Okmalumkoolkat Teases Gritty “Top Five” From Forthcoming LP “Itheku eThekwini” In a late-night drop for the feeds, Okmalumkoolkat has quietly announced a new single titled “Top Five,” confirming it as a cut from his much-anticipated LP “Itheku eThekwini.“
The artist paired the announcement with a look-at-me visual package and a thread of behind-the-scenes credits that reveal how hands-on he’s been in shaping the record’s aesthetic.
“I don’t want to hear the excuses; don’t @ me, it’s almost done — the most difficult project I ever worked on,” Okmalumkoolkat wrote, putting the creative struggle front and centre and hinting at the labour behind the LP. Those words land like a rare, candid aside from an artist who usually lets the music and visuals speak first.
The new post reads like a mini-press release from the artist’s phone. Alongside the tease of the song and LP, Okmalumkoolkat listed the team who helped bring the single’s visual to life. The clip was shot and edited by @takeoverseason, while post effects, typography and animation were handled personally by Okmalumkoolkat on @prequelapp.
Wardrobe credits went to @alcapone_premium and @spova.app, and the styling and set design were also credited to the artist himself. The meticulous roll call paints a picture of a project where technical craft and personal taste converge.
From the credits alone, one can sense the tone Okmalumkoolkat is aiming for. The mention of prequel-style post effects and hands-on typography and animation suggests an approach that blends analogue swagger with slick digital polish.
His decision to take on styling and set design indicates this is not just another single release but a visual statement intended to sit squarely within the larger world he is building for #IthekueThekwini. Fans should expect something that is conceptually tight and visually distinct.
“Top Five” arrives at a moment when Okmalumkoolkat’s visual language has become almost as talked-about as his music. Over the years, he has folded fashion and performance into his output in ways that turn singles into short-form films, and this post confirms that the new LP will follow that model.
Although no release date was specified, the phrase “almost done” sets expectations that fans will not have to wait long. That said, the emphasis on difficulty and the layered credits suggest a careful finishing process rather than a rushed drop. For listeners and visual-heads alike, the stakes feel high: Okmalumkoolkat is not merely releasing tracks, he is curating an immersive chapter in his artistic story.
