South African trap soul powerhouse Iccy Rej wrapped up 2025 with a bang after releasing her EP, ICCY SUMMER anchored by the standout single “Singalali,” the project captured Iccy Rej’s signature blend of hard trap, soulful melodies, and feel-good Afro-infused energy, reaffirming her position as one of the most versatile voices to emerge from the continent.
The EP’s focus track, “Singalali,” sees Iccy Rej linking up with Shisaboy, Tebogo G Mashego, and Somali, the record delivering a balanced grit and groove. It’s confident, infectious, and rooted in the hustler spirit that defines her music, a natural entry point into the world of ICCY SUMMER.
ICCY SUMMER was more than a seasonal drop, it was a statement. The EP featured an impressive lineup of collaborators including Smokepurpp, Flvme, Saudi, The Qwellers, MSI, Carvo Cardo, and Dizzu, with production handled by platinum-certified hitmakers such as Zooci Coke Dope, Neil T Music, Moody, 5TWZN Keys, Skatle, and SlimSoulja. The result is a project that moves seamlessly across trap, hip-hop, Afrobeats, pop, R&B, and amapiano, while staying true to Iccy Rej’s core sound: trap soul, hard trap, drill, and feel-good Afro beats.
What truly sets Iccy Rej apart is her unmistakable tone, sharp cadence, and fearless flow-switching, qualities that have drawn comparisons to artists like Young M.A and Siya, while still remaining entirely her own. Her breakout moment came with “Balenciaga,” which landed on Fetty Wap’s Who Got Heat Mixtape in 2020, and her socially conscious work addressing gender-based violence earned praise from Jadakiss and Busta Rhymes.
Inspired by the digital evolution of music and the way soundtracks now shape culture from reels to real life, Iccy Rej creates music that reflects hustle, luxury, love, and passion. Her ultimate goal is clear: to reach the Billboard Hot 100, collaborate globally, and align with a label that truly prioritizes its artists.
While ICCY SUMMER was a huge moment in 2025, it was only the beginning. Iccy Rej is currently at work on her upcoming album that will be dropping this year. It will be featuring collaborations with Jadakiss, Jae Millz, Money Mu, Zooci Coke Dope, Gemini Major, Onesimus, and more. She’s also preparing a wave of visuals, multiple EP installments (ICCY SUMMER Volumes 1–3), a reality TV appearance, and even a documentary. With over 1,000 unreleased songs slated and her momentum shows no signs of slowing.
