Rattex is back with a banging EP that cements his place as one of South Africa’s foremost hip hop talents. With production by Hipe, Dplanet and a special remix by Swiss electro-dub band Filewile, expect more kasi fire straight from the dusty streets of Khayelitsha.

This is Rattex’s first release since his debut solo album, Bread and Butter. Rattex has just returned from an extensive European tour that saw him tear up stages at an impressive list of Festivals including Paleo Festival (CH), Electron Festival (CH), Fusion Festival (DE), B-Sides Festival (CH) and JazzParade (CH). Most of the EP was recorded at Red Bull Studios in Cape Town – big up Ivan, Steve, Richard and Jake. Sikubo was recorded at Wankdorf Studios in Berne, Switzerland while Rattex was on tour – big up Daniel, Andreas and the whole Filewile crew.

The digital EP comes with an extended artwork pack (PDF) designed by spo0ky. It also includes 2 acapellas for all the DJs and remixers out there. Although this is primarily a digital release, a limited number of CDs will be available at The African Music Store and via mail order.
