Mikhail’s ‘Too Much Juice’ and ‘Mrs Gabz City’: A ‘Review’
Reviewing other people’s creative when you’re one yourself can be such trip if im being honest. I’ve known MIK through his exploits with the skilled crew S.E.G, his music production and just out here in the small Southern African capital Gaborone. Mikhail shared two joints with me over a week ago and it took me a bit to get to the, possibly because i was intimidated by the work he’d shared. First up ‘Mrs Gabz City’, the joint has a nice laid back track with a bass reminiscent of the Tupac and Daz Dillinger’s work (you gotta be from the old school to understand this), in it he chronicles the story of a girl caught up in the city lights, “the kinda girl that kiss and go tell”. Just press play and enjoy the music
The beats are swavy, not sure what that means but it really seems to be a fitting descriptor to this song. On it MIK flexes with ease, “doing it like a pimp do…it aint what you used to”. The arrangement is stellar, the sounds super experiment but arrives at a very confident composition proving that the boing indeed got the juice.

WNDRSZN’s Garri: A Soulful Ode to Everyday Survival
With his new single “Garri,” Botswana’s own WNDRSZN delivers a moving blend of nostalgia, rhythm, and reflection. The track feels like a time capsule — echoing the golden sounds of Africa’s past while remaining grounded in the grit of modern life.
Garri paints the picture of long days, crowded taxi rides, and quiet moments of exhaustion — when silence speaks louder than words. WNDRSZN captures the ache and beauty of that struggle with haunting tenderness, reminding us of the resilience that lives in ordinary people.
Inspired by African classics like Ismaël Lô’s Tajabone and Oliver Mtukudzi’s Neria, Garri draws from deep emotional wells of hope and survival. It’s not just a song; it’s a feeling — a lament, a memory, and a prayer for better days.
With his signature fusion of AfroSoul and Kalahari Pop, WNDRSZN once again reimagines what African music can sound like — rooted in heritage but speaking to now.
Garri is more than music. It’s a mirror to our everyday hustle — and a gentle call to keep going.

Priscilla K Finds Strength in Vulnerability on Show Me
Priscilla K returns with a soulful new single titled “Show Me”, a heartfelt Afrobeat-meets-Afrotech track that blends rhythm and emotion effortlessly. In this song, she opens up about the need to be seen, to be affirmed, and to be reminded of her worth — especially in moments of doubt.
With lyrics like “Show me a sign I’m wanted, I’m worthy,” Priscilla delivers a message that’s both intimate and universal. It’s a plea for reassurance, but also an anthem of resilience — a reminder that even when we fall, we can rise again and fight.
Sonically, Show Me shimmers with layered percussion and subtle electronic textures, carried by her powerful, emotive vocals. It’s a record that feels alive — grounded in vulnerability, but glowing with hope.
Show Me isn’t just a song — it’s a moment of honesty from an artist unafraid to feel, fall, and rise again.
