Cape Town’s dynamic hip-hop duo, 3face & Cee, are back with their latest single, Gelato. The inspiration for Gelato came from a night out in Cape Town when the duo began to feel the wave of recognition for their work. The title represents the concept of being “suave like gelato” rather than “cool like ice cream,” celebrating authenticity, individuality, and mutual support within a community. “Gelato is about confidence without ego,” the duo share. “It’s a reminder to embrace genuine support and drop the act of trying to be ‘too cool.’ Cape Town’s culture and energy played a big role in shaping this song.”

This track continues their tradition of pushing boundaries while embracing authentic connections. The creative process for Gelato was swift and organic. The duo completed the track in just one week and debuted it live at the DJ Switch Put Me On podcast, where the audience immediately connected with its infectious hook and feel-good rhythm. Unlike their previous high-energy tracks like Communicate This and Shine On, Gelato takes a softer, more introspective approach, creating the perfect vibe for connecting with people who truly get you. The duo describes it as a “palate cleanser” that offers a refreshing change of pace in their discography.
As part of the Alien Gang movement, Gelato aligns perfectly with the duo’s mission to build a community that celebrates uniqueness and self-expression. “Alien Gang is about making everyone feel at home. With Gelato, we’re inviting people to let loose and be unapologetically themselves.”
With 2025 on the horizon, the duo are planning bigger shows, more music, and taking Alien Gang global. They aim to showcase South African talent on a worldwide stage, continuing to connect with fans through meaningful music and unforgettable live performances.
Gelato is available now on all major streaming platforms. Join the Alien Gang and vibe with 3face & Cee – @official3facecee
