Lesotho’s AJFawdySeven is steadily carving out a name for himself on the international stage. After a successful collaboration in August with Eswatini rapper Amarii on the track “Mamba,” AJFawdySeven now returns with a feature on “IF IT EVER DROPS,” the latest release by America and Brooklyn’s own 97otis. This isn’t their first partnership; the two previously joined forces on “When Birds Fly,” released in March 2024, a song that underscored their seamless, unforced artistic chemistry.

“IF IT EVER DROPS” is an alternative rap piece distinguished by its cool, laid-back production and a subtle, minimalist instrumentation that foregrounds the raw lyricism and storytelling of both rappers. The track’s production is sparse yet emotionally resonant, creating a rich auditory experience for listeners. With its sangfroid ambiance and undercurrents of jazz and soul, the song is a perfect fit for the underground rap scene, emanating a mellow, contemplative vibe.

On this song, AJFawdySeven primarily delivers his verse in English, delving into narratives of his childhood and life experiences, candidly juxtaposing moments of light and shadow. He also brings a combative energy, challenging fellow rappers to establish a solid body of work before stepping into the ring with him. Despite the predominantly English lyrics, AJFawdySeven remains firmly anchored in his cultural roots, infusing his verse with lines in Sotho, his native tongue.

A rising luminary from the soil of Lesotho, AJFawdySeven recently marked a milestone with 1,000 streams for his single “RAGNARÖK,” released in February this year. His ability to traverse a spectrum of styles—from introspective, thought-provoking lyrics to vibrant, melodic tunes and alternative lo-fi sounds—cements his status as an artist to watch in the African rap landscape.
