YoungstaCPT’s new album, 3T is the South African’s latest music project. Listing 20 songs, this is his first solo album. 3T by YoungstaCPT, is a journey into the lives of Cape Coloured people in The Mother City. 3T is YoungstaCPT’s first solo album, as the previous albums he has released were collaborations with producers—DNA (with Arsenic) and YungLoon Taliboom (with Maloon TheBoom).
Just as the album’s three singles, “YVR,” “YAATIE” and “V.O.C” pointed, 3T is the story of Cape Town heard straight from the horse’s mouth. Most songs are written from the point of a young man who’s trying to make sense of his surroundings—he raps about colonialism, gangsterism, drug abuse and Coloured people’s willingness and efforts to elevate themselves in a country that seems to forget them.
In between the songs, YoungstaCPT is having a conversation with his grandfather, who details the history of Cape Coloured people, and gives his take on apartheid, the current government’s corruption, among other pressing issues.
