Wordz Celebrates Two Years of “People Forget To Be People” Album. Today marks a major milestone in South African hip-hop as Wordz, one of the genre’s most introspective voices, celebrates the second anniversary of his critically acclaimed project, People Forget To Be People.
Taking to social media with a heartfelt message, the rapper simply wrote: “TODAY MARKS 2 YEARS OF ‘PEOPLE FORGET TO BE PEOPLE’ thank you for the love ❤️🤲🏽”
Though brief, the message echoes the deep gratitude Wordz has consistently shown to fans who connected with the project’s raw vulnerability, social reflection, and poetic storytelling.
Released in 2023, People Forget To Be People arrived as more than just an album — it was a wake-up call. Through soulful instrumentals, reflective bars, and a calm, steady cadence, Wordz invited listeners to peel back the layers of ego, apathy, and materialism that often dominate the modern world.
In a genre where bravado often overshadows introspection, Wordz chose instead to hold up a mirror to society — and himself. Tracks like “Song Long,” “Still Love,” and “Little Brother” have remained favourites in the hearts of fans who found solace in his words.
Over the past two years, the album has inspired a slew of SA Hip hop fans, and it’s not by surprise that most fans have joined the chorus to celebrate Wordz’s exceptional body of work. Many still describe it as a “sleeper classic” that continues to age gracefully — and gain more meaning with each replay.
Whether or not a follow-up is in the works, People Forget To Be People remains a landmark in Wordz’s catalogue and a reminder that in the pursuit of success, we should never lose sight of what makes us human.
