South African rap heavyweight Cassper Nyovest is officially back in his hip-hop bag with a brand-new single titled “Guess Who’s Back”; a bold, high-energy track that reclaims his throne and reminds fans and doubters alike that he’s still at the top of the food chain.
While he’s remained a dominant force in the music scene with tracks like ‘Kusho Bani’, which set charts ablaze and sparked cultural conversations, and ‘Skuta Baba’, which solidified his sonic versatility and street appeal, “Guess Who’s Back” is a return to the raw lyricism and classic boom-bap roots that made Cassper a household name. ‘Kusho Bani’ garnered widespread radio airplay and dominated streaming charts across Southern Africa, while ‘Skuta Baba’ became an anthem in clubs and festivals, further proving his range and ability to connect with audiences across genres. Both tracks have since become some of the most used local sounds on social media platforms, proving his relevance with a new generation of listeners.
On ‘Guess Who’s Back’, Cassper takes listeners through a timeline of his most pivotal career moments, laying bare the journey from his breakout to present day. In the verses, he reflects on career highs and personal setbacks, referencing the many times people have tried to cancel or count him out, and how he’s consistently returned; stronger, sharper, and more focused. These themes echo sentiments he shared in a recent interview on L-Tido’s podcast, where he opened up about the pressures of fame, surviving public scrutiny, and the mental resilience it’s taken to stay at the top of his game. The track isn’t just a flex, it’s a testimony.
Cassper’s career is a testament to self-belief and artistic innovation. From his historic ‘Fill Up The Dome’ concert in 2015, the first South African artist to sell out the Ticketpro Dome - to launching his own record label, Family Tree Records, and dropping multi-platinum albums like Tsholofelo, Refiloe, and Thuto, and many other accolades under his belt, the rapper continues to set benchmarks.
As the title suggests, ‘Guess Who’s Back’ is not just another single, it’s a statement! It’s a reminder of why Cassper is still one of the most respected and influential voices in African hip hop. With razor-sharp bars, confident delivery, and an unmistakable beat that nods to his come-up days, this release is set to follow the same trajectory as his past hits, dominating the airwaves and sparking conversations nationwide.
Whether you’ve been riding with him since Gusheshe, or you’re just tuning in now, Cassper Nyovest is back, and he’s hungrier than ever.
