The album features songs by various artists signed under the label, including Taylor himself, Juicy Black, Sabina Valentino, Phol D, Slima, Prez Millz and Nicole Martinez. The album boats 12-tracks like Let’s Go Wild Now and Vanilla Sky. Other songs on the album include Infamous, Famous, Know My Name, I can’t Wait, Mamasita, Party All Night, Weekend Hour, Heartbreak and Rockstar. Taylor has five songs in the album.
Let’s Go Wild Now, which features Nicole Martinez, was written and composed by Taylor. The song, which could be assumed to refer to partying, has a profound meaning behind it. “It touches on issues affecting our wilderness. The song mostly addresses the issue of poaching, and endangerment of animal species due to a number of factors, which include modernisation. The song is a clarion call to Batswana to work together to solve this problem in a way that would be lucrative to the country’s tourism,” he said. Vanilla Sky embodies Botswana’s pride, he said. “Our country was originally labelled a hopeless country with no potential for future prosperity. It was also rated among the poorest countries in the world.
“But with the guidance of our forefathers and through our scarce resources and politically stable democratic government, we turned our fortunes around and are now heralded as an African success story,” he said.
Taylor said they had 200 tracks, which they planned to release before the end of the year.
