Speaking about the release, Young Stunna shares, “Hamba usibuyele nazo.” Go, and come back with them.
“When I heard these words lingering in my mind while writing this song, all I could think about was my late great grandmother. I remember her telling me that one day I would have to face the world on my own, njenge ndoda. That one day, I would be the one responsible for taking care of the people I love. At the time, I was writing my final exams, and she was teaching me how to cook. Her greatest wish was for me to go to university and further my studies. But beyond that, I believe she was preparing me for something much bigger, life itself. Her words stayed with me.
They prepared me for the day I would have to stand on my own, carry my responsibilities, and become someone my loved ones could depend on. And ever since the Lord blessed me with this life, I’ve found myself doing exactly that, taking care of the people I love, carrying what needs to be carried, and facing every battle that comes my way. “Hamba usibuyele nazo” became more than words to me. It became a command. A reminder. A piece of her that I carry with me. Her words will forever live in my heart, and they will forever prepare me for whatever battle lies ahead.”
