The
ghetto soundtrack Mollo is Mawat’s
latest single currently heard across all hoods in Mzansi, Swaziland and
Botswana. The song title translated “Fire” boosts with a semi-kwaito backtrack
with a hectic bassline and a hypnotic sing-along hook: “Mollo, Mollo, Ke
batla
Mollo” which is Mawat’s way
of saying he needs more fire to fuel his purpose, passion and mission.
Mollo
was officially released on the 24th
of August 2018 with a special social media performance which trended #5 in SA
on Twitter and Instagram on the day. With good omen of being recorded in LA,
during Mawat’s
US Tour in December 2017, it is of no wonder that the song has since received
high rotation on Ukhozi FM and Metro FM.
The music video, shot and directed by Omen – The Chef, hit the telly in November and shows Mawat in his now familiar yellow attire getting out of a house in a peri-urban setting to go rap in the streets. Scenes of a ride on a donkey cart replace the usual fancy car scene normally associated with the hip-hop genre.

Lyrically, the
clean rapper, Mawat, manages to combine an inspirational message with a vibey
mood on this one to create a uniquely South African township anthem. If you are young at heart, filled with
purpose and loves to have fun, then Mollo will appeal to you. Join the movement
