A gathering of my artist and producer friends filled the air with creativity. Soundchef, the musical sorcerer, conjured a bewitching beat, which caught my fancy. ‘Maltina’ sprouted from a freestyle, a captivating melody that clung to our hearts, and we surrendered to its magical flow. Then, Json appeared like a musical sprite, adding a kaleidoscope of melodies to our enchanting brew.”
