[X5] - END Staring 0:10 Drip Gogo 2:49 DJ Sumbody 2:51 The Lowkeys The meaning of the song: A rooster (male chicken) crows because it has an internal clock that helps it anticipate sunrise. It gets a head start on their daily hunt for food & defense of territory. Sometimes its sunrise song is a way of establishing his territory & to send signal to other roosters that if they trespass, they’re asking for a fight. Most importantly, it often crows from a vantage point above his territory so he can make others more aware of his presence & so that his songs travel further. To my understanding, the ancestors are the rooster in this scenario. The ancestors are using the rooster to wake up Drip Gogo & go take what belongs to him - his crown. The rooster is also instructed to warn him to not sleep on his talent anymore. Seemingly, the rooster wouldn't let him sleep anymore as it crows a multiple times consecutively. In account, Drip Gogo is not only a fashion designer & student, but he's also a traditional healer (Gogo Nhlanhla). So, as somebody who believes on ancestral voices, there was a day where he woke up with a message from his long gone elders. That's the part where he's holding the CD of his single, taken underwater. Well, there are two scenarios here; most traditional healers use the river to baptise people for a change, that's why he went to the river as somebody who needed cleansing for laziness & badluck. The second scenario would be that he had to go & find his potential other than sleeping all day long. A river is usually very long though, he wouldn't even know where his gift was kept, hence he went for a search. Either way, it helped him to stop doubting himself as it boostef his confidence & he started taking himself seriously. It is therefore shown in the scenes that the gift sent to him in his dreams changed his life. Lyckily, he didn't ignore it, but did exactly what his elders instructed him to do instead. The rooster also stopped crowing after he became successful, at the end of the song though. It's a good song that encourages people to never sleep on their dreams & doubt themselves. Actually, if you believe that you gonna do something, then do it. Imagine if there's no rooster for you, would you you die having nothing in life as an achievement yet you had something from the very beginning? Wake up! Malimemeze iqhude! Let's wake up & grind. I'm wishing everyone who's reading this a better life with caring family, loving party, caring friends & financial stability.

Hats off to SA musicians. You guys are curing the world with your art. On a (maybe not completely) unrelated note: I find SA languages (isiZulu esp) super sexy (much like espanol). These guys will sing just about anything and it will be the most intriguing thing I've ever heard. Just found out that the Amanikiniki song is about nik naks. lol, icheese, ichikini, ibeef. lmao
We love u lots rest in peace 🕊️🕊️ I really hate it how people are only talking about the music like GUYS GROW UP THAT DOESN’T MATTER RN DID U KNOW HE DIED and that’s all your talking about… “MuSiC”
