Please Wait is the culmination of numerous online exchanges and years of sharing voice memos, stems, musical ideas & TikTok links between Ta-ku and Matt McWaters. Their cathartic approach to this body of work has been more about self expression than anything else and has culminated in an EP that covers a range of issues and experiences from different times in their lives.

Ta-ku’s 823 label represents the appreciation for the people/ideas/places that inspire and push us forward. The artwork is shot by the artist themselves and each release has an accompanying photo zine that acts as a visual story to compliment the music being showcased.

Featured on ‘Flight 99’ is Masego – the soul super-heavyweight who needs no introduction, bringing his signature flow and musicianship to the forefront, accompanied by minimal yet vivid production.
