Mavado Makes ‘Thunderclap’ On New War Song
Mavado has released a new gritty track titled โThunderclap.โ

โThink him can reborn / So me squeeze the rifle and keep calm / Lef bwoy inna hole gwan dream on / Piece a di p-ssy mouth wid him teeth gone / It neva over til we seh ova / Any weh we tep we tek ova / Colda as mi get older / Murderer, yeah,โ he spits on the intro of the song.
