Zakwe Primes Fans For The Main Event With “BIS3 (Before I-Single)”

Zakwe is back in his bag with a new freestyle, “BIS3 (Before I-Single),” and it’s as sharp as ever. The veteran lyricist dropped the track as part of his long-running Before I-Single series — a ritual that always signals something big on the horizon.

Released as a standalone audio cut, “BIS3” isn’t just another warm-up it’s a statement. Zakwe’s pen is in top form, and fans can feel the hunger building as he teases a major single to follow. Leading up to the drop, he hit social media with short snippets and cryptic posts, all pointing toward what he called “the main event.”

The rollout follows his classic formula: bars first, single next. It’s a system Zakwe has mastered keep the streets fed with pure rap, then switch gears into an official release that broadens the catalogue. Earlier chapters like Before iSingle 2 (B.I.S) set that tone, turning the BIS title into a recognizable b

rand of lyrical preludes.

Those earlier entries remain available across streaming platforms, serving as a timeline of Zakwe’s evolution. With BIS3, he’s once again showing that consistency and legacy can coexist in the same breath.

This latest freestyle also lands in the middle of a busy year for the PMB native. Zakwe recently linked up with Big Zulu on “Ngase Ngithembile”, a collab that reinforced his roots in KwaZulu-Natal’s hip-hop scene and his chemistry with one of the province’s biggest names.

Viewed in that context, “BIS3” plays like a reintroduction , the calm before a lyrical storm. It’s Zakwe tuning up the engine, tightening the flow, and reminding everyone that he’s still one of the sharpest wordsmiths in South African rap.

Fans can stream “BIS3 (Before I-Single)” now on YouTube, with news about the follow-up single expected soon through his socials. Judging by his history, this drop is just the spark and Zakwe’s next move might be the fire.
