Cabra - 'Cruel Games' ft. Mz

Essex artist Cabra returns with 'Cruel Games', a new collaboration with Mz that drifts between R&B, hip-hop and alternative rap. Built on a weightless vocal loop and wistful piano motifs, the track unfolds in a hazy soundscape, underpinned by low-end rumble and percussion drawing from mellow drill textures and Afrobeat-inspired rhythms.

Lyrically, 'Cruel Games' explores a complicated connection marked by crossed wires, personal ambition and emotional exposure. Cabra’s measured, introspective tone sits against Mz’s self-assured yet conflicted energy, creating a dynamic that mirrors the uncertainty at the heart of the song. Light, playful exchanges are offset by moments of candid reflection, giving the track both atmosphere and substance.

The single captures that familiar tension of chasing everything at once, even when you know it may be temporary.

Part of the ES6 collective, Cabra continues to carve his own lane, blending UK rap sensibilities with smooth R&B undertones and flashes of transatlantic influence, guided more by feeling than formula.
