Hit single from Teargas' very own K.O. He stands alongside Kid X, and both are part of the collective, Cashtime Life. This is the second single from this artist's newly established solo career. It is delivered in a South African slang known as "Tsotsitaal", famous in the country's Kasi (Townships). Lyrics below:
[Verse One] K.O
