Known for his unique blend of hip-hop, folk, and afro-soul, ARA has teamed up with some seriously talented artists like KX Legit, Jackalass Onetym, Cyberkasi Fever, and Mokgabo to create a project that’s both personal and universal.

The EP kicks off with a powerful intro titled ‘Badimo Ba Mpitsa’, which translates to ‘The Ancestors Are Calling Me.’ From the get-go, ARA sets the tone with rich guitar melodies that perfectly complement his soulful voice. This track is more than just a song; it’s a heartfelt reflection on familial ties and cultural heritage. ARA navigates through his life experiences, reminding us all of the love and guidance that our ancestors provide. It’s a beautiful sing-along that resonates deeply, inviting listeners to connect with their roots.

Next up, we dive into ‘Ko Godimo’, where ARA opens up about his journey from the lows to the highs. He kick starts the song by rapping on some of his lowest times and he continues to show a path from those lowest times to a point where he is now getting paid and things are better.

This track is all about motivation and resilience, featuring Cyberkasi Fever, who brings his own hard-hitting Tswana bars to the mix. Together, they paint a picture of struggle and triumph, reminding us that it’s never too late to chase our dreams and improve our circumstances. It’s a real anthem for anyone who’s ever felt down but is determined to rise.

Moving along, we get to ‘Are Ye Koo’, a hip-hop gem infused with alternative sounds.

It’s a relatable message about navigating life’s challenges and ensuring you’re surrounded by genuine people as you work towards your goals.

Then comes the fun part with ‘Freak Or Baddie’.

It’s light-hearted and bold, perfect for those moments when you just want to let loose.

Next, we get into ‘Ke Nna’, where ARA tackles the theme of toxic relationships. He delivers a powerful message about being trapped in a cycle with a partner who brings more pain than joy. The fusion of alternative sounds, folk sounds and hip-hop in this track creates a unique sound that enhances the emotional weight of his lyrics. It’s a relatable anthem for anyone who’s ever struggled to break free from a negative relationship.

‘Ba Mpatla’ follows, and it’s an empowering track that screams ambition. The title translates to ‘They Are Looking For Me,” and ARA makes it clear that he’s too busy grinding to worry about those who might be trailing behind. Jackalass Onetym joins in with a dope verse that complements ARA’s flow perfectly, making this track a powerful anthem for anyone hustling to achieve their dreams.

And just when you think it can’t get any better, ARA wraps up the EP with a bonus track – a remix of his hit song ‘Mosetsana’.
