Cruel Santino
Dubai-core. That one is just a very fun song. You know, there are just some songs you make where it’s just a Santi song. I made the beat with GMK
and he was laughing like, “What kind of fucking song is this.” It was just fun and nice, but it helped to build the sound of Mandy. Songs like “Dime
In The Winter,” “Morocco,” and “Turn Down Mami” are very much instrumental to getting into the lore of our sound. Also, I don’t always write about
myself. I could just make a story. In the story, I’m a guy with a girl, and we’ve smoked the dealer’s stuff, and he’s going to come and kill us, so
we are thinking of what to do. That’s how dancehall guys used to sing about crazy shit and that’s what I did–and then, there are anime references,
of course.

“alté cruise” was just what it was. I had just started going out and becoming more social thanks to Boj. He was always saying the
word so much around me, and I had this alt SoundCloud account called fridaycruise where I’d just drop music very spontaneously. So
I just put the two names together. For me, “alté cruise” is just a manifestation of a more social version of myself. I was going
out, hanging out with friends. When I made the song, we were all in the studio, and Santi did his verse last. We were having fun
and goofing around. I feel blessed to have this song because I love music so much, and a lot of this stuff we were making was more
than music. It was a lot of sacrifice for the community and friends. It was built on knowing that people loved us and what we were
doing. We were really making it for them, and we wanted the people to feel it. So, it’s nice to see that it spread that far.

Nasty C was in Lagos, and we met up. That was actually fun because we would go around Lagos at night, and I was with Santi and one
of my homies, Genio. So, we met up with Nasty C, and we made that song. It was a very interesting one because at that time, South
African-Nigerian link-ups were very popular, but there wasn’t anything really happening in the underground like that. Working with
Nasty C and having Santi on it was very important.
