South African producer DJ Clen and rapper A-Reece join forces on “HOW DO YOU LOVE ME NOW?”, a ten-track album.
The surprise project arrives through Revenge Club Records and runs for roughly 27 minutes. It pairs DJ Clen’s production with A-Reece’s lyrical delivery across a focused set of new recordings. Guest voices fill out most of the tracklist, so the album leans heavily on collaboration.
Kid Kaydence appears on “YAMAL,” while Loatinover Pounds joins on “MENACE.” Lowfeye features on “4EVA,” and Jay Jody and Luna Florentino both turn up on “datpiffdotcom” and “IZ U WIMME?” Kwazi M adds vocals to “PARTYYYYYYYYYY (interlude)” and “FIND MY WAY.” Nadia Nakai closes things out on “SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT.”
Only two tracks keep the duo alone. “REALLY A LOT” and “DRIVE ME CRAZY” carry the weight without any features, which gives the project a centre to build around.
For listeners who have been waiting on a full body of work from this pairing, the length matters. Ten tracks in under half an hour means very little room to drift. The guest list also spreads across different corners of South African rap rather than repeating the same names.
