Mohbad died 12th September 2023 and gained unimaginable fans, many of whom had not known him while he was alive. He became popular due to the sad times he past through and loved thanks to many of his deep meaning songs which reflected the suffering, including this one – peace and beast.
What is the song “Peace” all about?
Mohbad is hyping himself in this song as a high level rap talent. He is saying while he can be a quiet person, this should not be taken as weakness as he can also be a beast.
He wants to get rid of fake friends with the bazooka he bought, and hype his real ones such as his fellow artist, Bella Shmurda.
