Kay-Z Bereans announces 2nd EP
This year has been a promising year for new artist Kay-Z Bereans, having partnered with Alvaro Media as his public relations agency.
We all know that this music dream-chasing game is a hard one and that is probably one of the reasons why certain people in society perceive anybody chasing a music dream as someone delusional or not serious, but who cares right? Because the only person you really should be listening to is yourself, reason being that the biggest battles seem to be internal. Take rookie artist Kay-Z Bereans; although unknown in the mainstream space, he continues to chase the dream, so we had to talk to the rising star and find out how he continues to push above the circumstances and fight his battles.
Hailing from Katima Mulilo, his first EP Dark Nights and Rainbows was released last year in July - a body of work he describes as an introductory project. He said that Dark Nights and Rainbows is a project that has opened a few doors for him and he intends to follow it up with another EP that will take him to another level. He announced that his second EP, titled Palm Trees and Skies will be made available on different online platforms at the end of July. Palm Trees and Skies features Big Fish, Princelou Faragama, Willy G and more.
“I recently partnered up with Alvaro Media and they are now responsible for my public relations and ensuring that I have a reputable brand,” he said.
He added that he is excited to have Alvaro Media on board because it increases the chances of his music reaching a lot of people. “Being in business with Alvaro Media takes away the burden of me doing the music and still trying to do my own branding and PR,” said Kay-Z Bereans.
His latest single Why She Wanna Know, featuring Blvc Boxx Entertainment signee Princelou Faragama, is gaining momentum on Donlu Africa and serves as a snippet for what he is about to unleash on his forthcoming project. Asked when his fans can expect a fully-fledged album, Kay-Z Bereans admitted that he is not yet certain. “I want to drop an album when everybody is aware of me as an artist and the demand for my music is there.
“As artists we sometimes rush dropping an album without having a clear rollout plan and as a result it does not reach a lot of people. I want my EPs to blow up and then I can look into dropping an actual album,” he added.
Even though primarily known for doing hip-hop, Kay-Z Bereans shared that his forthcoming project will be a montage of various genres and stressed that he will be rapping in his vernacular language more. “Hip-hop in Namibia only appeals to the youth, but Afro-pop and other genres speak to a lot of people that is why the EP won't just have hip-hop songs. I have seen parents dance to Davido's songs so I know with Afro-pop I can reach their ears too,” he said.
