BABYG!RL ZAE Drops High-Energy Single “Tlean” Featuring Sastii. Johannesburg trap star BABYG!RL ZAE is keeping her foot firmly on the gas. The Emtee Records artist has officially released her latest single, “Tlean,” featuring fast-rising KwaZulu-Natal rapper Sastii, delivering a high-energy collaboration that further cements her place among South Africa’s exciting new wave of hip-hop talent.
The release follows weeks of anticipation after ZAE sparked curiosity with a cryptic social media post that read, “GUESS THE TLEAN DROP DATE : (?? // 08 // 26 ) TLEAN. FT SASTII.” Fans quickly began speculating about the release date, with many expecting the song to arrive later in August. She eventually revealed that “Tlean” would drop on 7 August before celebrating its arrival with a simple announcement: “TLEAN FT @sastii_sa OUT NOW!!!” alongside a Spotify link.
The single continues an impressive run for ZAE, who has steadily built momentum since the release of her 2025 project MATR!ARCHY. The all-female body of work explored themes of womanhood, resilience, sisterhood and gender-based violence, earning praise for its bold storytelling. Earlier this year, she also teamed up with Emtee on the single “Manje,” showcasing her growing presence within the label and the broader South African hip-hop scene.
With “Tlean,” ZAE shifts into collaborative mode alongside one of KwaZulu-Natal’s most exciting young voices. Sastii, who has gained recognition through his work with The Qwellers and platinum-certified collaborations, including records with Sjava, brings his signature versatility to the track. His ability to blend sharp lyricism with melodic and Afro-inspired influences adds another dimension to the record.
Early reactions have centred on the chemistry between the two artists. ZAE’s commanding trap delivery meets Sastii’s gritty South Coast style, creating a record that feels energetic, confident and built for repeat listens. The collaboration also reflects ZAE’s continued willingness to expand her sound while remaining true to the bold identity she has established as the First Lady of Emtee Records.
“Tlean” is now available on all major streaming platforms, giving fans another taste of BABYG!RL ZAE’s evolving artistry as she continues to build on an already impressive run of releases.
