Cape Town rapper YoungstaCPT has returned to the streets that shaped him with the release of his latest music video, “WILDBERG,” featuring Crosby Bolani.

The track serves as the opening song on his latest mixtape, WORLDWIDE WYNBERG, a 12-track project produced by New York-based Cartune Beatz. Rather than chasing the extravagant visuals often associated with mainstream hip-hop, YoungstaCPT delivers something more personal: a tribute to his hometown and the community that helped shape his identity.
A Music Video Rooted in Wynberg
Filmed entirely in Wynberg, the “WILDBERG” music video takes viewers through the neighbourhood’s streets, parks and backyards, capturing the everyday environment that has influenced YoungstaCPT’s music throughout his career.
What makes the visual particularly meaningful is the involvement of local residents. People who have known the rapper since childhood share memories of his early years, including his freestyle sessions in local parks and his journey from a young aspiring musician to an established figure in South African hip-hop.
These personal accounts give the video a documentary-like quality, placing the community at the centre of the story rather than treating Wynberg as merely a backdrop.
YoungstaCPT and Crosby Bolani Deliver a Powerful Collaboration
Featuring Crosby Bolani, “WILDBERG” combines YoungstaCPT’s storytelling with reggae influences and gritty hip-hop production from Cartune Beatz.
The rapper reflects on his upbringing, early struggles and the experiences that shaped his perspective. His lyrics explore the contrast between community life, personal ambition and the difficult realities faced by young people growing up in Cape Town.
Bolani’s contribution adds another musical dimension, complementing YoungstaCPT’s distinctive delivery while maintaining the track’s connection to its Cape Town roots.
WORLDWIDE WYNBERG: Taking Cape Town to the World
Released on July 31, 2026, WORLDWIDE WYNBERG is YoungstaCPT’s 36th mixtape and another chapter in his extensive catalogue.
The project features collaborations with DJ Ready D, Nym Lo, Omari Hardwick and several other artists. Its 12 tracks explore YoungstaCPT’s personal experiences, community identity and the challenges of growing up in Wynberg.
During a September interview with GQ South Africa, YoungstaCPT discussed how the project reflects his upbringing and his desire to document experiences that have remained with him into adulthood.
He also explained that he considers his songs short films, using descriptive lyrics to help listeners visualise the stories he tells. That cinematic approach is particularly evident in “WILDBERG,” where the music and accompanying visuals work together to bring his neighbourhood’s history to life.
Preserving Cape Town’s Hip-Hop Culture
For YoungstaCPT, representing Cape Town has always extended beyond mentioning his hometown in his lyrics.
His music frequently explores Coloured identity, community struggles, cultural heritage and the importance of remembering where one comes from.
With “WILDBERG,” he continues that tradition by giving the people of Wynberg an opportunity to share their own memories and experiences.
The video also demonstrates how hip-hop can serve as a form of cultural documentation, preserving stories that might otherwise go unheard.
As Cape Town’s hip-hop scene continues to develop, projects such as WORLDWIDE WYNBERG highlight the importance of local storytelling and the artists committed to preserving their communities’ identities.

For Cape Town hip-hop, “WILDBERG” is a celebration of home, heritage and the power of storytelling.
