Emile YX? will be releasing his fifth album with his latest project called “Mixed Mense”, a mentorship-style album which was developed with a group of  youth from Lavender Hill, on the Cape Flats.  “Mixed Mense” members include Leeroy Phillips (B-boy Malis), Stephan Benting (B-boy Mouse) and Charlton Eftha (B-boy Lank Genoeg). The “Mixed Mense” album features 12 tracks, mostly Afrikaans, and has its roots in the history of Emile's work with these young men over the years.
