Kane Keid Launches Debut Album Rollout With “SON OF SOIL (RESET)” Visualizer

Kane Keid Launches Debut Album Rollout With “SON OF SOIL (RESET)” Visualizer. Thembisa’s rising hip-hop star Kane Keid has launched the campaign for his eagerly awaited debut album by dropping the official visualizer for “SON OF SOIL (RESET)” on YouTube.

The track acts as the lead single and boldly announces the forthcoming album titled Son of Soil, which is expected later this year. Known offstage as Lonwabo Nkhoesa, Kane Keid delivers complex, thought-provoking lyrics laid over a raw and introspective beat.

The song explores themes of struggle, cultural heritage, personal transformation, and reclaiming identity. Listeners have drawn comparisons to Kendrick Lamar for his storytelling prowess, while praising the cinematic feel of the visualizer.

Filmed in Kane Keid’s hometown of Thembisa, the visualizer captures the streets that shaped him. It marks his first full music video shoot and adds a powerful sense of authenticity to the project. Through vivid township scenes and reflective close-ups, the visuals mirror the album’s message: a son returning to his roots after a period of misdirection, now coming into focus with renewed purpose.

Kane Keid announced the album as a work “born out of misdirection with clarity” across his social platforms. This rollout signals 2026 as a breakthrough year for the Thembisa artist, who has been steadily growing his fanbase with earlier releases such as “Skuta Baba (Remix)” and “Brown Sugar.”

As South African hip-hop gains momentum on the world stage, Son of Soil is set to introduce a fresh, grounded voice that speaks from the heart. With more singles, visuals, and surprises expected throughout the year, Kane Keid’s debut album is shaping up to be one of 2026’s most anticipated local releases.
