Tyler Linkman has officially released his new single, “BEFORE I GO,” the reflective final track from his debut mixtape Now or Never – SIDE B. Serving as the emotional conclusion to his 12-track project, the song captures the essence of Tyler’s growth, resilience, and personal journey throughout the mixtape.
Built on raw hip-hop textures, live instrumentation, and soulful production, “BEFORE I GO” weaves together honest reflections on friendships, love, ambition, and lessons learned. The track balances vulnerability with reassurance, anchored by the memorable chorus mantra, “Just trust me, you’ll be alright.” It speaks to trusting the process, embracing change, and closing one chapter with intention.
Tyler shares, “Before I Go is me saying one last thing on the mixtape – a message to myself and my fans. It’s a goodbye, but not forever. It’s me reflecting on where I am, appreciating how far I’ve come, and leaving something meaningful behind before I step into what’s next.”
“BEFORE I GO” arrives at a time when Tyler’s creative circle continues to shape major moments in South African music. His previous collaboration with Lordkez on “Free Will” introduced a compelling artistic synergy — and with Lordkez currently dominating South Africa’s R&B landscape, Tyler’s new release stands firmly within a wave of groundbreaking homegrown talent.
Closing out Now or Never – SIDE B, “BEFORE I GO” solidifies Tyler Linkman’s evolution as an artist, showcasing his storytelling, lyrical depth, and authentic hip-hop energy — while leaving listeners eager for his next chapter.
