When I see an artist drop a 10-track album, my mind immediately goes to Illmatic — not for comparison, but for the expectation of a tight, no-skips body of work. And DJ Speedsta delivers just that.
Titled “120 OCEAN VIEW DR.“, this album proves once again that Speedsta needs no introduction. He’s been consistent in shaping the sound of South African hip-hop, and this latest project is a testament to that legacy.
From the opening track “ALL i HAVE” featuring Priddy Ugly and KASHCPT, you know you’re stepping into something special. The production is crisp, the bars are sharp, and the features are thoughtfully curated.
Another standout is “MY WAY” with Blxckie and Vsinare — a track that’s bound to dominate as we head into spring. The album also features the likes of K.Keed, Flvme, 25K, Blue Pappi, MDB, and more, showcasing the depth of talent in the country.
120 OCEAN VIEW DR. is not only full of bangers, but it’s also sonically diverse and cohesive. Whether you’re a fan of lyrical rap, melodic flows, or just good music, there’s something here for you.
Go check it out and let us know your thoughts — we might just be looking at the Album of the Year.
