Nigeria, XAMÃ from Brazil, Lay Zhang from China, Doechii from the United States, and Mahalia from Great Britain for this season. Each artist had full creative control over how they wanted to tweak the hook according to their artistic vision, in an effort to share their stories about how they stay cool under life’s everyday stress and tension.
“South” demonstrates Blxckie’s ability to succinctly describe how he handles adversity, distilling complicated situations into catchy hooks with his conversational flow. The accompanying video showcases his come-up in real time, spliced with footage from the past that delves into how he became the man he is today – WATCH HERE.
On the fast track towards a mainstream breakthrough, Blxckie’s latest entry follows on from his major label debut EP, see u soon. The project set the stage for a wildly successful 2024, which includes a recent nomination for ‘Best International Flow’ at the 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards.
