NOTA Praises Kane Keid’s Bold Move Against A-Reece
NOTA Praises Kane Keid’s Bold Move Against A-Reece. South African music executive and cultural critic NOTA has once again sparked conversation with his candid views, this time weighing in on Kane Keid’s latest EP, Call U Back When I Make It.
In a recent post, NOTA drew direct comparisons between Kane Keid’s new body of work and A-Reece’s freshly dropped EP Business As Usual. According to him, while the two projects share similarities in concept, the defining line between them lies in musicality. Yet, when it comes to pure rap skill, NOTA made it clear where he stands:
“The only difference between the Kane Keid & A-Reece EPs is musicality… As far as rapping goes, the kid is running laps around the boy. The balls to drop on the same has gained my respect. He keyed the Urus!”
The remark not only highlights Keid’s lyrical prowess but also praises his courage for releasing his project in the same breath as one from A-Reece, an artist widely considered one of the finest rappers of his generation. For NOTA, the move is not only audacious but also symbolic of Keid’s hunger to carve out his place in the rap game.
Call U Back When I Make It has quickly become a talking point in hip hop circles, not just for its title, which resonates with the struggle and ambition of upcoming artists, but also for its sharp bars and self-assured delivery. By releasing his EP alongside a heavyweight like A-Reece, Kane Keid has managed to create a moment that positions him as more than just a newcomer — but as an artist ready to run his own race.
