#COMPOSURE. . .COMPOSURE. . .COMPOSUREEEE!!!

Hold it Now. . .Hold it Now. . .Hold it Now. . .This is that Takeover and Either typ’a ish. . .One week you posting about #Fill_Up_The_Dome & #MIMI, and the next you’re posting about #Composure.

This is that typ’a ish that make you feel some type of way because AKA owned this moment!

The beef between the two predominant hip hop acts in SA is far from over, we just knew that after the slapping allegations. . .But as if the slapping wasn’t enough, AKA had to come rhymes blazing on the new heat #Composure; “See when it rains it pours, understand with me when it’s war, it’s war…” which set Twitter on fire shortly after it was released!!!

Now three things on my list that make a battle record a blow: FACTS – RHYMES AND FLOW. AKA pulled all these three aspects quite well on the joint. I mean you listen to this tune and all you hear is FACTS – FACTS. . .Nice flow and slayer rhymes aaand FACTS!

“I know you hate me with a passion, I ain’t mad at ya/ I know you f*ck with every classic in my catalogue”. . .I don’t know if you remember this but, just over 2 years ago, Cassper Nyovest posted a video of himself dancing to “Congratulate Me” and complimenting the joint on how it’s a hit and all that, and this was broadcasted on VEntertainment. . .and I also like the fact he admitted to being a Cassper fan at some point. Cassper is everyone’s favorite rapper including me!

“I know you play like you’re humble but we just one and the same”. . .Could this be true? I mean we can all admit that Cassper Nyovest is always tryna be the righteous one all the time with this whole beef. Even when he released that BEEF joint, no one spoke otherwise about him, instead, he got props and he even name dropped AKA on Phumakim! It was all good because it’s Cassper Nyovest.

“I ain’t gonna treat your pony-tail like the holy grail/ That’s the problem with you new school cats/ Took your old style from OKMalumKoolKat”. . .I don’t know if you remember this but, some months back, Cassper Nyovest posted a video on facebook of his “new” dance move which later on, OkMalumKoolKat took to his page to express his disappointment in niggaz who steal moves from them and make minor changes and make it seem as if they are the ones who invented the whole shandis!

Another thing, you gotta hit where it hurts when you beefing with someone, especially in the mainstream where there’s a lot of criticism. You don't wanna be the dude with the wack diss track! That SAGA line touched some nerves though! Moderately a chilled and catchy beat with no too many snares and complicated keys and notes to it. . .I guess that’s what you looking for as a rapper in order to make sure your statement is clearly caught. Kinda like what Drake did on #ChargedUp, but like The SuperMega says “it’s beyond Drake and Meek Mill ish”. . .

“KO did it and didn't even floss with it”. . .The gold plaque, yeah we were all happy for the homey Cassper but at some point it was as if he’s the first rapper in SA to sell gold, KO is one laid back rapper who’s as dope and successful! Ain’t no need to floss with it, the homey is super chilled. And if the Debut is the issue here, KO also achieved that with his debut solo album.

Composure. . .Composure. . .Composure!! Apparently the joint is about "composure"! But I doubt that because the tripwire on this track tells a totally different story! This joint deserves that Funkmaster Flex bomb effect!
