South African musician Kingsley, known for pushing musical boundaries, is set to release his bold debut album Kountry Klub King on June 13th—his birthday. This highly anticipated project blends hip-hop with pop, marking a pivotal moment in Kingsley’s career and introducing a genre-defying sound aimed at a global audience.

Kountry Klub King features a vibrant mix of rap verses, infectious hooks, and dynamic production. With six of the 14 tracks self-produced, Kingsley showcases not only his lyrical ability but also his production skills and creative vision, having also led the artistic direction of the album’s visuals.

Drawing influence from South African hip-hop culture and international pop, Kingsley delivers a musical journey that’s deeply personal yet universally relatable. The album is rooted in sonic freedom and creative expression, celebrating the richness and diversity of South African music. It’s a blend of hip-hop grit and feel-good pop energy—honest, uplifting, and real.

Recorded over two years across Pretoria, Johannesburg, and Harare (Zimbabwe), Kountry Klub King is more than just an album; it’s the first chapter of an ambitious trilogy. The project is autobiographical, chronicling Kingsley’s journey since founding his label, Kountry Klub Records.
