| Gearing up for a prolific season, award-winning South African rapper Blxckie unleashes a new single entitled “all faxx” out today via Def Jam Recordings. LISTEN HERE.On the track, bass plods through a cinematic sample of a plucked harp accented by taut and tense hi-hats. As strings swoon, the speed of his delivery fluctuates, and he drops bold bars with fire and finesse. Flaunting an uncompromising cadence and airtight wordplay, the momentum culminates on the chantable chorus, “I need some racks. I need more racks.“ At the end of last year, he made his Def Jam Recordings debut with “Back Into It.” It has already reeled in over 1 million streams and counting. Plus, it landed plugs from Global Grind and many more. Recently, Blxckie wrapped up his first-ever North American tour supporting Dreamville‘s own BAS. In other big news, Sprite personally handpicked him for the Sprite Limelight Campaign. Making history, he stands out as “the first Def Jam Recordings artist to be picked for the program.“ Next up, he’ll shoot a spot for the campaign in his hometown of Durban, South Africa. However, everything bulldozes the way for his forthcoming new EP—due out soon. Fondly known to his following as SOMNYAMA, Blxckie has continually displayed a remarkable work ethic – which is heard on countless hit records, culture shifting collaborations and at live shows; and has extended his reach to broader audiences, earning him this international breakthrough signing with renowned Hip Hop label Def Jam. Blxckie holds an impressive array of accolades including a South African Music Award for Best Hip-Hop Album; a nomination at the Metro FM Music Awards; five nods at the South African Hip Hop Awards; two All Africa Music Awards nominations, and a BET Hip Hop award nomination for Best International Flow in 2022. |
