A-Reece Addresses Flame’s Departure From The Wrecking Crew in His New Song ‘Carele$$’
Looks like A-Reece and Flame clashed over a woman.
A-Reece dropped a new song this morning. Titled "Carele$$," the song features The Wrecking Crew Member Wordz. Well, rather what's left of the crew. The Pretoria-based collective recently shed a few members, one of them being Flame.
Fans have been speculating on what exactly happened to TWC, but nothing had been confirmed thus far. On "Carele$$," however, Reece lays it bare that the reason Flame left the crew was a woman.
<p>He raps:</p><blockquote>"What more can I say?/ What you expect to hear when niggas ask me about Flame?/ What makes you think I wanted it to happen this way?/ I was there before the money, she would never say the same/ How could you stick around and let her have her own way?/ She even go as far as throwing dirt on my name/ How you let her come between us and the records that we made?/Shit is crazy, but I just figured you acting your age."</blockquote><p>"Carele$$" is short, and only consists of one verse from Reece, and its sole purpose is to clear the air. </p><h3><a href="https://www.okayafrica.com/the-wrecking-crew-south-african-hip-hop-best/" target="_blank">Read: The 10 Best Albums & EPs by The Wrecking Crew</a><a href="https://www.okayafrica.com/the-wrecking-crew-south-african-hip-hop-best/"></a></h3><p>The Wrecking Crew is one of the most prominent crews in South African hip-hop at the moment.
