After making waves internationally with the viral hit “Naa Vera Level,” Malaysian rapper and songwriter Kidd Santhe is back with a brand-new single that proudly embraces his roots.
Titled “Aku Level Lain,” the song is more than just another release—it’s a celebration of Malaysia’s diverse identity, languages, and musical heritage.
Released on 31 July 2026, “Aku Level Lain” marks another exciting chapter in Kidd Santhe’s career. Instead of chasing another international crossover, the artist has chosen to bring his global experience home by creating music that represents Malaysia on its own terms.
From International Recognition to Malaysian Identity
The journey to “Aku Level Lain” began with the incredible success of “Naa Vera Level,” the second single from Kidd Santhe’s upcoming album, Mr. Crorepati.
Released under Kidd Next Door Productions and Sony Music Entertainment Malaysia, the track received international distribution support from Sony Music Entertainment India South—an achievement earned by only a handful of Malaysian artists.
The collaboration with Chennai-based rapper Raavanaa Ram quickly exceeded expectations, surpassing one million YouTube views in just four days. The song’s popularity also attracted extensive media attention across India, leading Kidd Santhe to Chennai for exclusive interviews, press conferences, and promotional appearances.
While many artists would continue pursuing international success, Kidd Santhe saw this milestone as an opportunity to reconnect with his own culture.
Rather than moving away from his Malaysian identity, he decided to celebrate it even more boldly.
“Aku Level Lain” Is More Than Just a Malay Version
Although inspired by “Naa Vera Level,” “Aku Level Lain” is not simply a translated version.
Instead, it introduces an entirely fresh musical identity while retaining the themes of confidence, perseverance, and ambition that resonated with listeners worldwide.
This time, Kidd Santhe embraces the Malay language while incorporating the unmistakable flavour of East Coast hip-hop, giving the song a unique personality that feels both modern and authentically Malaysian.
It proves that music rooted in local culture can stand confidently alongside international productions without losing its originality.
Rxf Rhaled Brings the Voice of Kelantan
One of the biggest highlights of the song is Kidd Santhe’s collaboration with Rxf Rhaled, an emerging talent from Malaysia’s East Coast hip-hop scene.
Known as a member of the viral TikTok collective WRGA, Rxf Rhaled has built a growing fanbase through his authentic use of the Kelantanese dialect and East Coast culture.
His contribution goes far beyond delivering a guest verse.
By naturally blending Kelantanese expressions into the lyrics, Rxf Rhaled helps shape the song’s identity, showing that regional dialects are not limitations—they are strengths that enrich Malaysia’s music scene.
The collaboration also reflects the growing appreciation for local cultures in contemporary Malaysian music.
Celebrating Confidence and National Pride
At its core, “Aku Level Lain” is an anthem about believing in yourself while staying true to your roots.
The song reflects Kidd Santhe’s own journey—from a Malaysian artist with global ambitions to someone who has successfully gained international recognition without compromising his identity.
Its powerful message encourages listeners to dream beyond borders while remaining proud of where they come from.
Perhaps the song’s greatest achievement is how naturally it blends multiple cultural influences.
Malay lyrics, Malaysian Indian musical elements, and the Kelantanese dialect come together to create a sound that feels uniquely Malaysian yet universally appealing.
It serves as a reminder that diversity has always been one of Malaysia’s greatest creative strengths.
Kelantan Takes the Spotlight in the Official Music Video
The celebration of Malaysian identity extends beyond the music itself.
Directed by Veshaan Raj and Kripxen, the official music video for “Aku Level Lain” was filmed entirely in Kelantan, showcasing the state’s breathtaking scenery, vibrant traditions, and rich cultural heritage.
Instead of merely using Kelantan as a backdrop, the music video places the state at the heart of its storytelling.
Through contemporary cinematography and energetic visuals, viewers are introduced to the unique charm of Malaysia’s East Coast, creating an authentic visual experience that complements the song’s uplifting message.
The music video becomes not only a promotional tool but also a tribute to Malaysia’s cultural diversity.
Kidd Santhe’s Vision for Malaysian Music
Reflecting on the inspiration behind the song, Kidd Santhe shared that the overwhelming response to “Naa Vera Level” changed his perspective on music.
The positive reception from fans and media in India proved that songs could travel across borders without sacrificing their cultural identity.
That experience inspired him to create “Aku Level Lain” as a way of bringing the journey back home.
Collaborating with Rxf Rhaled made the project even more meaningful, as the rapper represents the authentic voice and spirit of Malaysia’s East Coast.
Together, they have created a song that proudly showcases Malaysian culture while remaining relevant to international audiences.
A New Chapter for Malaysian Hip-Hop
With “Aku Level Lain,” Kidd Santhe demonstrates that global recognition is not the final destination—it is simply the beginning of a larger mission.
Rather than following global trends, he chooses to elevate Malaysian languages, cultures, and communities through music that feels genuine and relatable.
This approach not only strengthens his artistic identity but also contributes to the growing visibility of Malaysian hip-hop on the world stage.
As more local artists embrace their own heritage, songs like “Aku Level Lain” prove that authenticity remains one of the most powerful tools in modern music.
The single, together with its official music video, is now available on all major digital streaming platforms, inviting audiences both in Malaysia and abroad to experience a sound that is proudly local while confidently global.
