Produced by Just Couga, Mag teams up with the BGF and Johannesburg based Mohlakanyo-rapper by  the name Slabsta to bring us the first "single" out of the upcoming "You Don't Deserve Me EP" following up on the 2017 collaboration release, the "Music Times EP" with Just Couga to give us a joyful party song, a taste of the vibes to expect in the tape...

I don't know if you've been as curious as i have, but wherever Slabsta goes there will be an immaculate connection, a vibe. It is his versatility and consistency coupled with what he refers to as Mohlakanyo (mixtures of a whole lot different genres done in English and sePedi) raps, the musicality to push the slick flow with cheesy punchlines. I don't know how he do it but there's nothing better...

The first two minutes is coupled with two choruses and two joint verses from each, sharing four bars each to make two, eight bar verses to go on about their vibey lifestyle, and all the other activities of the hood in the weekend. It's alternative sound, the one that allows Mag SA and Slabsta to be in the same space.

The song is quite short or maybe not because it's actually the vibe you're compelled under and yet it quickly runs out, leaving you begging for more and having to play the song on repeat. I'm not sure if it was intentionally done but there was still a room for expression in the last sixty seconds and they were filled up with an outro from Slabsta and Mag sending shout outs. I hope the deluxe edition of the tape will include another special verse!!

Overall, if this is the vibe and sound "YDDM" tape is packaged with, we're in it for a good listening session, 2019 looks good and now it's up to Mag SA to decide whether we deserve the tape or him...
