In “Frustrated”, Titose and South African songstress Hanna craft a delicate yet emotionally potent ballad that captures the quiet chaos of loving someone indecisive. The track is reflective and anxious, built on minimalist R&B production that lets the vocals breathe—and ache.

Both artists deliver tender yet resolute performances, embodying a love that’s hanging by a thread. The lyrics are a plea for clarity, a call to action. “I’m ready to jump,” they seem to say, “but I can’t keep shrinking to fit into your uncertainty.” It’s a relatable tug-of-war: staying for love, but dying for a decision.

“Frustrated” doesn’t scream—it simmers. It’s for those late-night overthinks, when your heart wants answers, but your person keeps you on pause. A hauntingly beautiful collaboration that sits with you long after the music fades.

“Rugged-Raw” is exactly what it sounds like—unfiltered, charged, and unapologetically hip-hop. On this collab, AbTheActivist and Zeus are in rare form, combining new-school energy with OG precision.

Ab opens the track with braggadocio and bite—talking his wins, taking aim, and holding his ground. The bars are sharp, direct, and chest-out confident, calling out peers and asserting position with zero hesitation. There’s no filler here—just straight jabs and flexes from a young rapper who knows exactly where he’s headed.

Then comes Zeus, stepping in like the seasoned heavyweight he is. It’s big bro energy, calm and calculated but lethal. He rides the beat with authority, delivering lines that land with experience and swagger. It’s the “I’ve seen it all, now watch me win again” type of verse that only a vet can pull off.

“Rugged-Raw” isn’t just a track—it’s a moment. A cross-generational power move that speaks to where hip-hop in Botswana has been, and where it’s going. This one’s for the heads, the spitters, and the culture.
