As we approach the final quarter of 2025, South African hip-hop artist Kane Keid is primed for a new release, marking a year filled with ongoing projects and significant achievements. The rapper took to Instagram to unveil exciting information about his upcoming work, offering a sneak peek into what fans can look forward to, along with a recently dropped single.
The upcoming EP, named Call U Back, is officially scheduled for release on September 3, 2025. This news was shared on the artist’s official Instagram, where he also announced that his latest single, “Call U Back When I Make It,” is now accessible on all major streaming platforms.
This new release comes on the heels of Keid’s earlier project, the Not Famous EP, which debuted in April. The nine-track project featured collaborations with artists like ZuluMecca, Usimamane, Ntatao, and Thembi Powers. Songs such as “Trouble Again” and “Homecoming (4U)” showcased themes of ambition, emotional strength, and aspects of identity that have become hallmarks of his lyrical style.
Released on August 22, “Call U Back When I Make It” represents the most recent addition to his body of work. The track interweaves personal introspection with artistic purpose, centered on the themes of success, unmet expectations, and the price of pursuing one’s dreams. It is anticipated to set the stage for the themes that will be explored in the forthcoming EP.
With “Call U Back” on the horizon, Kane Keid seems ready to maintain that upward momentum. While specific details regarding the EP’s tracklist or featured collaborators have not yet been revealed, the lead single hints at a unified narrative that may again play a crucial role in the project’s overall framework.
Since his rise in the music scene, Keid has consistently embodied a personal and thoughtful tone in his music. Whether he is discussing his evolution from Tembisa or offering insights from an independent artist’s viewpoint, he continues to create stories that resonate deeply with listeners navigating similar experiences.
As the anticipation for the September 3 release intensifies, both fans and observers will be eager to see how “Call U Back” builds upon the sound and themes that Kane Keid has established thus far. With two EPs and an expanding repertoire, this new project could signify another pivotal moment in the journey of an artist who is steadily defining his place in the South African hip-hop landscape.
