MarazA Celebrates Birthday With The Release Of “Village In The Trap II” Mixtape. South African hip-hop powerhouse Maraza is celebrating his birthday in the most Maraza way possible—by giving back to fans with an avalanche of content and surprises.

Today, the multifaceted rapper, producer, and storyteller released his brand-new mixtape titled Village In The Trap II, setting the stage for what he proudly calls “a good day.” To mark the occasion, Maraza took to social media with an announcement that lit up timelines:
“It’s my birthday today. I dropped a mixtape today. I’m dropping 5 videos on YouTube today, and @channelotv will ONLY play MarazA Music from 5pm today! It’s a good day, today.”
Indeed, the celebration is monumental. Not only does Village In The Trap II (ViTTII) serve as a continuation of his acclaimed musical narrative blending rural roots with urban grit, but the rollout also proves that Maraza remains one of the hardworking and innovative artists in the game.
In a move rarely seen in the SA music landscape, Maraza is dropping five new music videos in one day—cementing his place as both a creative visionary and a relentless workhorse. These visuals are expected to be cinematic, thought-provoking, and raw—hallmarks of Maraza’s storytelling approach.
As if a new mixtape and a visual rollout weren’t enough, Channel O is joining in the celebration with a Maraza-only music block from 5 PM, showcasing his evolution and impact on the South African music scene. Fans can expect a full hour of nothing but the hits, from underground gems to mainstream bangers.
The mixtape’s title, Village In The Trap II, encapsulates Maraza’s journey—honouring his upbringing while navigating the fast-paced world of hip-hop. Known for fusing deep isiZulu lyricism with modern production, Maraza continues to blur the lines between the traditional and the contemporary.
