Soweto-born rapper SKIIPS has set his sights on an imminent release, taking to Instagram to confirm that the remix of his track Secret Is Out is on the way. The announcement arrives with a clear sense of intent, as he revealed that the new version will feature Blxckie and Emtee two names that carry weight across different corners of the country’s hip-hop landscape. Alongside the reveal, he also shared the official cover artwork, offering supporters a first glimpse into the next phase of the record.
The original version of Secret Is Out, created alongside Vise, first appeared on SKIIPS’ Genesis album, which dropped on 31 October 2025. Positioned as the seventh track on the project, the song introduced listeners to his reflective yet assertive storytelling, rooted in the everyday realities that shape his sound. With the remix now confirmed for release on 2 April, anticipation is building around how the record will evolve with new voices added to its foundation.
“SECRET IS OUT (REMIX) DROPS THURSDAY… 2 APRIL. Go crazy & share with the whole world,” he shared in his announcement, calling on supporters to carry the release beyond his immediate reach.

The upcoming remix brings together a blend of distinct styles. Blxckie’s melodic approach and adaptability meet Emtee’s grounded delivery, creating a collaboration that bridges generational and regional influences. Emtee, widely recognised for his role in shaping modern South African hip-hop and leading Emtee Records just adds a layer of authority to the release, while Blxckie continues to represent a new wave of artists redefining the sound.
Behind the scenes, the production is handled by Vice Tavise and Vise Melo Metro, who bring a polished yet hard-edged feel to the track. Their contribution builds on the original’s tone while allowing space for each artist to leave a clear imprint. The result is expected to stay true to the song’s core while expanding its reach.
SKIIPS’ journey continues to reflect the environment that raised him. Emerging from Soweto, Johannesburg, he has steadily shaped an identity marked by versatility and intention. Known for adopting the alter ego Picasso, his sound often draws influence from international figures such as Young Thug, Future and Gunna, while remaining grounded in local narratives. His music frequently explores themes tied to ambition, survival and personal growth, offering a perspective that resonates with a wide audience.
His affiliation with Emtee Records and SNVL Music & Arts has further positioned him within a network that continues to shape his direction. Each release adds another layer to his catalogue, and Secret Is Out (Remix) arrives as a continuation of that path rather than a departure from it.
With the date now locked in, the focus shifts to how listeners will receive the collaboration. The combination of established influence and emerging energy places the track in a space where reach and relevance meet. As the release approaches, the message from SKIIPS remains simple being that the secret is no longer his to keep.
