The purpose of that intro is to highlight the year that I’m telling my story in through out the EP so it’s news from 2018/19 which is when I turned 24. The news highlights are showing you my world being from Zim and growing up and living in SA which is why it features….(cont)

…excitement comes from moments like Cyril being announced as presidents and to the country winning the Rugby World Cup. And some pain from hearing the true reality of what’s happening in Zim and the response that SA has to that from a xenophobic standpoint.

World of stars (even the stars in this partying scene and life) and Gods that in my world being Black is really amazing and I love it and I think there’s a future and world where people will have stories of Gods being black people as well. Some Afrofuturism

Kobe, Barry Bonds, etc all performed highly in their careers when they turned 24 and I thought it would be cool to reference that to me being 24. The pressure to be that great. The demons are the pressure and the fears you have at 24 growing as a man and making mistakes.
