On “MAZZA,” an abbreviated form of the British slang term “mazzaleen,” Slowthai recruits fellow AWGE member A$AP Rocky, marking the duo’s first collaboration.
The song finds both rappers embodying the slang term and rapping crazily together. Slowthai’s verse focuses on depression and drug use, whereas Rocky’s has him dropping NYC-centric references and shouting out friends.
"Mazza is ‘mazzalean’, which is my own word… It’s just a mad thing. It’s for the people that have mad ADHD , ADD, and can’t focus on something—like how everything comes and it’s so quick, and it’s a rush. It’s where my head was at—be it that I was drinking a lot, or travelling a lot, and seeing a lot of things and doing a lot of dumb shit. Mad time. As soon as I made it, I FaceTimed Rocky because I was that gassed. We’d been working here and there, doing little bits. He was like, ‘This is hard. Come link up.’ He was in London and I went down there and just patterned it out."

A three-minute clip detailing the making of the “MAZZA” music video was posted to slowthai’s YouTube channel in February 2021 as a part of Vevo’s "Footnotes" series.
