On Wednesday 27th April 2022, Umusepela Chile (“UC”) and Headphone Music gave team
‘Finshi Fimbi’ and the entire zed hip hop community a treat by finally rolling out UC’s first
single of the year.
To the delight of the Zed hip hop fanbase and consumers alike, the song is graced with a
feature from a juggernaut emcee of storytelling and punchlines ‘Stevo the Rap Guru’.
As is now accustomed to most of his records the title ‘Judas’ kiss’ is yet another one that is
echoic of biblical scripture and characters.
By description, Judas’ Kiss is an unfiltered hip hop record to the core, whose storyline is
premised on client-lawyer relationship which has UC as an accused charged with the murder
of his girlfriend, explaining his alibi to his Defence lawyer Stevo.
With the release of Judas’ Kiss, UC picks up from where he left off only that this time, he
brings his story telling prowess to the centre stage. His delivery is certainly less provocative in
comparison to his recent single ‘python’ but is certainly above and beyond quite ‘thought
provoking’.
Stevo reminds everyone why he is hailed the rap guru with his punchlines and informative
bars disclosing that his knowledge on the legal process is beyond that of laymen.
Thus, to give a verdict on Judas Kiss, Stevo certainly represented himself to the best interest
of Zambian hip hop. It can also be safely adjudged beyond all reasonable doubt that zed hip
hop is not dead but is in fact in safe hands,saved by the prophesied lyrical messiah ‘Umusepela Chile’.
