East Oakland rapper-producer Ovrkast returns with sharp new single ‘Play This’
The Oakland rapper-producer keeps momentum high with a concise Hip-Hop release after ‘Wata’.
Ovrkast is back with ‘Play This’, a tight new single that reminds listeners why his name keeps moving through underground Hip-Hop circles. Released on May 6, the track runs just over two and a half minutes, giving the Oakland artist enough room to flex without overstaying its welcome.
Known for his textured production, reflective writing and quietly intense delivery, Ovrkast uses ‘Play This’ to keep his recent run active. The single follows April’s ‘Wata’ with Niontay, adding another sharp entry to his 2026 catalogue.
Rather than chase a bloated rollout, ‘Play This’ feels direct and intentional. It lands as a compact statement from an artist still refining his lane whilst staying rooted in the Jazz-tinted, lo-fi sensibility that helped introduce him to wider listeners.
