Shaney Jay Announces Star-Studded New Single ‘The 021’ Cape Town’s vibrant music culture is taking centre stage once again as acclaimed producer Shaney Jay prepares to release his brand-new single, “The 021,” a star-studded collaboration featuring Chaise Williams, Hanna (@therealnigist), and rap heavyweight YoungstaCPT.
The producer, affectionately known as “The Plug,” announced the release on Instagram with a message celebrating his hometown: “FROM THE 021, TO THE WORLD 
My new single, ‘The 021’ featuring @chaisewilliams_official_ @therealnigist & @youngstacpt, drops this Friday. Pre-save now. Link in bio.”
The upcoming release is more than just another collaboration. It is a celebration of Cape Town’s identity, culture, and undeniable influence on South African hip-hop.
Shaney Jay has played a pivotal role in shaping the city’s modern rap landscape.

With “The 021,” he now steps into the spotlight as the driving force behind a record designed to showcase the city’s collective talent.
Each featured artist brings a unique perspective to the song. Chaise Williams contributes his smooth delivery and effortless charisma, while Hanna offers thoughtful lyricism blended with her distinctive genre-crossing style. YoungstaCPT rounds out the collaboration with the sharp storytelling and lyrical precision that have made him one of the country’s most respected MCs.

“This record is about representing where we come from. Cape Town has produced incredible talent and a unique culture that’s influenced music far beyond our borders. I wanted to create something that feels like an anthem for the city while bringing together artists who each represent a different piece of its story.”
