Prequel

Term: Valentine’s Day

If you run your Googles. You’ll come across a lot. But in short. Its a celebration of agriculture and fertility. In the Roman Empire era, people would get naked and sacrifice their dogs and goats to some god we know nothing about. In light of this information? I will be heading to the load shedding prayer that will start on the 13th and end on the 15th of February. My queen of 6 years has already understood my stance as a man that moves like the King he is.

It’s important to note that being Anti Valentines doesn’t mean you’re not Pro Love. I love love. I believe in it. I think we all need it. Its a beautiful thing. Men and women genuinely need each other. Anyway back to reviewing this pure art from Ora Kill. 

Who Says No?

Who says no to genuine love? Loyalty? Empathy, Companionship and Friendship? We always lying about “hoes gon’ be hoes” or “abafana izinja”. Deep down we just frustrated. We all just either running from commitment or we’re scared. Love is a frightening concept. It’s putting your trust in a stranger. But once you get your person? The one who understands you. Who’s there for you. Loyal to you. Makes you smile. Shows genuine love to you? Who Says No to That?

Would You Care For Me?

First element that struck me was the Jazz on the beat. Incredible from LeloApril. As I said earlier. Love is frustrating. Especially when you low key looking but you don’t want to seem too thirsty for it. So you let your ego speak for you. OraKill keeps it honest. “Would you care for me?”. All cards were on deck. The poker face was set aside. I admire the vulnerability. Especially when he speaks about the rawness of the scars on his back. The wordplay, the flow, the reflection of being broken and his ambition of finding himself again. It’s dope, I said this on the first   article. Rappers have to work harder when they speak about love. You have to be vulnerable but still keep it Hip Hop. It’s tricky. If you too vulnerable you might sound too Pop. Which leaves you at the hands of the Hip Hop Police. OraKill avoided those charges swiftly. His story telling is elite. Puts you in a space of a King just seeking genuine companionship. Behind that soulful beat, the bars, the flow, the execution? I think Ora is capping. He was definitely born in Pietermaritzburg. I don’t think he knows though
