Rising international hip-hop force Suhn has officially arrived in South Africa following growing demand for his music across the country, marking the beginning of what promises to be a groundbreaking cultural and musical exchange between the United States and one of Africa’s most influential music markets.
Known for his sharp lyricism, energetic performances and commitment to authentic hip-hop storytelling, Suhn is embarking on an extensive visit that will see him connect and collaborate with some of South Africa’s most respected artists, producers and industry leaders. His trip comes at a time when many fans and industry observers are calling for a resurgence of lyric-driven hip-hop, and Suhn is determined to be part of that movement.
The visit coincides with the release of “Upskie”, the latest single from Off Center Department’s forthcoming All Gas No Brakes mixtape. The explosive collaboration brings together Suhn, Slyme Foxx and South African hip-hop heavyweight Wordz in a powerful cross-continental anthem that showcases the global strength of hip-hop culture.
Built on hard-hitting production and undeniable chemistry, “Upskie” represents more than just a single release. It symbolizes a growing bridge between American and South African hip-hop, bringing together artists who share a passion for lyrical excellence, innovation and cultural authenticity.
“South Africa has shown me incredible love and support,” says Suhn.
“The response to my music here has been amazing, and I felt it was important to come experience the culture firsthand, connect with the people and create with some of the best talent on the continent. Hip-hop has always been about community, collaboration and pushing the culture forward.”
During his stay, Suhn will participate in studio sessions, media engagements, industry networking events and collaborative projects with some of South Africa’s most exciting musical talents. Several high-profile collaborations are already in development, with announcements expected in the coming weeks.
Off Center Department’s Coach believes the partnership signals an exciting moment for hip-hop’s future.
“There’s a renewed hunger for real hip-hop, powerful storytelling and meaningful collaborations,” says Coach.
“Bringing Suhn to South Africa allows us to create something bigger than music. It’s about connecting cultures, building opportunities and contributing to the resurgence of a genre that continues to shape generations around the world.”
Adding further firepower to “Upskie” is Slyme Foxx’s commanding verse and Wordz’s unforgettable hook, which gives the track a distinctive South African flavour while maintaining its global appeal.
As Suhn begins his South African journey, fans can expect new music, exciting collaborations and a renewed energy around hip-hop culture that stretches far beyond borders.
“Upskie” is available now on all major streaming platforms.
