Usimamane Requests Permission From Fans To Drop A 7-Minute Track. In an unprecedented move, the talented Umlazi-born rapper Usimamane has taken to social media to ask for his fans’ blessing before dropping a new track that’s set to captivate listeners with its undeniable beauty.
In his heartfelt post, Usimamane reached out to fans with a genuine plea: “Guys, can I please drop a 7-minute song? It’s so beautiful I promise, please.” While the length of the track may seem unconventional for a typical rap single, it’s clear that the artist has poured his heart into this one.
The prospect of a seven-minute song is poised to raise anticipation, especially given Usimamane’s ability to create music that resonates deeply with his audience. Known for his soulful and emotive approach to hip-hop, it’s easy to see why fans are eager to hear what he’s been working on.
Seven-minute songs are rare in the rap music industry, especially in the fast-paced single-driven era we live in. But Usimamane‘s plea indicates that this track is more than just a typical release. While the artist has yet to reveal a release date the rapper recently revealed that he is working on releasing new music after he shared being in the studio with another rising star Kane Keid.
The Durban rapper made quite an impact in SA Hip hop last year. His breakthrough single, “Cheque,” released in 2024, achieved 3× Platinum status in South Africa, solidifying his place in the industry. In June 2024, Apple Music featured him as the Rap Life Africa artist, further elevating his profile.
His debut studio album, “20th: Days Before Maud,” released on September 13, 2024, broke records by surpassing 332,000 streams on Spotify within its first two days, marking the largest second-day streams in South Africa. The album’s lead single, “Uvalo,” featuring Sjava, debuted at number 4 on the Local Streaming Top 10 Charts and reached number 1 a week later.
