Updated on Nov. 3, 2026 in Hip-Hop and Rap
Stay Low executive Vaughn Thiel confirmed on X that a joint EP by rappers Ginger Trill and ZuluMecca is finished. Thiel said the project should be released before the end of November 2026.
Why it matters
The EP marks another collaboration between two artists who have previously worked together on tracks including "Big 5" and "Hope It Gives You Hell". Confirmation of completion gives listeners a firm release window for new South African hip-hop material.
The only figures available are the 2025 release of Because I Said So and the 2026 release of The Limit Does Not Exist, which hosted their prior joint work. The EP's title, tracklist and exact release date remain unannounced.
