Priddy Ugly Plots A Celebration With Forthcoming ‘Dust’ Deluxe. South African hip-hop heavyweight Priddy Ugly isn’t done shaking the game just yet. Riding high off his SAMA wins, the rapper recently chopped it up with DJ Speedsta on 5FM, where he offered tantalizing hints about the upcoming deluxe edition of his critically acclaimed album Dust. And if his words are anything to go by, this isn’t just a bonus pack—it’s a full-blown creative victory lap.
“Technically, it’s still part of Dust,” he told Speedsta, cool and composed as ever. “But this deluxe—it’s a celebration.” And who can blame him? After walking away with fresh accolades, Priddy’s clearly in the mood to toast his success, and he’s doing it in the way he knows best: with bars, beats, and boundary-pushing collaborations.
But don’t expect a typical deluxe treatment. Priddy Ugly’s vision is more ambitious—he’s crafting a new moment altogether. With a smirk and a chuckle, he admitted, “I don’t know when this deluxe is going to drop… I’m also waiting, but I’m ready.”
The real bombshell? The rapper hinted at some jaw-dropping features in the works—collaborations designed to shock the scene and thrill listeners. “Let me put together some features that other people wouldn’t expect or something people would just be super excited about.”
From Amapiano titans to hip-hop OGs—or maybe even a curveball international feature—the possibilities are wide open. Priddy’s keeping tight-lipped, but confirmed he’s been reaching out across genres and circles. The man’s clearly cooking something special.
But this deluxe isn’t just about the names on the tracklist. It’s about honouring the journey, putting a crown on Dust—an album praised for its introspection, lyrical density, and dark, immersive production. If the original was a statement, the deluxe promises to be a victory speech set to music.
“We just got some dope accolades,” he reflected during the interview. “So now, coming from the SAMAs—let’s celebrate it.”
