The artist, who has collaborated with international artists such as Nigeria's 2Baba and Zimbabwe's Buffalo Soujah in the majority of his music, says he "will officially post the link of the Spanking hot new single any day" to his digital platform.

Phantom Steeze, a South African artist, is featured on the audio.
