Usimamane Aims Beyond Hip-Hop With Forthcoming Project “Tailung.” Usimamane’s next chapter is shaping up to be bigger than a genre. With Tailung, the rising star is signalling a widescreen vision that looks past the usual borders of hip-hop and into the broader arena of youth culture, street style, and festival energy.

The intention is clear: make a trap that thumps for purists and casual listeners alike, without diluting the grit that built his name. “The MASSES gon have to adjust and digest this trap sh*t. We ain’t making this for the hip hop community only. #tailung.” Wrote Usimamane.

. For years, local hip hop has toggled between chasing international orthodoxies and carving homegrown hybrids. Usimamane’s tone suggests a third lane. Keep the trap DNA intact, add the local cadence and slang, then package it with mass-minded clarity. That could mean hooks that work in crowded spaces, beats that DJs can stitch into different sets, and verses that quote easily in conversation or captions.

The business logic lines up with the creative ambition. A project that speaks to the masses is built for wide playlisting, algorithmic discovery, and cross-platform clips that travel without needing deep context. Think teaser snippets that showcase the drop rather than the backstory, short performance videos that highlight crowd response, and collaborations chosen for reach and texture rather than genre gatekeeping. None of this dilutes hip hop roots. It simply builds more doors for listeners to walk through.
