Uno July Drops New Single ‘Uyabona Nawe Mos’

Fresh off the success of his single ‘NYIRI’, Uno July is back with a new single titled ‘Uyabona Nawe Mos’.

‘Uyabona Wena Mos’ features a dose of a vibrant blend of Xhosa slang influences that reflect Cape Town's dynamic street culture. 

This solo effort, boasting production by Ras The Afronaut, serves as a reintroduction to his unique sound and artistic vision, setting the stage for upcoming collaborations and highlighting the evolution of his musical journey.

"Uyabona Nawe Mos" translates directly to "You can see, right?" which serves as a declaration of confidence and flair. Rooted in Xhosa slang known as "Ringans", the phrase is widely used in the Western Cape townships, expressing bravado and a flashy lifestyle. It's about showcasing achievements and excitement with a sense of flamboyance, demanding recognition and admiration.

The track encapsulates the spirit of Cape Town's streets, where language is a display of culture, pride, and identity.
