Prepare for an unprecedented performance as Sizwe Alakine and Reason — two musical identities of the same visionary artist — face off
in the bold and theatrical XXI Soundclash, taking place on Saturday, 27th September 2025 at the Big Top Arena, Carnival City.
This is not a battle between rivals — it’s a sonic journey through time, culture, and selfmastery. The XXI Soundclash is a multi-dimensional, live concept event that explores 21 years of musical evolution, as Reason (the conscious lyricist and hip-hop storyteller) meets Sizwe Alakine (the Amapiano disruptor and futuristic voice of the streets) on stage.
Expect a cinematic, technology-driven performance where music, visuals, storytelling, and sound design converge in a high-production show. Featuring real-time crowd interaction, curated video interludes, special guest appearances, and a live reinterpretation of iconic tracks, the XXI Soundclash is both a celebration and confrontation of creative identity.
“This is me, versus me. It’s a celebration of transformation — from where I started, to where I’m headed,” says Sizwe Alakine. “Reason and Sizwe aren’t in competition; they’re in conversation,” he adds. “This is a tribute to the evolution of sound, style, and self.”
