YoungstaCPT Unveils Cinematic Brilliance With “SIN CITY & THE COMPASS” Music Video. Cape Town’s hip-hop titan, YoungstaCPT, has once again proven why he’s a cornerstone of South African rap with the release of his latest music video for “SIN CITY & THE COMPASS,” dropped on May 28, 2025.
Shared via social media platforms with a link to the visuals, this release marks a standout moment from his critically acclaimed mixtape 33 Y?RS AHEAD OF TIME, the final chapter in his introspective trilogy exploring time, growth, and resilience. The video, a vibrant ode to Cape Town’s spirit and Youngsta’s lyrical prowess, blends nostalgic West Coast vibes with a raw, cinematic narrative that’s as captivating as it is authentic.
Directed with a keen eye for storytelling, the “SIN CITY & THE COMPASS” video transports viewers into the heart of Cape Town, weaving together gritty street scenes and vivid cultural snapshots. The dual-track video opens with “SIN CITY,” a throwback to classic West Coast hip-hop, pulsating with booming basslines and sharp snares crafted by producer Trigga.
YoungstaCPT, born Riyadh Roberts, commands the frame, spitting bars that reflect the city’s duality—its beauty juxtaposed against its struggles. From the vibrant flats of the Cape to neon-lit corners, the visuals capture the essence of a city that’s both a paradise and a battleground.
As the video transitions to “THE COMPASS,” the mood shifts to a more reflective tone. The track, also produced by Trigga, serves as a metaphorical guide, with Youngsta navigating themes of direction and purpose. Scenes of him delivering his raps, infusing the westside style rap in the US, depict his journey from the streets to a voice of wisdom.
The production quality shines, with mixing and mastering handled by Shaney Jay. The seamless blend of the two tracks in one video showcases Youngsta’s versatility, balancing hard-hitting lyricism with introspective storytelling.
