Damn You Rafiki follows the trajectory of #BEAR, #NoLongTalk, #KeepShining, & #GodMC. It's about a rapper making a bold statement about his rap artistry & skills set. It's an exhibition of lyrical prowess, dexterity & technical knowhow

Rafiki is Swahili for "friend"—Damn You Friend. "Damn You" is used to express anger, especially when used in a heated argument. However, if it's used in a non-incendiary banter, it could be interpreted as playful. 
In this instance, even though the use of "friend" sort of waters it down, its use is incendiary, as the rap is in full attack mode.

One thing with Mdot's collaborations is that, they're more focused on complementarities & synergies. The collaborator should first & foremost be appropriate for the track, should enhance the sounds & message & overall quality of the song.
Invisible

M.anifest has captured the underbelly of society exposing its rot, hypocrisy & the survival pathways of the unseen. Invisible is an essay on hypocrisy of society & the sweltering sweat of the unseen economic agents in a country

Invisible, nobody sees me
Goodbyes and hi's, nobody greets me
Can I be a member? I do surrender
I have no agenda
Just see me
Ah (Just see me)
