Gifted musical artist The Squad pulls in Mellow and Sleazy on “Yebo,” and this collaboration was always going to turn heads.
Mellow and Sleazy carry serious weight in Amapiano. Their names on a record immediately signal a certain level of quality, and “Yebo” lives up to that expectation. So The Squad clearly saved one of their biggest feature moments for the right song.
“Yebo” means “yes” in Zulu. But within an Amapiano context, the word carries a communal, affirmative energy that fits the vibe perfectly. It’s the kind of title that works both literally and emotionally at the same time.
Tremaine Mothoa, Romario Williams, and Warne Abrahams handle production again. However, having Mellow and Sleazy involved likely pushed the arrangement into a slightly more polished space. Their influence tends to elevate whatever they touch.
As the eleventh track on “Full Circle,” “Yebo” arrives at a point where the album needs a moment that feels bigger than what came before it. Also, this collaboration delivers exactly that without the record feeling like it’s trying too hard.
Stream “Yebo” as part of the full “Full Circle” album and feel why this pairing made complete sense.
