5. Why You Want to be a Gangster

Why You Want To Be a Gangster? is self explanatory. The hook line “this ain’t a scene from Scarface the movie” attempts to apply logic to the behaviour patterns of young people who are influenced by films, videos and video games. The concluding line of that sentence ends with “this is reality” says it all.

Featuring: Soul Deep
Lyrics: H. Mwelwa
Production: Feng Shui

6. Say You're Ok

Say You’re Ok was inspired by an outline plot presented by Urban Concepts to fit with the film the “Hip Hop Opera”.

Sung by Brian Temba (the Lead in The Lion King) and Bianca Gerald, it makes reference to “West Side Story” in its dramatic conclusion.
