Han-C, Priscilla K, and Flex The Ninja unveil ‘The Journey’ EP in collaboration with St. Louis Lager’s #HypeTheHomegrown Campaign
There’s a remarkable alchemy that unfolds when top talents converge for a project designed to celebrate excellence, especially when a brand recognizes and supports the industry’s contributions. ‘The Journey’ EP, a six-track masterpiece, is a testament to this synergy. Produced by Flex The Ninja, with Han-C and Priscilla K lending their prowess to the writing and vocals, the EP begins with Han-C’s uniquely Botswana narrative on ‘Re Ya Pele.’ Here, he candidly reflects on his journey, grappling with personal growth while pleading for patience, creating a compelling dialogue. Priscilla seamlessly enters the fray, echoing Han-C’s sentiments, infusing the track with soulful depth against Flex’s soft keys, resulting in an electrifying collaboration.
‘Oa nkgarakgatsha,’ picks up the pace with an Afrobeat vibe, serving as a continuation of the narrative introduced in the opener. Han-C navigates through various challenges while Priscilla remains distant, seemingly unfazed by the situation. The track exudes a lively energy, capturing the essence of fun and lived experiences in a captivating manner.
In ‘On My Life,’ Priscilla explores themes of love, while also addressing the pain caused by her partner. Han-C’s response is introspective, shifting the focus away from blame. He encourages her to reflect on her own role in their relationship or ‘situationship’.
“Mma Nna” is a standout track where Han-C delves into addressing rumors about his long-standing partner, pledging her the world, and earnestly inviting her to become his beloved. The song beautifully utilizes Setswana, evoking emotion and charm, and is poised to expand the project’s reach to new audiences. This, alongside the captivating musical journey shared by these artists, promises an engaging experience for listeners.
The project, from production to recording, was completed in just one week, with Flex delivering stellar work in mixing and mastering. The result is truly impressive, highlighting Flex’s talent and dedication to the project. Now available for streaming, “The Journey” EP, performed by Han-C & Priscilla K and written by Asmaah Priscilla Khan, Hanceford Phemo Magapatona, and Pearson Laurence Banda, is a testament to local creativity. We’re excited to promote and support this homegrown talent through #HypeTheHomegrown

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.
