Oakland rapper and producer Ovrkast. has returned with his new single “SMALL TALK” (feat. Samara Cyn) — out now via IIIXL Studio along with an accompanying music video. Stamping his first new music of 2025, the track is accented by a hypnotic instrumental, tenacious hi-hats, and immersive lyrical acrobatics. With a genre-revitalizing sound rooted in the meditative ethos of classic hip-hop, “SMALL TALK” (feat. Samara Cyn) follows a standout 2024 year for Ovrkast. that saw him link with Grammy-winning super producer Cardo for their collab tape KAST GOT WINGS, open for MAVI on his headlining shadowbox tour — and even freestyle with Lupe Fiasco during an appearance on Sway In The Morning. He’s also recently collaborated with the likes of Drake (“Red Button“ and “The Shoe Fits”), Earl Sweatshirt (“EL TORO COMBO MEAL”), redveil (“automatic”), and MAVI (“Chiasma” and “Reason”).

Hailed for his jazz-influenced, sample-based production style and reflective bars, Ovrkast. has made a name for himself as one of the new faces of Bay Area hip-hop for his thoughtful lyricism and minimalist sound. After first making waves with his 2020 debut solo album Try Again, he released six-track project RESET! in 2023, which featured “TBH!”, his biggest song to date, and also made a standout appearance alongside MAVI on Charlotte rapper MESSIAH!‘s “silent heel” last summer.
