This release delves into the heart of modern popular culture’s relentless imitation game, challenging conventions and inviting viewers to question the status quo.
To amplify the impact, the track features a captivating guest vocals appearance from none other than the esteemed frontman Johni Holiday from prominent South African stoner rock sensations Ruff Majik.
