Cape Town based hip-hop artists YoungstaCPT and RAF DON are set to captivate
audiences today with their latest collaborative effort called You Know The Drill, a project that is said to have been birthed out of a shared vision and musical chemistry that promises to redefine the landscape of South African drill music.
The new wape carries six tracks in total with no mentioned features and its been shared that the start of this collaboration can be traced back to the breakout success of their track ‘TEKKY?’ that dropped back in 2022. Inspired by the overwhelming positive response, YoungstaCPT and RAF DON recognized the potential for further musical exploration together. With the guidance of executive producer Shaney Jay, the duo embarked on a creative journey that resulted in the creation of the 6-track You Know The Drill.
“It’s a drill project, so it’s quite uptempo and hard-hitting. I would say only one song is really radio-friendly, whereas the others are more for fans of the drill sub-genre that’s currently trending in hip-hop. It’s not commercial, but I would say it’s very current.” – YoungstaCPT
“This project takes you on an emotional rollercoaster. We tried to sonically and
intentionally add a nostalgic feel and element to drill. That’s why there are elements of sampling and interpolation on certain records on the project. We tried to cover street anthems, love songs, conscious drill, just giving the listeners an experience they’ve never gotten before on drill while staying true to the genre.” – RAF DON
