Beyond The Beat: ‘Go and Be Free’ with Sly Chaos and Cee Blu

Mazbou Q’s afro-hip hop dance hit ‘Go and Be Free’ gets a fiery dnb reboot by Sly Chaos & Cee Blu—bringing breakup feels, breakneck beats, and a soulful sax line that hits where it hurts.

When Nigerian-Kiwi artist Mazbou Q first crafted ‘Go and Be Free’, it was a soulful reflection on love, loss, and letting go without bitterness. Now, in a season-first twist, pop-R&B singer Cee Blu and drum and bass producer Sly Chaos step up to reimagine his personal anthem — flipping it into a high-energy, DnB track made for the dance floor. As the artists come together in the studio, their collaboration brings a fresh emotional pulse to the song, blending heartfelt lyrics with soaring drops and lush instrumentation, including a special guest sax performance by Thabani Gapara. A celebration of risk-taking, reinvention, and mutual respect, ‘Go and Be Free’ shows how powerful a track can become when trusted to new voices.
