Kane Keid Announces 13 November Release for Charles I: No Kingz EP
Thembisa-born rapper Kane Keid has confirmed that his new EP, Charles I: No Kingz, will arrive this Friday, 13 November, following a busy run of releases.
Rapper Kane Keid has announced the release date for his new EP, Charles I: No Kingz. According to SA Hip Hop Mag, the Thembisa-born artist will put the project out this Friday, 13 November.
Kane shared the news on Instagram with a short post giving the title and date, along with a message to his supporters: “Love yall.” He did not share further details about the project in the post, as reported.
A busy run of releases
The announcement follows a series of recent releases from the rapper. SA Hip Hop Mag lists the following among his recent work:
- the compact NOTE2SELF EP
- the visual for “LELO”
- “Take Time”, a collaboration with Sino Msolo and Ficz
- “Distance”, on which he reunited with Xowié
Fans are also still waiting for his long-teased debut album, SON OF SOiL.
A link to an earlier track
The new title appears to connect to earlier work. Kane previously released a track called “Charles I”, produced by REAZON. According to SA Hip Hop Mag, that song dealt with the vulnerable realities of young kings, the pressures of visibility and lives cut short. The outlet suggests the expanded title could mean the EP takes that conversation further, but this is speculation and Kane has not confirmed it.
The outlet also notes that the name of SeaC Adkins, a Vaal-based lyricist, has come up in conversations around the announcement. Some listeners are hoping the two will share a record. Whether that happens on the EP is not yet known.
What to remember
Charles I: No Kingz is due on Friday, 13 November. The tracklist and any features had not been confirmed in the announcement, so listeners will need to wait for the release itself or for further word from the artist.
