Vocab on fire
This work was created by Noah Peterson and Nicholas Pacheo aka Nick Shan. Nick and I were at one of our usual studio sessions and made a dark and epic track. Easy pace, beautiful backgrounds, soulful organ, fat synth licks, cool effects. We were pretty proud of it.
Nick said he knew the perfect artist to collaborate for this vibe. He brought in Andrea "Vocab" Sanderson and they went to work.
This track is fire.
On the journey
“Estimeleni” is a heartfelt and deeply reflective Afro-fusion anthem by Pitso97, Thole Lesilo, Manekoo, and Mqhele. The song captures the emotional journey of individuals searching for direction, purpose, and hope while navigating the challenges of everyday life. Rooted in authentic African storytelling, “Estimeleni” speaks directly to dreamers, hustlers, and anyone striving for a better future despite uncertainty and hardship.

The track 'Marching' - in combination with one of reggae's greatest legends Max Romeo - heralds the release of Mystikal Man's next album, as well as the release of his very first One riddim release as a producer, entitled 'Freestyle Riddim', featuring Marsel Rahguel Blood and Swiff Bounty.
