Review
Dobby with some heart truths and some hard bars. A song that, unfortunately, needs to be sung.

Commanding and full of fire. It's the wake up call for action we all need to hear. DOBBY and Barkaa deliver this with strength, relentless emotion, fierce words and production to drive that energy to want to do something about it. Huge track!

Searing stuff on this track. It's full of conviction and soul alight. We knew Dobby had the bars but the extra verse from Barkaa makes it a real home run.
