Blxckie – lonely ft. L.A.X

South African rapper and musician Blxckie steps into Nigerian Afropop territory on “lonely”, a brand new collaboration with L.A.X. The record lands as a September 2026 team-up between two acts known for moving easily between rap and melody.

It follows Blxckie’s appearance on Mzukulu’s “Too Much,” which dropped earlier in September. So “lonely” arrives while he is still active, and it pulls L.A.X into that same run. Both artists get room here, yet the arrangement never feels overcrowded.

Blxckie leans away from straight rap on “lonely,” delivering major melodic vocals instead. L.A.X, however, brings the silky Afropop presence tied to his own discography. Those differences are what make the collaboration work.

Blxckie has also stretched his influence beyond South African hip-hop, working across the continent’s diverse scenes. Partnering with L.A.X pushes that cross-border strategy further, because the song can reach fans already familiar with Afrobeats and melodic rap.

The track is available on all major digital streaming services. Have you listened to “lonely” yet? Drop your thoughts on the combo in the comment section below.
