Rising Artist Kassy K Drops Infectious New Track “Lies”
Rising South African singer and songwriter, Khanyisa, widely known as Kassy K, has just dropped his latest musical gem, the compelling single “Lies”. Born and raised in the western province of Cape Town, the 22-year-old artist has been making waves in the music industry for over four years, drawing inspiration from acclaimed artists such as Tyga, Drake and Swae Lee.
Kassy K’s musical journey began in 2018 with the release of his debut project, the FEELZ EP, marking the inception of a career characterised by versatility and innovation. Now, with his most recent project, LOVEYOUNOTLOVEYOU, Kassy K continues to carve his niche in the industry, offering a unique and diverse sound that reflects the myriad of emotions experienced throughout his life.
The spotlight is now on Kassy K’s newest single, “Lies”, a mesmerising blend of hip-hop and trapsoul that is poised to resonate with fans of the likes of Post Malone and Don Toliver. The track not only showcases Kassy K’s musical prowess but also provides listeners with an intimate glimpse into the artist’s personal experiences.
Speaking about the inspiration behind “Lies” Kassy K shares, “It briefly explains what I was going through at that particular moment whereby I was just dealing with love and unfaithfulness, so to me, I would say the song means that all you have to do is be honest no matter what the circumstances are.”
The creation of “Lies” was a seamless collaboration between Kassy K and producer JLLY. Recounting the process, Kassy K says, “It actually wasn’t a big hassle. I met JLLY on Instagram. He sent me the beat, and at that time that I recorded this record I was feeling a bit lonely just going through my thoughts, and next minute you know I was sitting with a jam. I’m a person that likes to make music when I’m alone or in my own comfort zone.”
With its infectious melodies, poignant lyrics and Kassy K’s distinctive voice, “Lies” is a standout addition to the artist’s growing discography. “Lies” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://kassyk.lnk.to/lies.
