After closing off 2024 with his mixtape Southside Broke My Heart, Realname Prada is back to talk about the story behind his project and his journey as a rapper.

Southside Broke My Heart boasts a newly found headspace for Realname Prada who approaches the mixtape with a very definitive energy. The project is littered with clever one-liners such as on the lead single 'Versace Flow' which is a great singular representation of the overall mood of the project. Prada boasts assertive verses to compliment 'Chef's' sample-heavy production that carries the mixtape to complete rap prowess. SBMH is an exploration of Botswana from Prada's eyes. From the OG tales of encouragement to the vibrant lines about having diamonds in the backyard, Realname paints a vivid scenery of a seemingly chaotic world in which he thrives regardless.
