Makola’s new single “Stone Roses” is a raw and honest rap track that really hits home. It tells the story of two friends growing up in London, trying to survive with nothing but each other. The verses are sharp and real, with lyrics that don’t shy away from tough truths. The flow is clean and steady, pulling you in with every line.
The chorus is super catchy, you’ll find it stuck in your head after just one listen. The production is smooth and creative and the instrumental fits the mood of the song perfectly. Everything sounds polished, from the beat to the mixing and you can tell this is a duo that knows exactly what they’re doing.
The visualiser adds another layer to the story, showing the energy, emotion, and chaos of youth. It’s a powerful reminder of how friendships can both lift us up and bring us down. Makola’s energy and storytelling feel real and their sound is something special. “Stone Roses” is one of those tracks that stays with you. We’ll definitely be playing it again.
