Rapper kiyo just unleashed two sharp new collaborations—teaming up with O/C Records’ Ryannah J on “Lambingan na This” and Balcony Entertainment’s Zild on “Pambihira.” The first rides a laid-back boom-bap groove, while the second locks into a funk-tinged bounce, showcasing kiyo’s ability to shift gears without losing momentum.Further evidencethat he’s one of the most adaptable MCs in the game; equally at home in the mainstream as he is in the underground hiphop scene.

“Lambingan na This” plays like a late-night cipher, with kiyo and Ryannah J trading verses over dusty loops and a head-nodding rhythm. Meanwhile, “PAMBIHIRA” takes a different approach – Zild and kiyo ride a slick bassline, turning the track into a full-blown groove. This isn’t kiyo’s first attempt at experimenting with the hip-hop genre. Earlier this year, he linked up with rap heavyweight Gloc-9 for “Another Day,” a chaotic jersey club banger that proved he’s not afraid to push boundaries.

Four years have passed since kiyo’s debut HARANASA dropped in 2021, and since then, he’s been sharpening his craft; dabbling in everything from pluggnb to club beats while staying rooted in his signature backpack-rap introspection. These latest tracks aren’t just proof he’s evolving; they’re a signal that he’s still got plenty to say.
