Following the international success of “Naa Vera Level,” Kidd Santhe opens a new chapter with “Aku Level Lain,” a fresh interpretation that celebrates Malaysia’s identity through its language, culture and distinctive local musical influences.
The release of “Aku Level Lain” follows the remarkable success of “Naa Vera Level,” the second single from Kidd Santhe’s forthcoming album, “Mr. Crorepati.” Released under Kidd Next Door Productions and Sony Music Entertainment Malaysia, the single also received international distribution support from Sony Music Entertainment India South, making Kidd Santhe one of only a handful of Malaysian artistes to receive global distribution support.
The collaboration with Chennai-based artiste Raavanaa Ram exceeded expectations, surpassing one million YouTube views within just four days of its release. The single also attracted widespread media coverage across India, leading Kidd Santhe to Chennai for an exclusive press conference and a series of promotional engagements with local media.
For Kidd Santhe, however, that international success was never the final destination. Instead, it became the inspiration to bring the spirit of “Naa Vera Level” home through a fresh interpretation that proudly celebrates Malaysia’s own cultural identity.
From Chennai To Kelantan
If “Naa Vera Level” represented the meeting of Malaysia and Chennai through an international collaboration, “Aku Level Lain” turns that journey inward, celebrating the richness of Malaysia's own cultural diversity.
Far more than a Malay-language adaptation, “Aku Level Lain” introduces a fresh creative identity. While retaining the themes of confidence, ambition and perseverance that defined its predecessor, the song embraces the Malay language and incorporates the unmistakable influence of East Coast hip-hop, giving it an entirely new personality.
It is a reminder that music inspired by local identity can stand confidently alongside international productions.
To bring that vision to life, Kidd Santhe collaborates with Rxf Rhaled, one of the most exciting emerging names in Malaysia's East Coast hip-hop scene.
As a member of the TikTok-popular collective WRGA, Rxf Rhaled has built a reputation for his distinctive delivery rooted in the Kelantanese dialect and East Coast culture.
His contribution goes far beyond a guest appearance.
By weaving authentic Kelantanese expressions into the record, Rxf Rhaled becomes a defining part of “Aku Level Lain,” demonstrating that regional dialects and local cultures are not barriers to modern music, but they are among its greatest strengths.
At its heart, “Aku Level Lain” is a celebration of confidence, resilience and self-belief.
It reflects the journey of an artiste determined to dream beyond borders without ever losing sight of where he comes from.
The song also celebrates Malaysia's multicultural identity through its seamless fusion of the Malay language, Malaysian Indian cultural influences and the Kelantanese dialect, resulting in a musical statement that feels proudly Malaysian while remaining globally relevant.
Reflecting on the inspiration behind the song, Kidd Santhe shared, “‘Naa Vera Level’ changed my life in ways I never expected. The response in India, from the fans to the media showed me that music can cross borders without losing its identity. That experience inspired me to create ‘Aku Level Lain’.
"This song is my way of bringing that journey home, celebrating Malaysia, our language and our culture. Having Rxf Rhaled on the track made it even more meaningful because he represents the authentic voice and spirit of the East Coast.”
Further strengthening the song’s Malaysian identity, the official music video (MV) for “Aku Level Lain” was directed by Veshaan Raj and Kripxen, with the entire production filmed on location in Kelantan.
More than just a filming location, Kelantan serves as an integral part of the song’s visual storytelling. Its breathtaking landscapes, vibrant local culture and unmistakable East Coast character are brought to life through a contemporary visual approach that perfectly complements the song’s spirit, making the MV a tribute to Malaysia’s rich cultural diversity.
With “Aku Level Lain,” Kidd Santhe demonstrates that international success is not the end of the journey, but the beginning of a new creative chapter.
Having earned recognition beyond Malaysia's borders, he now channels that momentum into a celebration of home, embracing the language, cultures and communities that shaped him while continuing to push Malaysian music onto the global stage.
“Aku Level Lain” by Kidd Santhe feat. Rxf Rhaled will be available on all major digital streaming platforms, together with its official MV , from 31 July 2026.
