Lucasraps Revisits ‘KING KAI’ and ‘Yours Sincerely’ in South Africa

South African rapper Lucasraps has revisited two catalogue tracks and signalled that new music is in progress.

South African rapper Lucasraps is revisiting two catalogue tracks, “KING KAI” and “Yours Sincerely,” while signalling that new music is on the way.

The Durban-raised artist drew attention to both records on Instagram, pointing to the staying power of a 2024 collaboration and the different creative space behind his latest project.

“KING KAI” with Nasty C#

Lucasraps first highlighted “KING KAI,” his 2024 collaboration with Nasty C from the mixtape Location Hurting 3. Sharing the track’s neon-lit artwork, he wrote: “This shit bangs like I made it yesterday tjo.”

Released in November 2024 under Big Qosh Music Group, the song pairs Lucasraps’ sharp lyricism with Nasty C’s distinctive, staccato delivery. Production credits go to Anashe Chizhane, Khulisani Lee Bhebhe and Tyler Sally Africa.

The track appeared on Location Hurting 3, a 19-track project that showcased Lucasraps’ approach to contemporary South African hip-hop. The two rappers had previously collaborated on “The Views,” making “KING KAI” a reunion for fans of their chemistry.

“Yours Sincerely” and what is next#

Lucasraps’ second post focused on “Yours Sincerely,” the opening track of his 2026 project Y.O.G. Reflecting on the song, he wrote: “Here I was in a different bag fr. Iwl I can’t wait fo yall to hear the new new that’s otw.”

Released in March 2026, Y.O.G marked another chapter in his artistic development. “Yours Sincerely” sets a reflective tone, touching on experiences, relationships and ambitions that have shaped his journey. Its more measured direction offered a different perspective on the rapper, showing a willingness to explore different sounds and songwriting approaches.

The two posts highlight his appreciation for his musical journey while turning attention to his next move. Lucasraps has not shared specific details about the upcoming material, but his posts indicate that new music is in progress.
