Watch: Tyler ICU Teases His Forthcoming Project, “Distortion 2”
South African producer and amapiano artist Tyler ICU has announced a new project titled Distortion 2, which is scheduled for release in November. The artist shared the update via Instagram, posting a brief message that read: “Distortion 2 dropping this November.” While no further details such as the tracklist, cover art, or featured collaborators have been made public at this stage, the announcement confirms a new release is on the way.
Tyler ICU, known for his signature sound in amapiano and collaborative work with several artists in the genre, has steadily built a name for himself in the South African music scene. His recent work includes the Lucent album, which was released in late 2024. That project followed a consistent release schedule throughout the year, with singles and collaborations gaining widespread traction.
Earlier in 2024, Tyler ICU also released an EP titled Distortion. That project included various featured artists and was part of the rollout strategy for his independent platform. Distortion 2 appears to follow as a continuation of that project, potentially expanding the themes or production style introduced in the initial release.
Tyler ICU’s previous major hits include the widely successful track Mnike, which contributed significantly to his rise in popularity. The producer has been credited for his work in shaping some of the most prominent amapiano records in recent years, collaborating with artists across the spectrum of the genre.
At the time of the announcement, there has been no further details of what fans can expect from Distortion 2. However, the mention of a November release indicates that updates may be rolled out in the coming weeks as the date approaches.
Tyler ICU’s latest announcement adds to an already consistent run of music releases. The confirmation of Distortion 2 continues the momentum of his 2024 work and signals a new chapter as he moves toward the final quarter of the year with another full-length project.
