Rapper and singer Balan Kash, celebrated for his chart-topping hits and genre-defying fusion tracks, has released his first Malay-language album, Cekap.
The album is a vibrant pop-rap fusion featuring five tracks encompassing creativity, culture and innovation, further showcasing the Klang-born artiste’s versatility.
Sharing his motivation for venturing into a Malay-language project, he said, “We shouldn’t be confined by labels based on race. Above all, we are Malaysians and that is what matters most.”
Balan Kash told Bernama that Cekap aimed to challenge societal divisions and inspire a sense of togetherness.
“I wanted to break these barriers, build bridges of unity and inspire the upcoming generation to embrace this spirit of inclusivity and shared identity.”
He expressed gratitude to his mentors, such as renowned artiste Faizal Tahir, for help on his Malay album.
“Having such accomplished mentors guiding me was both a privilege and a challenge. I felt the responsibility to ensure that my work meet the high standards they uphold in their craft,” he said.
