Tyla is ready to switch things up. The South African breakout star, known for her global Afrobeats hit Water, has revealed she’s gearing up to show off a different side of her artistry, by releasing “full-on rap songs” in the near future.
In a recent interview, the Grammy winner shared her excitement about stepping into a new lane musically, admitting that fans have only seen a glimpse of what she’s truly capable of. While her signature sound blends amapiano, pop, and R&B influences, Tyla says there’s a rapper in her that’s itching to be heard.
“I can’t wait to show that side of me,” she said. “I’ve always loved rap. I rap for fun when I’m with my friends, and I’ve even written verses that no one’s heard yet. But now, it’s time.”
Since her meteoric rise in 2023, Tyla has become one of the most talked-about new artists on the global scene. Her debut self-titled album showcased her versatility and vocal control, but according to Tyla, it only scratched the surface. “There’s so much more I want to explore creatively,” she said. “I’ve always felt like music is about evolving, and I’m not afraid to experiment.”
The news of rap tracks on the way is already generating buzz among fans, many of whom have praised her confident delivery and swagger in recent freestyles and live performances. Her ability to fuse catchy melodies with bold, rhythmic flow suggests that a venture into rap won’t just be a gimmick, it could be a game-changer.
While she hasn’t confirmed a release date or whether the rap songs will be standalone singles, collaborations, or part of a future project, Tyla’s comments have certainly piqued interest in what’s next. Industry insiders are also curious to see whether she’ll team up with any big-name rappers to mark her official entrance into the genre.
With her star rising rapidly and her creative boundaries continuing to expand, it’s clear Tyla is more than just a one-hit
