The track has a genuine street feel, combining intense rhythms with Baba KaSimba’s powerful vocals, making it a party anthem that also represents resilience and perseverance in daily life.

Cairo CPT remains a key advocate for the unbridled and energetic sound of Cape Town Gqom as showcased by Bhola Le Mali. The track relies on heavy percussion, a rolling bassline, and hypnotic repetition, which produces that unmistakable street energy characteristic of the genre. Baba KaSimba’s vocal performance brings grit and a sense of urgency, effectively conveying the song’s theme of ambition, money, and the hustle. The track functions as both a club favourite and a social commentary, conveying ordinary hardships while maintaining a lively atmosphere on the dance floor.
