Forget “no strings attached.” In the world of Gengetone, it is more like no sense spared. After Gwaash attempted a dramatic 40-day water fast to shed weight, the streets can all agree on one thing. That level of sacrifice is strictly reserved for saints like Jesus, not for fun loving sinners like Gwaash.
In what can only be described as a comically ambitious weight loss mission, Gwaash ditched all meals in favor of water, not for spiritual enlightenment, but just to see how it feels to be slim like Joefes. Tired of being big and towering over his peers, he set out on a hunger journey with nothing but water and vibes. But as it turns out, he forgot to consult the real gatekeepers of his body, his intestinal soldiers, the loyal but unforgiving askaris lumbricoids.
These internal guards could only handle so much before revolting. They were done with his jokes. The hunger jokes. The no food agenda. Before he could even clock a tenth of the 40 days, his own stomach turned against him. The fast turned into a fiasco and word of the struggle spread faster than fire.
Now his musical brothers Unspoken Salaton, Iphoolish and Joefes decided to immortalize the experience in the best way Gengetone artists know how, by making a track. Titled “Water Fasting” the new release is a brilliant blend of humor, sarcasm and clever bars poking fun at Gwaash’s short lived quest to shrink.
The track is a vibe from start to finish. The beat hits hard, the verses are soaked in witty jabs and the chemistry between the four artists is unmatched. Gwaash even takes a moment to laugh at himself, proving once again that he is as fearless with self-deprecating humor as he is with experimenting.
“Water Fasting” is not just a song. It is a cultural moment. It is Gengetone doing what it does best, turning everyday struggles into unforgettable jams that make you laugh while you dance.
Water Fasting” is the perfect pick. It’s the kind of song that turns everyday struggles into pure entertainment. Just hit play, enjoy the clever humor, and let this be your reminder — consult your stomach before you decide to live on water alone.
