Cassper Reflects On Vulnerability In New Riky Rick Collab
Cassper Reflects On Vulnerability In New Riky Rick Collab. Cassper Nyovest is no stranger to heartfelt verses, but his latest feature on “Emotions” — a track from Riky Rick’s posthumous album Boss Zonke Forever — might be one of his most personal yet.
The rapper took to social media to share a snippet of the song, captioned: “Y’all feeling this verse? This is one of my favourite verses ever cause it’s so real.”
True to his words, Cassper delivers a soul-baring performance that touches on grief, healing, faith, and masculinity. With lines like “Where do you go to heal a broken heart / No salt water to these open scars,” the verse paints a vivid picture of inner turmoil and the often unspoken emotional struggles men face.
He continues to peel back layers, rapping: “Trying to find peace through the company I keep / A stand up but I feel stronger whenever I kneel,” highlighting his relationship with spirituality and the grounding power of prayer — a sentiment echoed in the tribute to his mother: “I believe in God and thankful that my mom’s prayer’s potent.”
Cassper doesn’t shy away from confronting self-doubt either. “God designed me perfectly through his eyelids / But somehow I still feel inadequate — what’s behind it?” he asks, giving fans a glimpse into his inner dialogue and struggles with self-worth.
But perhaps the most powerful moment comes at the close of his verse: “So if you listen to my rhymes as a fan / Then I’m telling you it’s OK to cry as a man.” It’s a simple yet revolutionary message — a direct challenge to toxic masculinity and a call for emotional honesty among his listeners.
