Fast-rising Xhosa rapper B8SE has teamed up with Lizzy Lane for their highly anticipated new single “PAKISHA,” produced by Anatii. The track, a motivational street anthem, officially drops this Friday on all major streaming platforms, accompanied by a street-cinematic music video directed by Shawn Crekle — premiering on YouTube.
“PAKISHA,” which loosely translates to “pack up,” is a metaphor for elevating your lifestyle and pushing yourself to the next level. Over hard-hitting production, B8SE and Lizzy Lane trade dynamic verses in IsiXhosa, delivering a vibrant, motivational anthem for anyone committed to the hustle.
The collaboration captures a moment where authenticity meets ambition. Both artists bring their unique sonic identities to the record — B8SE’s confident cadence and sharp delivery anchor the track’s energy, while Lizzy Lane’s melodic tone adds texture and depth, creating a sound that bridges grit and inspiration. Their chemistry is effortless, turning “PAKISHA” into a bold statement of intent rather than just another release.
Behind the boards, Anatii delivers a production that feels cinematic yet street-rooted and layered with rich drum patterns, bass-heavy rhythm, and subtle melodic loops that reflect South Africa’s evolving sonic identity. His signature touch adds an undeniable weight to the song, making it not only a motivational anthem but also a record built for longevity.
Visually, Shawn Crekle’s direction brings the song’s message to life through storytelling and atmosphere. The video captures snapshots of township life, ambition and movement by blending realism with aspiration. Each frame underscores the track’s theme of progress and perseverance, mirroring the relentless drive that defines both B8SE and Lizzy Lane. With “PAKISHA,” the duo isn’t just dropping music and they’re ushering in a declaration of growth, resilience and purpose.
