Mazbou Q continues his groundbreaking "Rap Science" series with its th installment, "CLONING." A fusion of Jersey Club energy, emotive synths, and pounding 808s, the track is an intricate exploration of the struggle to balance artistry, family, and ambition. With his signature technical precision, Mazbou Q weaves a narrative that resonates with creatives and entrepreneurs alike—those who grind nonstop, wishing they could clone themselves to keep up with their relentless pursuits.
Lyrically, "CLONING." offers an introspective glimpse into Mazbou Q’s life as a multidisciplinary artist. The pressure to succeed is compounded by deep-rooted familial and cultural expectations, where the pursuit of creative passions must often coexist with the responsibility of providing stability and his family's sacrifices.
This release follows his previous "Rap Science" singles, "TORQUE." and "SALINITY.," solidifying his reputation as a boundary-pushing lyricist and producer. Most recently, Mazbou Q made history as the first New Zealand artist to perform on Brooklyn’s On The Radar Radio, a highly influential hip-hop platform boasting over a million followers on Instagram and YouTube. The channel has featured the likes of Drake, Ice Cube, and Ice Spice, marking a significant milestone in Mazbou Q’s international journey.
Beyond his own music, Mazbou Q is also the lead producer for the upcoming NZ On Air-sponsored web series Beyond the Beat, set for release in May during Aotearoa Music Month. The series brings together local artists to reimagine iconic New Zealand radio hits, further showcasing his innovative approach to music production and curation.
With "CLONING.," Mazbou Q not only adds another powerful entry to his "Rap Science" catalog but also cements his place as one of Aotearoa’s most forward-thinking artists. A relentless force in hip-hop, his latest release is both a testament to his work ethic and a raw confession of the challenges that come with it.
