By @AtlehangMoloi on 05/10/2024 in Projects You Should Hear

Endowed Hip-hop artist and producer ByLwansta has released his second studio album, ‘THE CHIP IS StALE’. With this release, ByLwansta invites listeners on an introspective journey, delving deep into the human experience and the complexities of navigating life's challenges.

Described by ByLwansta as "a new chapter of the documentation of my human experience and time on this world," ‘THE CHIP IS StALE’ is set to captivate audiences with its raw emotion, thought-provoking lyricism, and innovative soundscapes. Through poignant storytelling and soul-stirring melodies, ByLwansta offers a glimpse into his world, inviting listeners to reflect on their own experiences and emotions.

The album's title, ‘THE CHIP IS StALE’ serves as a metaphor for the unaddressed traumas and triggers that linger beneath the surface, much like the unnoticed flaws in an old computer chip. ByLwansta masterfully explores themes of isolation, people-pleasing, burnout, anxiety, and perseverance, challenging listeners to confront their own ignored signs and prioritise their mental and emotional well-being.


"I wanted to create something that resonates with the human experience, mine particularly—the highs, the lows, and everything in between," says ByLwansta. "With 'THE CHIP IS StALE,' I hope to spark conversations, provoke thought, and inspire listeners to embrace their vulnerabilities."

Featuring tracks such as ‘OFFICE DAZE’, ‘ARE YOU PLEASED?’, and ‘CORSA LITE MUSIC’, the album showcases ByLwansta's evolution as an artist and storyteller. From introspective ballads to energetic anthems, each song offers a glimpse into ByLwansta's world, inviting listeners to join him on a journey of self-discovery and acceptance.
