DATO’ MAW released his latest single, ‘做自己 / 熬過來 FREESTYLE’ on August 6, featuring production by labelmates Franco.$ and Kaiote. It follows the rapper’s 2021 release, ‘佛牌 PAY ME TWICE’, which is slated to feature on his upcoming EP ‘CINA Pt. 2’ later this year.

‘CINA Pt. 1’ was released in late December 2020 and serves as the first of a series of three EPs which will form the rapper’s ‘CINA’ album. According to his YouTube channel, the album is also expected to be released in 2022.
