MOONGA K.s ‘GARDEN’ is out
MOONGA K.’s renegade spirit powers the engine of his dynamic new album, GARDEN, a sophisticated collection of neo-soul and R&B anthems. The Zambia birn, Botswana raised, South Africa-based singer/songwriter diverts a flood of futuristic embellishments and leftfield production choices through a foundation of classic inspirations, resulting in a funk-rich soundtrack for a life lived authentically. From the grungy distortion of album opener “the revolution” through to the breezy groove of closing track “wave (that’s me)”—via “be mine”, a dreamy, jazz-influenced duet with his childhood friend Nkosilathi—GARDEN is a monument to the continued evolution of MOONGA’s boundary-pushing artistry. “I can redesign my dreams/ I’ll never be confined, you see/Baby, I’m the next supreme/I’ll be making history,” he sings, on the anthemic “i’m gonna make it”—an assured declaration from an artist in total control of his talent.

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.
