Horid The Messiah has officially unveiled his latest project Reset, marking another important chapter in the journey of one of South Africa’s emerging hip hop voices. The four-track EP arrived on July 21 after the 22-year-old rapper built anticipation with an announcement on Instagram just hours before its release, giving supporters an early look at the cover artwork, revealing the full track list and acknowledging Rillo Beats for handling the mixing and mastering of the project.
The announcement was more than a release notice. It offered fans a glimpse into where Horid The Messiah currently stands as both an artist and an individual. Alongside the artwork and track list, he hinted that Reset represents a fresh beginning while assuring listeners that there is still much more to come before the year comes to an end.
“none much , just a lil giveaway for being patient as i figure life out , journey ain’t been easy but through God i still prevail , love yall , more music to come this year. ♾️.”
The message gave added meaning to the EP, suggesting that the release reflects a personal turning point rather than simply another addition to his catalogue. It also served as a thank you to supporters who have continued following his journey while he worked on new material.
The project consists of four songs, No Designer, Ovrly Prssd featuring Lous, Nonchalant V and All In. Each title points towards a different chapter within the project, offering listeners a concise body of work that introduces the direction Horid The Messiah is taking at this stage of his career. The collaboration with Lous also adds another dynamic to the EP, while the compact track list makes Reset an easy listen for both longtime supporters and first-time listeners.
Born Nhlanhla Kefentse Buthelezi, Horid The Messiah has steadily built his name within South African hip hop as both a recording artist and beatmaker. He has become known for delivering music that balances modern hip hop influences with sounds inspired by his roots. His songwriting regularly draws from lived experiences, allowing his music to connect with listeners through honest storytelling while maintaining an energetic appeal.
Reset arrives as another step forward in Horid The Messiah’s growing catalogue, following previous releases that introduced audiences to his evolving sound. Rather than trying to do too much, the EP focuses on delivering a clear and direct listening experience that reflects where he is creatively today.
With the project now available across major streaming platforms, Reset gives listeners a fresh collection of music while signalling that Horid The Messiah is far from slowing down. Judging by his recent message to fans, this release is only the beginning of what he plans to share throughout the rest of the year.
