Cape Town-based hip-hop duo, 3Face & Cee, are back with their latest single, “Communicate This,” a track that embodies their message of straightforwardness and honesty. Known for their high-energy performances and unique blend of funk, hip-hop, and rap, 3Face & Cee continue to push the boundaries of their sound with this new release. “Communicate This” was born out of frustration with the insincerity that many face daily. The single tackles this issue head-on, encouraging listeners to say what they mean directly and to embrace a real, unfiltered approach to communication. The duo explains, “We wanted to make a track that says, ‘If you’ve got something to say, say it to my face,’ even if it’s not all positive. It’s a call for straightforwardness and owning your truth, no matter what.”

This single marks a shift from their previous releases, showcasing a more intense and raw side of the duo. While they’ve made a name for themselves with danceable tracks that light up any room, “Communicate This” delves into the more serious side of their artistic vision, maintaining their signature energy but with a sharper, more direct message. As 3Face & Cee put it, “We wanted to show our fans that we don’t just make funky dance music; we can get people to mosh at a show as well.”
The creation of “Communicate This” was a rapid process, with the song coming together in just one week. After jamming on the guitar and keyboard, they laid down the foundation, and the verses quickly followed. The track was performed live in Johannesburg a week later at the Hunters Jacquel House, receiving an enthusiastic response from both the audience and industry heavyweights like Musa Keys, Shekinah, and Tresor. This positive reception motivated the duo to release the track without delay.
As 2024 progresses, the duo continue to grow both musically and personally. Their confidence in blending different styles and experimenting within their sound is evident in “Communicate This.” They have embraced a transparent and unfiltered approach in both their music and public persona, a reflection of their deeper understanding of who they are as artists. This year has also seen the launch of the Alien Gang community, a movement aimed at spreading high energy and empowering those who feel alienated to fully embrace their true selves.
Looking ahead, fans can expect even more music and live performances from 3Face & Cee. With six shows already under their belt this year and plans to hit all the major festivals, the duo is set to bring their vibes to audiences across South Africa. “Communicate This” is just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting year for the duo as they continue to connect with their fans and spread their message of authenticity and self-expression.
