South African rapper and musician Blxckie dabbles in Nigerian Afropop on “lonely,” a September 2026 collaboration with LAX

The track follows Blxckie in his appearance on Mzukulu’s “Too Much,” released in early September, and takes LAX on its recent run for a meeting between two musicians known for sliding fluidly between rap and melody.

Blxckie moves away from pure rap, with major melodic vocals, while LAX adds the silky Afropop presence associated with his discography. Their differences are what make the collaboration what it is without overcrowding the agreement.

Blxckie has also expanded his influence outside of South African hip-hop, with collaborations across the continent’s diverse scenes. The collaboration with LAX pushes this strategy further across borders, allowing the song to more easily reach fans who are already familiar with both Afrobeat and melodic rap.

The song is accessible on all major digital streaming services. Give it a listen and let us know what you think of the combo in the comments below.
