Rouge Announces All-Star Female Collaboration Ahead Of Sophomore Album. South African rapper Rouge has just confirmed what fans have been waiting years to hear — a powerful new all-female collaboration is on the horizon, and it’s set to be a game-changer for women in hip hop.
In a recent interview with OkaySwisher on SlikourOnlife, Rouge excitedly revealed plans for what she described as a “very big drop,” featuring none other than hip hop heavyweights Nadia Nakai and Moozlie. The trio joined forces with producer Wichi 1080 to create what Rouge confidently calls “a banger.”
“I think this is the one people have been waiting for years — for the girls to actually come out there and do something nice,” Rouge stated, signalling a bold moment not only for her career but for the South African hip hop scene at large.
The collaboration marks a rare and highly anticipated moment of unity among some of the industry’s most formidable female voices, showcasing strength, skill, and sisterhood in an era that continues to demand greater representation and impact for women in music.
But the drop is just the beginning. Rouge confirmed that the upcoming release is a build-up to her long-awaited sophomore album — a follow-up to her critically acclaimed debut The New Era Sessions, which earned her multiple accolades and established her as a creative force in SA hip hop.
“The New Era Sessions did amazing, it got me awards, it got everything I needed,” she reflected. “But this one, it’s more storytelling and it’s more mature. I’m older now.” The rapper’s growth — both as an artist and a storyteller — will be on full display in this next chapter.
