Anything with Yusef’s “I’LL TELL YOU AT MIDNIGHT” is OUT!
I’ve talked a bit about Anything with Yusef’s talent with fellow industry commentators in the last couple of weeks…that conversation tends to circle around how immensely talented he is, his chosen sound and way of expression make him one of the most unique voices in Botswana, on the continent and in the world TBH.
“I’LL TELL YOU AT MIDNIGHT” is his latest project, an 8-track piece that makes all the right noise. The roll-out has also been super dope, with singles such as Eye to eye, Pretend as well as Shanghai paving the way for a well-rounded body of work. The production quality and engineering are top-notch, of course that tends to happen when Flex The Ninja, Amo Beatz, and Malcolm VX contribute.
‘Shanghai’ is definitely a song that should go way far, it’s got world music, with a pop edge and definitely elements of hip-hop. The choice of features is just perfect as well, what Sebaga did on June is top class, Titose sultry vocals make for a perfect duet and Jordan Moozy always gives the music exactly what it deserves. ‘Midnight Gospel’ is a beautiful listen, the perfect blend of feel and meaning. This project feels complete to me, and I urge you to listen to it…well worth the minutes!

One Take 267’s “Run the Payment” freestyle is the latest addition to his impressive catalogue. Over a hard-hitting, drill-inspired beat, One Take 267 once again flexes his prowess and street credibility with lines like, “Run the payment in cash, bring it to 20s, 50s, and 100s.” His delivery is raw and honest, never afraid to test himself, while reflecting his deep ties to the streets.
He navigates the beat with ease, dropping bars about moving with “heathens, shot callers, street bandits,” and emphasizing his commitment to authenticity. One Take 267 declares he’s no regular rapper, eschewing idle chatter for silent moves: “No chit chat ting no more, talk about moving in silence.”
This freestyle is a powerful display of One Take 267’s talent and his genuine connection to the street life, making it clear that he’s more than just a player in the game. He’s solidifying his position as a significant force in the hip-hop world.
