Redveil announces brand new album “sankofa”.
REDVEIL
Maryland-born rapper, songwriter, and producer redveil is gearing up to release his fourth studio album, sankofa, on Thursday, December 4, 2025.
Despite his youth (he’s just 21) redveil has already earned serious attention for his fully self-produced work. sankofa is the next chapter of an already extremely impressive catalogue. His lead single Lone Star (featuring Carolyn Malachi) introduces the album’s sonic palette: dreamy Rhodes pianos, soulful backing vocals, and a melodic approach that blurs the line between rapping and singing.
The title itself, sankofa, a Ghanaian proverb meaning “go back and get it”, signals the album’s intent: a look back at roots and traditions to chart a path forward.
redveil’s previous full-length, Learn 2 Swim (2022), established him as a distinct voice rooted in the DMV region with jazz-influenced hip-hop production.
With sankofa, he appears poised to expand his sonic horizons while retaining that self-produced authenticity. This could be a breakthrough moment, the kind that turns critical buzz into broader mainstream recognition.
