"What's Next?" by TCOOPMIA is a question and a statement, a bold declaration of what's to come while reflecting on what's been. It's an 18-minute dive into the future of soul and hip-hop, where optimism dances with the shadows of uncertainty. The project isn’t just a collection of songs but a full experience, bringing together soulful melodies, trap grooves, and sharp lyrical craftsmanship. With only six tracks, it feels like a concise yet complete musical journey, one that effortlessly fuses versatility and modern soul with the roots of hip-hop.
Concept & Sound: The EP opens with "So Fist Toe Kated," Produced by: Katyze and TCOOPMIA for DMP INC. This is a track that playfully introduces listeners to TCOOPMIA’s world, setting a tone that’s both refined and raw. "Goddess," produced by JayBBP and Aynt, draws you into a seductive realm, a trap-infused R&B groove that pulses with sensuality and layers of vibrato. There’s a tactile imagery in the production, where each beat and lyric feels like it’s been crafted to lure you deeper into its hypnotic vibe. "WKAT" acts as a breather, injecting a touch of humor into the mix, giving the listener a moment to reset before being hit with "Okie Doke!"—a Boom Bap classic that pays homage to the essence of hip-hop. Here, TCOOPMIA, Aynt, and Kyriq deliver top-tier bars in a lyrical cypher, proving their prowess as wordsmiths while paying tribute to the culture that raised them. The album’s tone takes a turn towards introspection with "Therapy" and "Steady Fallin'," both produced by TCOOPMIA. These tracks explore deeper, more personal themes, capturing the struggle of self-reflection and growth. The journey ends with a gentle, almost cinematic landing, thanks to the expert mixing by The Duke. It leaves the listener suspended, pondering the question the album started with: What's next?
Feel & Inspiration: "What’s Next?" is a fresh wave in contemporary music, blending the energy of modern trap and R&B with the lyrical depth of classic hip-hop. The project is unapologetically diverse, weaving humor, introspection, and storytelling into a tight sonic package. It’s about looking forward with confidence, drawing from the strength of the past, and embracing the unknown with a sense of curiosity and courage. Through this brief yet powerful exploration, TCOOPMIA and his collaborators showcase what it means to be a true artist in today’s ever-shifting musical landscape—fearless, authentic, and unafraid to blend genres and styles to create something wholly original.

Alternative hip-hop visionary DRAGG brews an elixir of emotions in his album 'Mixed Feelings', swirling with lyrical rap and alluring nocturnal R&B flavours showcased in eight unforgettable tracks with features by OwToo, Korusbird, Tania DeBarros and Amandi Music, brought together by the deft touch of Platinum-selling producer gTbeats.
This transformational album tells the story of a young man grappling with romance through to heartbreak, questioning self-worth and the reality of love. Despite visual impairment, DRAGG shows unflinching honesty and insight with a visionary fusion of auto-tuned cloud rap, trap soul, throwback R&B and hints of afro soul.
About the song '2am In Montecasino': ""In '2 am in Montecasino,' I aimed to capture the essence of late-night chill and the fulfilment of a childhood fantasy against the captivating backdrop of the Palazzo Hotel and Montecasino. It's about the satisfaction of realising a dream I've carried since I was a kid – spending a night in that lavish atmosphere. It embodies the allure of luxury and the laid-back vibe of Fourways, one of Johannesburg's nightlife hotspots. Picture tequila shots pouring, a mesmerizing companion by your side, and a vibe that's unmistakably Jozi."
About the album: "Working on 'Mixed Feelings' was truly a journey of self-discovery for me. I poured my heart and soul into every lyric, every melody, to create an album that speaks to the complexities of love and relationships from a man's perspective. One of the challenges I faced was finding the balance between vulnerability and strength in my music. I wanted to share my innermost thoughts and feelings without losing the authenticity that defines my sound. Collaborating with talented producers and musicians was a highlight of the creative process. Their input and expertise helped bring my vision to life, elevating the music to new heights. What started as a collection of ideas and concepts gradually took shape into a cohesive body of work that I'm incredibly proud of."
Crossing continents with influences from childhood to adulthood, DRAGG offers listeners an alternative to mainstream noise — a sonic journey that transcends borders and embraces the imperfections of the heart.
DRAGG | artist and rapper
Lawrence Sean Sibanda (aka DRAGG) was born in Johannesburg in 1993 to Zimbabwean immigrants, and at 12 he faced a life-altering battle with meningitis, losing his eyesight in the process. Not letting his health complications become a hindrance, he set out to accomplish another vision with his remarkable ability to rhyme.
Johannesburg’s rich music scene shaped DRAGG’s taste, leading him to embrace SA Hip Hop, R&B and Kwaito. Influenced by Skwatacamp, TK, Mandoza and Zola 7, his musical journey unfolded.
In 2006 DRAGG moved to the UK. It was then, at the height of the 50 Cent and G-Unit era, that he fully immersed himself in the culture. West Coast rapper The Game became a pivotal influence, with his album ‘Doctor’s Advocate’ serving as a defining moment that propelled DRAGG into the world of hip hop. Opening for The Game in 2010 marked DRAGG’s full-circle connection with his rap idol.
DRAGG has shared stages with UK icons like Wretch 32 and DJ Ace. His collaborators include Lady Leshurr, OD Hunte, Paigey Cakey and Millyz, and his 2024 projects embrace even further global collaborations with unrestrained blending of styles to elevate his craft.
