King Promise saves his most unfiltered flex for “Mad Ting,” the fourth Mr Eazi link-up on 5 Star. If “Taste” was romance, “Criminal” was obsession, and “Baby I’m Still Jealous” was the comedown, then “Mad Ting” is the post-breakup glow-up. The energy flips completely. Killbeatz swaps the moody guitars for a bouncy, percussion-heavy riddim with amapiano touches — log drums, shakers, and a bassline that forces your shoulders to move. It’s built for the club, not the bedroom.
Both artists come in with pure bravado. King Promise drops the vulnerability and steps into full bad-guy mode, bragging about how fine his woman is and how mad it would be for anyone else to try her. There’s no apology here, just chest-out confidence. Mr Eazi matches it verse for verse. He sounds like he pulled up to the studio after the club, still in detty mode, tossing out quotables with that unbothered delivery only he can pull off. Together they sound like two friends hyping each other up on a night out.
“Mad Ting” dropped with 5 Star on July 21, 2023, and it’s the palette cleanser the album needed. After three tracks of longing and emotional damage, this one says “we outside.” It shows the full range of the King Promise x Mr Eazi chemistry: they can do tender, toxic, and turnt without missing. On an album full of love songs, “Mad Ting” is the reminder that sometimes the best way to get over it is to step out and act like it never happened.
