Da Cintra and Madz GCT Drop a Joint EP “Light Skin, Dark Truth”

Sierra Leone’s hip-hop scene just got a serious shake-up. On June 6th, 2025, Da Cintra and Madz CGT released their joint EP titled Light Skin, Dark Truth , a 6-track project that blends class, street vibes, resilience, and real-life experiences into something fresh and powerful.

Released on June 6th, 2025, the EP has already amassed over 4,000 streams on Audiomack, signaling a strong reception from fans and critics alike. It’s more than just an impressive debut collaboration, it’s a historic milestone.

This marks the first time a Lebanese-Sierra Leonean rap duo has co-created a full project, and the result is a body of work that’s both sonically rich and culturally significant.

Da Cintra is no stranger to the rap game. He made waves with Chances in 2020, followed by Chances 2 in 2022, and then I’m Not a Rapper in 2023. Each release has shown growth, and this new EP is further proof of his consistency and hunger.

Teaming up with the equally dynamic Madz CGT adds a whole new flavor to the project. Known for his linguistic versatility and effortless code-switching between languages, Madz brings a continental spice to the project that resonates far beyond Sierra Leone. His ability to connect with diverse audiences adds depth to the EP, giving it an international appeal while remaining rooted in African identity.

From street tales told with elegance to bars soaked in hard truths, the EP explores themes of identity, survival, ambition, and authenticity. Each track is laced with classic punchlines and introspective storytelling, showcasing the duo’s undeniable chemistry and lyrical craftsmanship.

From the production to the lyrical content, Light Skin, Dark Truth doesn’t just sound good, it feels real. It’s about life in the streets, the struggle to rise, and the elegance of staying true to yourself through it all.
