THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY: 
Representing the Cape Flats, Le-Lo Thee Illest feels that he's been sleeping on himself. He took some sort of break from the music industry after being demotivated due to lack of support... But after realising his potential and ambition, he got up and tried again. 
In the song titled STAR, Le-Lo Thee Illest uses powerful metaphors to make bold statements. He raps on how capable he is artistically; he mentions that he has been out of the game and now that he's back things have changed, artists have changed. He is letting it be known that he's back with a vengeance and is more confident than ever before! In the track, he gladly accepts challenges from rappers too.

Lorenzo Samuels also known as Le-Lo Thee Illest from Lentegeur, wrote Cape Flats in support of those against Gender Based Violence, when females marched the streets of Cape Town. The #AMINEXT trend was hitting social media hard & that inspired Le-Lo to do this track. He’s Producer Ron-Lee Sheldon also known as BigRon from Tafelsig, made the instrumental and then jumped with Le-Lo on the chorus. The track was then professionally mixed and mastered by Le-Lo’s Executive Producer Lestunner Make A Banger.
