Hell of a Night.

That song by Dosh & Blinky Bill got me talking like Michael in the Godfather; "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in." For context, I had previously held a very strong feeling of discontent, almost resentment about Munga's music especially after Wakadinali established themselves in the mainstream space. It felt plastic and lazy writing with hooks curated to pander to TikTok trends. I was constantly searching for the fiery Munga, unapologetically calling for social change while at the same time exposing the reality of social engineering in the ghetto that has successfully perpetuated ignorance and consequent crime among the affected residents, them (wakadinali) included.

But this new song has finally opened my eyes to what artistic growth and development looks like. The author starts experimenting new variables in an attempt to refine their craft even more. I apologize for being a victim of the old-timers' disease, nostalgia. It binds you to the past and narrows your perspective and opinions to that which was. You resent change and anything that threatens your perceived ideals built on yesterday's experiences. You swear the artist has regressed but don't acknowledge you are actually the one who has stagnated.
I love this new song and the new Munga is fast growing on me. Everything from the composition to the delivery to the comedic relief in the visuals was executed exquisitely. I haven't listened to much of Blinky Bill aside this project, but I hope he collabs more with Munga. Their styles perfectly complement each other.
