South African rapper KashCPT has officially released his latest single Tell Me Lies arriving today, 29 May 2026, with a sound that leans into heartbreak, honesty and emotional tension. The release adds another chapter to the Cape Town musician’s growing catalogue, one that continues to blend hip hop, R&B and Afro influenced melodies into a style that feels both personal and accessible.
The new single arrives under the NEVERBROKE imprint and finds KashCPT stepping into a vulnerable space as he unpacks the frustration that comes with mixed emotions, fading trust and complicated relationships. While the record carries a smooth and melodic energy, there is also a sharp emotional edge running through it, giving listeners a track that balances feeling with replay value.
Ahead of the release, KashCPT teased the song online with the message, “if they ever loved you, this one might hurt a little. “tell me lies” out now 🌹📬 #kashcpt (prod @bakergotthekeys ) 🎞 : @karabomasasi x @directedby.sid,” setting the tone for what listeners could expect from the record. Since its arrival, Tell Me Lies has already begun circulating across social media conversations, with fans reacting to both the honesty of the lyrics and the reflective atmosphere of the song.
Written by Kelsey Minaar, known professionally as KashCPT, the single also sees producer BakerGotTheKeys helping shape the overall direction of the release. Together, the collaboration delivers a polished offering that stays true to the emotional storytelling KashCPT has become recognised for.
Over the last few years, KashCPT has steadily built a name for himself as one of Cape Town’s standout voices in contemporary music. His ability to move between rap verses, melodic hooks and emotionally driven songwriting has allowed him to connect with a wide audience across different sounds and cultures. Rather than limiting himself to one lane, he continues to experiment with music that reflects both his roots and his broader artistic ambitions.
With Tell Me Lies, KashCPT once again places emotion at the centre of the music while maintaining a sound designed for both intimate listening and late night singalongs. The single captures the feeling of wanting the truth while still holding onto hope, making it a relatable release for listeners navigating love, disappointment and everything in between.
As the track officially makes its way onto streaming platforms today, Tell Me Lies stands as another confident release from an artist continuing to carve out his own identity within South African music.
