Over the years we have seen the Zambian Music Industry evolve and grown to greater heights and slowly gaining recognition across Africa and around the globe.
We have our very own mainstream artist who have put in the much needed effort to break the ice to gain the respect and recognition they have now, this includes the legendary couple Izrael and Nalu, Macky 2, Slapdee, Cleo Ice Queen, Mampi, Yo Maps, Chef 187,Bombshell, Jay Rox and many more.
Well away from these household Names, We have seen an emerging growth in talent from the new comers which can’t go without notice.. Many of them are still in the background and i feel they are not getting the spotlight they deserve because trust me they are Good like extremely Good.
