Dear Family, friends & Supporters.

I wanted to take a moment to address the gap between my last project and my latest release, Back Outside EP alongside one of South Africa’s hottest producers @kingtipps_sa .

I know it’s been a while, and I appreciate your patience and loyalty 🙏🏽

The truth is, I needed to take some time for myself to reflect on my music, my life, and my mental health. I was struggling with depression, and it was affecting my creativity and overall well-being.

During this time, I didn’t stop making music entirely, but I did take a step back to re-evaluate my approach and find new inspiration.

I learned a lot about myself, my craft, events & the entertainment world as a whole, and I’m excited to share the fruits of my labor with you.

Back Outside EP is a reflection of my journey, with all its ups and downs. The project symbolises Failure, backstabbing, triumph & fear. It’s a project that’s true to myself, and I hope it resonates with you on a deep level.

Thank you for sticking with me through the silence. Your support means the world, and I’m grateful to have you all on this journey with me.

GOING FOR IT ALL ft. VIrkil Kaan & J-Style

Two creative forces, Sarah the Lyrical Activist and DJ Azuhl, are set to release a powerful EP in September 2024, blending razor-sharp lyricism with genre-bending production. Rooted in themes of social justice, empowerment, and cultural pride, the project fuses spoken word, conscious rap, boom bap, soulful samples, and African textures.

Sarah, a Cape Town-based poet and lyricist, is known for fearless storytelling that addresses inequality, gender rights, and systemic injustice. DJ Azuhl, a pioneer in South Africa’s DJ scene and a member of The Beat Bangaz, brings decades of sonic craftsmanship across hip hop, funk, and African grooves.

“This EP is a reflection of my journey,” says Sarah. “It’s about truth and inspiring change through art.” Azuhl adds, “We’re honoring activism in music while pushing the sound forward.”

The first single, “Mzansi,” drops 18/07/2025, setting the tone for a socially charged, rhythm-driven body of work.

2K25 Freestyle (Prod By Murder)

City don’t sleep, it hums.
Concrete got memory, bro.
Aku masih hidup, ya — still breathing slow.

Block twenty-five, lift smell like kopi and rust,
kids talk dreams but they fade like dust.
Mom still prays, dad count bills,
I count scars under neon chills.
Half my boys in debt, half in cell,
half act rich just to hide that smell.
Grew up bilingual in a shrinking room,
English for job, Malay for doom.

Aku bangun lagi, same road, same fight,
mata merah, no sleep last night.
Lion City tak kasih peluang, bro,
you run too slow, you drown below.

We talk fast, move slow — Singa flow,
HDB dreams, still broke though.
CPF dry, bills pile like haze,
future stuck in the ERP maze.
She said “study hard, son, go abroad,”
I said “money tight, I just record.”
They call this peace, I call this cage,
I rap to breathe, I rap to age.

Aku bangun lagi, same road, same fight,
mata merah, no sleep last night.
Lion City tak kasih peluang, bro,
you run too slow, you drown below.

Beneath the glass, I see my face,
half Malay blood, half rat race.
No flex, no fame, just stay alive,
’cause in this place only rent survive.
Beneath the glass, I see my face,
half Malay blood, half rat race.

Aku bangun lagi, same road, same fight,
mata merah, no sleep last night.
Lion City tak kasih peluang, bro,
you run too slow, you drown below.

City hums again.
Aku masih hidup.
Still breathing slow.

Aku bangun lagi, same road (Singapore Rap reload)


In celebration of Back to the City Festival, Nikki Newlands drops a bold statement with her latest mix — Trapp’in The City, a sonic snapshot of South Africa’s thriving hip hop scene.

Known for her ear for culture and ability to move between genres with effortless finesse, Nikki dives deep into the trap-infused heartbeat of Mzansi, blending the sounds of K. Keed, 25K, Frank Casino, Blxckie, Nasty C, KindlyNxsh, Flow Jones Jr., Priddy Ugly, and more.

This mix isn’t just about beats — it’s about identity, energy, and the rhythm of the streets. It’s the sound of Jozi nights, come-ups, late studio sessions, and every young creative pushing to make their mark.

Trapp’in The City pays homage to South African hip hop’s new wave — sharp, stylish, and fearless — and sets the tone for Nikki Newlands’ return to the decks with a mix that feels like both a love letter and a takeover.



Trapp'in The City Mix

Tribute top the late Kiernan Forbes aka....AKA

FORBES LISTED

A Cape Town fever dream with attitude. SMILEY kicks off with a coloured aunty swearing at some uncle in Afrikaans - “Ma Se Naai!” - setting the tone for the madness to come. The beat that follows? Dirty. South African flavor meets cosmic confidence. Think Blxckie, Nasty C, Eestbound, and Wondagurl all brawling in D minor at 140 bpm. The acoustic guitar cries, the 808s punch holes in your chest, and the bounce turns you into your own gang. Funny and fearless, this one’s for when you need to remind the streets who you are.

The entire sound is in my hands. I write cyber poetry, produce, and compose every track ready for Immersive 3D. Every beat is crafted for spatial and next-gen headphones.
Intimate lyrics, total immersion, every track.

For 30 years I kept unfinished demos to myself, never letting them out. Now I finish what I start and release it the moment it’s alive.

I use every tool available, human or machine, as an instrument.
Technology doesn’t replace creativity. It expands it.

from the streets...to the World.
