Listen to Psy, the Menace – The 267 bred, Joburg based rapper/producer
Heard of the rapper and producer named Psy, the Menace yet? We hadn’t either until today and were super excited to get word about the Botswana bread, Johannesburg based rapper and producer (who goes under the production moniker Arthur Valentine). Psy, the Menace has been perusing music since 2014 and was part of an Alternative-Pop duo called Lucid180 in 2015. He fully produced ‘Long Time Coming’ with Botswana based artists JayK Rollin’ & O-Star. ‘Shadows EP’ by Lucid180 and a low-fi EP called Opiates with Untamed Culture.
Accorning to his manager Nikita Baird, Psy is “set to pursue a solo career as a lead artist and he has a lot under his sleeves for the year”. The homie recently released his debut song titled “Lost In Melancholy” on the 20th Of January. The introspective release starts with Psy feeling uncertain about where his life is going and this uncertainty continues into where he expresses how he’s unsure about the doing the right or wrong thing before touching on his personal experiences. He shifts between a cocky and vulnerable tone, giving the listener some insight into his emotions as well as showing his ability to tell his story with a catchy cadence and clever word play. Please give his debut song, Lost In Melancholy a listen.

One Take 267’s “Run the Payment” freestyle is the latest addition to his impressive catalogue. Over a hard-hitting, drill-inspired beat, One Take 267 once again flexes his prowess and street credibility with lines like, “Run the payment in cash, bring it to 20s, 50s, and 100s.” His delivery is raw and honest, never afraid to test himself, while reflecting his deep ties to the streets.
He navigates the beat with ease, dropping bars about moving with “heathens, shot callers, street bandits,” and emphasizing his commitment to authenticity. One Take 267 declares he’s no regular rapper, eschewing idle chatter for silent moves: “No chit chat ting no more, talk about moving in silence.”
This freestyle is a powerful display of One Take 267’s talent and his genuine connection to the street life, making it clear that he’s more than just a player in the game. He’s solidifying his position as a significant force in the hip-hop world.
