A-Reece Hints At ‘Blue Tape Vol. 2’ Release With Jay Jody
A-Reece Hints At ‘Blue Tape Vol. 2’ Release With Jay Jody. A-Reece Hints At ‘Blue Tape Vol. 2’ With Jay Jody Following Inspiration From US Rap Duo Clipse. South African hip-hop fans may have reason to celebrate soon, as A-Reece has hinted at the return of one of his most beloved projects—Blue Tape.
In a post that has already stirred excitement across social media, the lyrical heavyweight shared that Clipse’s recent activity reignited a creative spark between him and longtime collaborator Jay Jody.
“Not going to lie, Clipse got Jody and I discussing the return of Blue Tape,” A-Reece wrote. “Need to cook that Vol. 2 and take things to the next level.”
The original Blue Tape, a joint effort between A-Reece and Jay Jody released in 2021, was hailed as a masterclass in chemistry, introspection, and lyricism, standing out as a bold statement in an era often dominated by singles and quick hits. Fans have long hoped for a follow-up, and it seems the wait may soon be over.
With Clipse—Pusha T and No Malice—making waves again, it’s fitting that their resurgence would inspire two of South Africa’s sharpest pens. Both A-Reece and Jay Jody have been known to draw from the ethos of classic hip-hop, and the reference suggests Blue Tape Vol. 2 may aim for elevated artistry and perhaps even bolder experimentation.
Given the influence of Clipse’s street poetry and high-concept bars, there’s a strong chance the sequel could carry darker themes, harder-hitting production, and even deeper introspection.
Clipse is an American hip hop duo from Virginia Beach, Virginia, formed by brothers Gene “No Malice” Thornton and Terrence “Pusha T” Thornton. Active primarily from 1994 to 2010, they’re known for their gritty, cocaine-centric lyricism and innovative production, often by The Neptunes (Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo). Their debut album, Lord Willin’ (2002), featured hits like “Grindin'” and “When the Last Time,” establishing them as pioneers of “coke rap.”
