South African rapper and songwriter PatricKxxLee returns with DIARY OF AN ARSONIST 2, the sequel to his 2017 debut album. Released on October 23, 2026, through ARTIS, the 21-track project revisits the artistic identity that helped establish his place in South Africa’s alternative hip-hop scene.
Known for blending trap with punk-rock influences, atmospheric production and emotionally charged songwriting, PatricKxxLee uses the album to continue the story behind one of his defining projects.
Across DIARY OF AN ARSONIST 2, PatricKxxLee delivers a collection that moves between intense rap performances, introspective moments and darker musical textures. The tracklist includes “DONT STOP,” “NEVAN,” “TOO LIT TOO WILD,” “SNST BLVD 2,” “FORGIVER” and “DARK SIDE MOON.” Other titles, including “DANGEROUS & ANXIOUS,” “RATED-R” and “SEROTONIN SYNDROME,” suggest the personal and emotionally complex territory explored throughout the project.
The album builds on the foundation of the original Diary Of An Arsonist, released in 2017, which introduced listeners to PatricKxxLee’s distinctive blend of experimental hip-hop, trap and punk-inspired influences. Since then, he has expanded his catalogue with projects such as Nowhere Child, Eternity and ROOM 37, continuing to explore different sounds while maintaining the raw, alternative edge associated with his music.
Listeners can explore more of PatricKxxLee’s catalogue through songs such as “SNST BLVD,” “Broken Boys Break Toys,” “Dark Side Down” featuring J. Molley and “2017.” These releases offer context for the musical direction behind the new album, connecting his earlier work with the ideas and sounds developed in DIARY OF AN ARSONIST 2.
DIARY OF AN ARSONIST 2 by PatricKxxLee is available on digital music platforms, including Apple Music. With 21 tracks spanning approximately 56 minutes, the album gives fans a substantial collection to explore while introducing new listeners to the rapper’s alternative approach to hip-hop.
