‘’From all the experience that we have gathered from working with the likes of Somizi Mhlongo, Micasa, Professor, Oskido, Dj Tira, Dj Cleo, El’Vovo, Cassper Nyovest, Character and Moneoa we then decided that it was time to launch our second single named UZELENI’’ says Chauke.
‘‘The song is about people that go to parties with no planning and absolutely no intention of having fun; people that complain about paying an entrance fee to get into the party and people that just stand there the whole time and do not even buy drinks “Uzeleni; translated as Why did you come here or What are you doing here?”. The song was produced by Dj Cleo and it also features him’’ concluded Shange
