Following the release of her lead single ‘Yahyuppiyah’ is Uncle Waffles as she drops her 2nd EP titled ‘Asylum’. The 7 track project features the likes of ‘Shakes’, ‘Les’, ‘Justin99’, ‘Tony Duardo’, ‘Eeque’, ‘Pcee’, ‘Chley’, ‘Milkie’, ‘Scumie’, ‘Ghost’, ‘Optimist Music ZA’, ‘3TW01’, ‘Jelly Babie’, ‘Given Kanu’, ‘DJ Stresser’, ‘Vuyo Ndevu’ and ‘Claras Deejay’. This release follows her co-sign from Missy Elliot on Twitter as well as her debut EP turning 1 yesterday.
This project is a must listen as it expresses a lot more of Uncle Waffles’ musical taste and journey in the music industry as she comes a long way from being pushed into the industry to becoming a full on global superstar over the course of a year and a half. She has done so much in her career from getting brand deals with Hyundai and Jagermeister as well as becoming the first Amapiano DJ to create their custom meal with KFC. She has indeed made history in the past year and this album just practically represents her growth and success as well as challenges she has faced mentally and emotionally.
It is an amazing experience sonically as she spotlights new talent for us to discover. ‘Asylum’ will detail who Uncle Waffles really is if you don’t have an idea on who she is. She took to her socials to describe the project, “Asylum – this project is a representation of how I felt in my mind trying to grasp an industry I was blessed to be thrown in, an artistic portrayal of emotions and feelings, of growth , highs and lows and all the in betweens. It’s been a journey creating something I love, and I hope y’all love it too.”
