South African hip-hop fans have received an unexpected new release as A-Reece and DJ Clen unveil their collaborative album, ‘HOW DO YOU LOVE ME NOW?’. The 10-track project arrived on Friday, 13 November 2026, without an extensive promotional campaign, giving listeners a surprise release to kick off the weekend.
A-Reece announced the project on social media, keeping his message brief while confirming that the joint offering was officially available.
“HOW DO YOU LOVE ME NOW? 💔 A collaborative album by @DjClenSA & A-Reece. OUT NOW FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT. Happy Friday The 13TH,” the rapper wrote.
A-Reece And DJ Clen Take Their Partnership Further
The release represents another step in the creative relationship between the two Pretoria-linked artists, who have worked together over several years.
A-Reece previously contributed to DJ Clen’s projects as executive producer, including Viral and Too Viral. This time, however, the pair share the spotlight as joint artists on a full-length project.
Running for just over 27 minutes, the album offers 10 tracks that bring together their individual creative strengths while incorporating contributions from several names in the South African hip-hop scene.
Impressive Line-Up Of Guest Artists
The project features an extensive guest list, with Jay Jody, Nadia Nakai, Loatinover Pounds, Luna Florentino, Kid Kaydence, Kwazi M and Lowfeye all making appearances.
The tracklist opens with ‘REALLY A LOT’, followed by ‘YAMAL’ featuring Kid Kaydence and ‘MENACE’ featuring Loatinover Pounds.
Other collaborations include ‘4EVA’ with Lowfeye, ‘datpiffdotcom’ featuring Jay Jody and Luna Florentino, and ‘IZ U WIMME?’, which brings both collaborators together again.
Kwazi M features on ‘PARTYYYYYYYYYY (interlude)’ before the project moves into ‘DRIVE ME CRAZY’. The artist also returns on ‘FIND MY WAY’, while Nadia Nakai makes her appearance on the closing track, ‘SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT’.
A Surprise Release For Friday The 13th
The decision to release the album with little advance promotion adds to the surprise surrounding the project. Instead of an extended rollout, A-Reece and DJ Clen opted to make the music available and let listeners discover the collaboration for themselves.
For DJ Clen, the album strengthens his creative connection with A-Reece while placing their partnership at the centre of a complete body of work. For A-Reece, it offers another collaborative release that adds to his catalogue and keeps fans engaged with his unpredictable approach to dropping music.
With 10 tracks and a diverse collection of guest appearances, HOW DO YOU LOVE ME NOW? gives South African hip-hop fans plenty to explore.
The collaborative album is now available on major streaming platforms.
