"'Hade Boss' is about talking to his boss, telling him that he wants his annual bonus now that it’s December because he wants to go party and have fun. He wants to experience the summertime and play with the other kids," explains Mr Nation Thingz, encapsulating the essence of the song as an anthem for embracing life's joys.

From pioneering Gqom into the mainstream to earning awards recognition, #SAMA29 winner DJ Lag continues to be a cultural influencer and frontrunner. His latest release, "Hade Boss," with Mr Nation Thingz featuring KC Driller, further solidifies DJ Lag's title as the Gqom King.
