The track sees Sas taking a stance where he "stands for the cause, equality, equal rights", demonstrating his ability to switch up his tones and produce an album that displays a spectrum of messages and campaigns. 'No more Covid-19' is a passionate and ferocious preach against the changing landscape in the UK, as he reflects on a past left behind, highlighting the rocky year 2020 has brought to us all. An ability to say it truthfully is heavily reflected in his music. 'Godson 1.8' is a phenomenal album that promotes originality and being able to stand up for your beliefs. |
