serious steez all over this. love the general feel, you're like a group in the club who have a section all to themselves, cordoned off by a red velvet rope of course.

oooooh this is a whole new direction for you and I'm loving it! I've been listening to more African hip hop recently and can hear some influences, especially the cool vocal effect and chorus rhythm. Late-night dancefloor vibes!
