Speaking about the inspiration behind their 25/8 project, Brandz and Zion said,
we have always been friends, and have always respected each other as talented artists. Working together was actually kinda random, friends were saying we should try and make music together, so we tried a ting, and we created ‘Intro’ there and then in Zion’s car. From there, we just kept creating together organically, and eventually we made 7 songs in only 4 days, which are now known as ‘25/8’. The title of the project is derived from 24/7, because we go the extra mile, and we put our all and more into our music.Our work ethic and grind is a lifestyle, that’s what this mixtape captures, and we think the track that perfectly embodies this is ‘Top’, which is all about us sharing our reality, where we’ve come from, our struggle to get to this point, and somewhat what we do music for, but there are also tracks like ‘Diamonds’ which appreciates our women of today. All in all, the whole project is filled with ‘feel-good’ and motivational music, from cuffing season R&B anthems, and exciting high energy trap records, to heavy hitting hip hop hits, and catchy afrobashment tunes – it has everything.
