Well-known, talented Explosive Tanzanian hip-hop sensation Mex Cortez drops a crisp new tune called “EGO”.
He has spent nearly a decade constructing this catalog, sharing stages at TRACE Music Awards and working with the likes of Khaligraph Jones and Gemma Griffith along the way.
EGO sticks to the same rap-first style, focusing on poetry rather than chasing trends. With a feature-heavy run this year already including singles like “Money Talks” and “Tukusa VII,” a solo cut like this allows him to claim the spotlight entirely once more.
The production is firmly entrenched in modern East African hip-hop, meant to let his vocabulary really breathe. Nothing here makes the setup more difficult. “Strong bars need a beat to back them, not compete with them.
Mex Cortez rides the tune with his customary snappy delivery, flexing varied flow and true lyrical confidence all around. It is this constancy that has kept him relevant for almost ten years in the hip-hop industry of Tanzania.
EGO works because Mex Cortez believes in his own skills. No gimmicks needed to prove his spot in the game. This song is a wicked banger you will love to rock to all day and nite. Click play and you’ll get a thrill every second it runs.
