Love how he managed to add the classic "Ndauya kuzoona Mary" folk song into the track, he managed to make the folk song sweet, it was quiet a scary song back then. Production is done well, love the arrangement of the track.  2. Twist Gary is singing about this lady that has taken his attention, t...
