After the release of his 3rd single ‘Phumelela’ featuring Camal, Seazy XXL and Jabulani Cindi Robin Thirdfloor returns with a remix of his popular song off Zithande ‘Gibela’. The remix features Johannesburg based rappers ASAP Shembe and Laliboi.
Robin Thirdfloor opens up the song with a smooth delivery of inspirational raps, citing how far he has come and how he has navigated the music industry. On this remix, Robin raps like the big brother ‘Xhumana ne dlozi mneshi if you listen uzoba umungameli’ meaning ‘Connect with your ancestor’s nephew if you listen you could be the president’ basically telling the young listener they can be everything they want if they connect with their ancestors. The rappers smooth transition of isiZulu and English is effortless, continuing to stay on the beat and oozing cool like we know him to
Laliboi brings a very different take on this remix as he is known for a more fast-paced delivery. He doesn’t disappoint though as he is able to mix up the slow pace delivery with his fast-paced signature delivery. In his verse, Laliboi quotes what he says ladies say to him “Gibela, ngaphezukwami kwami bhuti ungabi namahloni bhuti please’ meaning ‘Get on top of me don’t be shy’. Laliboi skillfully plays on the track titled which is ‘Gibela’ (Get on) and gives it a sexual twist
ASAP Shembe finishes off the track with aggressively playing on the track’s title but referencing a taxi driver. Opening up the song with “Tell me what you know about this feeling uSoma tekisi ozidlela iphilisi emcimbi’ meaning “Tell me what you know about this feeling, a taxi driver popping pills at a party’.
