Maraza Unveils Star-Studded ‘Village In The Trap II’ Mixtape Tracklist. Renowned South African rapper and producer Maraza has just lifted the veil on the official tracklist for his highly anticipated project, Village In The Trap II, and it’s nothing short of a lyrical arsenal.
Taking to social media with the caption “I’m proud of this one,” Maraza revealed the 17-track lineup under The MarazA Music Company, promising a body of work that’s as bold as it is rooted in his township storytelling.
The mixtape features a powerful opening with “THE PODIUM” and “GOD TO A MAN,” setting the tone for a project that appears to explore identity, struggle, and self-elevation. As expected from the multifaceted artist, the project blends deep introspection with gritty street anthems.
What stands out most is the impressive roster of collaborations, bridging emerging voices and heavy-hitters from across the hip-hop and trap scene. Highlights include:
- “SWITCH” featuring the razor-sharp Jay Jody and platinum-selling Tony Dayimane
- “SWEEPER”, a potentially hard-hitting anthem alongside trap icon Emtee
- “USHUKELA”, a multi-layered posse cut with Qwellers, Sastii SA, Fanatical B3ing, and IQhawe Le Lokishi, promising lyrical dexterity and hometown heat
- “CHASE”, an energetic fusion starring Flow Jones Jr, Lolly Thee Illest, and Indigo Stella
- The penultimate track, “SUIT AND TIE” featuring Young2unnBeats1, teasing an elevated aesthetic to close the journey before “SET ME FREE” concludes the story.
Other collaborators like Xowla, Dahoodhope, and Money Badoo further diversify the sonic palette, blending trap, township soul, and experimental rap elements.
Village In The Trap II not only serves as a sequel to a fan-favourite series but also marks a monumental chapter for Maraza’s evolution as both a curator and creator. With its blend of conscious rap, street tales, and collaborative excellence, the mixtape is poised to leave a lasting mark on the 2025 hip-hop landscape.
