Synthesized horns—reminiscent of vintage South African kwaito —bleep over a trap-adjacent hi-hat. It is a fusion that feels both nostalgic and futuristic. The audio quality, while raw, captures the ambient noise of the street; you can almost hear the distant chatter of bars and the sizzle of an open grill.
