Establishing the mood with emotive keys and an 8-bit synth melody, expanding into a dimensional and somewhat cerebral Afro-pop meets Amapiano vibe, DJ GRZA and Tumi Radebe open Get 2 Know Ü with notions of ancient-futurism. The opus evolves with timeless lyrics about human connection that can also be perceived on a more universal level.

We deeply connect with the intricacy of the production, the arrival of a cosmic guitar melody and the high emotional quotient of the track. The dreamy and ethereal motifs are sublime, whilst Tumi Radebe‘s vocals are flawless. We could imagine experiencing the song on a beach in Sicily, a party in Camps Bay, Cape Town, or at Scorpios in Mykonos. It’s also perfect for a late night vibe with friends.

There is an undeniable cinematic allure that Get 2 Know Ü holds, and we could see it landing sync placements in TV shows like Love Is Blind and Love Island, but also perhaps something like The Polygamist or Fatal Seduction on Netflix.

There is no doubt that with Get 2 Know Ü, DJ GRZA and Tumi Radebe have delivered a polished collaboration that balances intimacy with hypnotic depth. The fusion of Afro Pop, electronic R&B, and amapiano influences manifests as a cohesive tapestry of sound.

The message of the track captures the excitement of a connection unfolding naturally in a very relatable way. We learn that Tumi Radebe is a South African-born artist who is now based in Australia, whilst DJ GRZA is the production project of Australian musician Matthew Gear. His work has earned national radio support and appearances at major Australian festivals, including Darwin Festival, Bassinthegrass, and Eden Festival.

Needless to say, we are in awe, and have added Get 2 Know Ü to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream DJ GRZA‘s debut single, Losing Kontrol.
