Years after its release, "Take It Easy" still gets rotation at parties and on radio stations. Why? Because it’s authentic. It represents a time when SA Hip Hop was finding its distinct voice, merging local languages and influences with international hip-hop standards. The track urges listeners to relax and enjoy life, a message that is just as relevant today as it was back then.

Teargas is a popular South African R&B and hip-hop group formed in the early 2000s. Members included Nzukile “Nzuza” Mdletshe, Lindani “Spyro” Nkosi, and Nhlanhla “Mampintsha” Maphumulo (late). They are known for hits like “Sweetie,” “Party 101,” and potentially a track titled “Take It Easy” (though not their biggest hit). Their music blends Afro-pop, R&B, and kwaito influences.
