The smash hit aims to become the Summer anthem for Cape Town Ghetto life. It showcases ghetto life and how people find beauty is having a good time even though they face hardships on a daily basis. Award winning producer Tweezy produced the Single with Wolfkraft Productions. The sound is fresh and hard-hitting on par with International Hip-Hop releases
