“I was shaking in excitement”: Kane Keid On Working With A-Reece. In the world of music, every song has a story, but few tales can rival the thrill and excitement Kane Keid felt while recording his verse for “V.O.T.Y,” a track on DJ Clen’s celebrated album, Too Viral. This track features a dynamic mix of talents, with Keid’s raw energy paired with fellow artist K-Rev, making it one of the album’s standout tracks.
But there’s more behind the scenes: Touchline, known for his lyrical depth and punchy delivery, was there to record Kane Keid’s verse himself. And as if that weren’t enough, the presence of one of South Africa’s hip-hop greats, A-Reece, who stood beside Keid during his recording, brought an even greater surge of excitement to the moment.
“Crazy fact about this song,” Keid wrote in a recent post. “Touchline was recording me when I was recording the verse, and Reece was standing next to me. I was shaking in excitement.” The adrenaline in the studio was palpable, and Keid’s excitement translated seamlessly into his powerful verse on the track.
For Kane Keid, this moment was a dream come true. His visible reaction in the studio underscores the respect and admiration he holds for both Touchline and A-Reece. “V.O.T.Y” captures this magic, offering listeners a rare glimpse of raw emotion and artistry that comes only when true talent shares the room.
DJ Clen’s Too Viral album showcases the collaborative essence of South Africa’s hip-hop scene, drawing from an extensive lineup of artists and creating memorable tracks. “V.O.T.Y” stands out as a vibrant example of the camaraderie and mentorship in SA hip-hop, showing that when artists come together, the music becomes a shared, electrifying journey.
