I didn’t actually want to put it within the music, largely as a result of I didn’t know the best way to.

Aux Cable, Duncan, uZakwe, Zulu Boy.“

With the way I’m moving, you know being free with the people, I was like let me just give them something that they really want, and also it has to sound cool to me too.
