Mikhail’s ‘Too Much Juice’ and ‘Mrs Gabz City’: A ‘Review’
Reviewing other people’s creative when you’re one yourself can be such trip if im being honest. I’ve known MIK through his exploits with the skilled crew S.E.G, his music production and just out here in the small Southern African capital Gaborone. Mikhail shared two joints with me over a week ago and it took me a bit to get to the, possibly because i was intimidated by the work he’d shared. First up ‘Mrs Gabz City’, the joint has a nice laid back track with a bass reminiscent of the Tupac and Daz Dillinger’s work (you gotta be from the old school to understand this), in it he chronicles the story of a girl caught up in the city lights, “the kinda girl that kiss and go tell”. Just press play and enjoy the music
The beats are swavy, not sure what that means but it really seems to be a fitting descriptor to this song. On it MIK flexes with ease, “doing it like a pimp do…it aint what you used to”. The arrangement is stellar, the sounds super experiment but arrives at a very confident composition proving that the boing indeed got the juice.

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.
