The song was launched at Cape to Cairo in Bulawayo.
The track that has followed his first album Unleashed features award-winning hip-hop artiste Nicholas Muchinguri, aka POY.
In an interview with the Southern Eye Lifestyle yesterday, Leentatainment said the track was released early August and claimed it would be the best hit for the summer so far.
He said the launch was done at a show dubbed Bigger than Hip-hop.
The Vehondo hitmaker said this time he decided to rope in POY, pointing out that he is a talented and an easygoing person who is not a problem to work with.
“Siyabasukumisa (We will make them stand up) basically talks about how we are going to make people stand up to local music and my music,” he said.
