In April 2021, Voyage pursued his solo career by releasing "Pleši" (Dance), featuring J Fado, for the official soundtrack to the Serbian crime film Južni vetar 2: Ubrzanje.[6] It was followed by "Kartel" (Cartel) and "Bounce" featuring Snik in July. In the same month, he also collaborated with rappers Rasta and Nucci on singles "Aman" (For God's Sake) and "Balkan" (Balkans), respectively.[7] In September, Voyage performed at the Music Week Festival in Ušće Park, Belgrade.[8]
