The Big Hash has set the streets talking after officially revealing that his third official mixtape is on the way. Titled PRESS HASH VOL. 1, the project signals a return to the spotlight for the rapper, who confirmed the news in a fresh announcement. This marks an important moment in his career as he adds another body of work to his catalogue, and he has made it clear that the rollout is already in motion.
The mixtape, which he has titled PRESS HASH VOL. 1, positions itself as his third official release in mixtape format. What makes this announcement stand out is how directly The Big Hash delivered it, laying out the title and the promise of new music without unnecessary buildup. By keeping the message straightforward, he has ensured that all attention is focused squarely on what matters most: the mixtape itself.
While many details remain under wraps, the confirmation of the title alone has already generated anticipation. The way PRESS HASH VOL. 1 has been framed suggests a project that might not stand on its own, but potentially lead into something bigger, hinting at a series of volumes to follow. That possibility alone has sparked excitement among listeners who are eager to know what else could be coming under the same banner.
The announcement was accompanied by additional creative details, including confirmation that the photography and artwork for the rollout were put together by Southmadeit. This collaboration adds a visual identity to the mixtape, matching the anticipation surrounding the music with striking imagery.
The first taste of the project arrives this week with the track titled WHAT!, which is scheduled for release on Friday, 26 September. This single acts as the opening moment of the rollout, giving the mixtape its first breath of life before the rest of the songs are revealed. By selecting WHAT! as the first track to set the tone, The Big Hash has positioned it as the energy that introduces the wider project.
The mixtape has been recorded at Family Tree Studios, a space that has been home to some of the most defining music in South African hip-hop, which adds weight to where this project has taken shape. To complement the sound, the visuals that accompany PRESS HASH VOL. 1 have been brought to life by Southmadeit, whose photography and artwork are part of the overall presentation. This ensures that when the music arrives, it carries not only the sound but also a visual identity that ties it all together.
With PRESS HASH VOL. 1 confirmed, the countdown has officially begun. The Big Hash has not yet revealed how many tracks will feature on the project or when the full body of work will drop, but what is clear is that the door has been opened. The rollout starts with WHAT! this Friday, and from there, all eyes are set firmly on what will follow as the mixtape comes into full view.
