‘Was It Something I Said?’, Titose’s project is finally out!
The intro to Titose’s ‘Was it Something I Said?’ is a proper scene setter, subtly opening the project gracefully as for most, this is the first official meeting with the songstress whose work we’ve followed over the years.
Fusing delicate storytelling with warm, rhythmic tones and brooding basslines, Titose offers a conceptual trapsoul debut. Produced by AmoBeatz, Was It Something I Said? uses a couple’s experiences together to detail the crests and troughs of romance. “This is a project about love and friendship,” the Botswana-born artist tells Apple Music. “The main theme is confrontation—of others and of self.” With its moody soundscape, opener “I Do” calls for accountability, while The Big Hash helps pick up the energy on the girls’-night-out-themed “Best Friends”, before a palpable resignation kicks in on “Strangers”. A relatable story of romantic strife unfolds across these eight tracks, with the record’s earlier angst offset by the celebratory closer, “Lights Off”.

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.
