ARTIST OF THE WEEK :SLAP D

Share


 

Mwila Musonda ,commonly known as Slap D is one of the most popular Zambian rappers . One can argue that he was the first to make it big whilst rapping in his local language as opposed to english. The fact that he raps in his local languge makes him more popular because it makes him original .He has very good song writing skills

RISE TO FAME

He releases his first album” Asembe Isebenza” in 2006 . But it was his second album “So che” that catapulted him to national level . His songs “solola” and “takwaba” were very popular.  He continued to show growth both in his rapping and song writing skills , continuing to push himself to new levels and always bringing something fresh for his fans.

In 2009 he released his third album “Black na white” . It was received very well by his fans and people who were only casual listeners of his became loyal supporters . Songs such as “Gold digger” and  “Chishinka” were on heavy rotation on radio stations.

FUTURE

He is currently working on his fourth album under his label “XYZ entertainment” . He continues to grow in popularity both within and outside Zambia .  The quality of his music , beat wise and content wise are always improving as is the quality of his music videos .

His latest video “Looking for love” is evidence of his growth. He enlists the help of Samba on a contagious chorus which adds that extra something to this great track.

Another of his recent hits is “Nomba Ninshi

There is no limit , he will continue to grow from strength to strength.

  1. This dude is a beast!!! He is beasting for real elo muchibemba!!!!!Awe Slap D…yo just got a new fan!!!NOMBA NINSHI!!! thats my new anthem..lol

  2. I agree, these kids who try to Rap are a disgrace, ativensa nsoni ife tili kuno kwamene ichoka hip hop, Crap why cant they just be like JK original Zambian will always be good, question we should ask is why is Congolese music doing well across the globe, reason is simple, stick to your own African style

  3. The problem with our kid brothers and sisters music is that very few talk about mature real life issues. lyonse kulandafye pa tuputula nama hips

  4. If only these guys could be real and sing original Zed music, they could break the boundaries and make headlines in others lands. But as long as they continue with their fake music (NO IDENTITY), their music will alwys be confined to the dirty streets of kamwala, kabwata, wusakile and other shanty compounds!.

    #3: Musonda,
    Are u sure u ar in Portland? I didnt know there was another Zedian here in OR!

  5. Imwe bakemba who can imitate Lucky Dube. All his songs carry good message and it builds. i would be very happy if at all some of our Musicians can sing such kind of music. Not always same language of love which does nt exist. And now it has become unrully the way dancin queens and the artists themselve dress. Am talkin about women in particular. Mutunvesa nsoni mwandini. What ar we goin to teach our children. i may seem to b behind in todayz fashion but its too much.

  6. Am tired of listening to fake so called love songs…. Musicians, pliz be more creative and sing Mafunde music.

  7. AMA RUBISHI YEKA YEKA. IS THIS MUSIC. HOW I MISS PK CHISHALA, MULEMENA, CHIGANGU, PAUL NGOZI, AND THE LIKE. GOOD OLD DAYS NOT THIS CHAPS TRYING TO BEHAVE AS IF IF THEY ARE IN LAS VEGAS, RUBISH. LT WE NEED NEWS NOT THIS CRAP. WHAT IS THE MESSAGE IN THIS SONG. EVEN THE SERENJE KALINDULA BAND ARE BETTER OFF, THE CHRIS CHALI OF THIS WORLD OR ALFRED CHISHALA. HOW I MISS GOOD OLD DAYS WHEN I WAS IN ZAMBIA.

  8. I think Macky ii is better than this guy in creativity and flow of rap lyrics…. I wonder what criteria LT used to come up with Slap D as artist of the week…. :-?

  9. slap is hard, i never liked him @ first mayby simply because i was jealous but now i just have to admit that his hip hop is excellent. Maky 2 is also good but not better than slap, besides Slap has inspired many artists including Maky 2, no doubt about it.

  10. Guys if u dnt kno wat we talkin bout dont coment. They ar genres in music. R n b,hip hop,rock,kalindula,regae,zed beats,funky etc. Hw do u xpect hiphop artist 2 imitate dube o pk chishala. We respect yo opinion though n thanx 2 thos critcizn constructivly nt jst tok.we appreciate nigaz, thumbs high.

  11. The videos are so lame. Americans are busy stealing afro dance moves yet the girls in Zed videos try to dance like Americans but are so pathetic at it. Keep to your Zed dance moves. 

  12. If u want pk chishala o yo watevr go follow them wher thy are. Am sure thy hav releasd latest söngs. .more so u b shockd that thy ar evn apreciatn wat thse guys ar doin evn if t wer them thy wld hav changed ther genres 2 hip. Mudala we ar in a new generation yo old days wont cum.jst change and enjoy wats there now

  13. Macky 2 is unless his videos are low quality and the songs beats are almost the same!! Hez still an infant and cn’t compare him to SLAP DEE!!

  14. this is nonse, this fool is nothing compared to the kopala swaga.marky 2 is very creative and intelligent not this drop out.

  15. ifinimbo bemba amaguyz aba tafyawama ngu tekuchita compare types of music. MAKILIKILI of botswana is even better in both singing and dancing. ifyafast namukosha na mashiwi. abanenu ba nigeria bafumya SAWASAWAYE elo imwe mwakopa mufimanimbo ifingi.whats that?

  16. mulepwisha nama album. Aleast DAN is creative and not those those guyz. south african music is good and beating our muscian several times i can accept. ulwimbo ati AWE CHACHILAMO UKULOWAMAYO, can it be compared to malaika, brenda fassie and everlasting DUBES songs imwe?

  17. ANGELA nyelenda naimwe ilya culture music yenu, we need it. those songs like( ngoma) are nice. why leting these fima guyz comfusing us. i personally hate their music nowarder you dont play live like sakala brothers in UK.

  18. No, the boy is trying. Even if others are condemning – for what he has come with- thats talent. I don’t like the other thief calling himself Macky II because he is always singing bad things about this slap D.

  19. this guy is just a lost idol. marky 2 is the real kopala swaga.this is not america and he should just try something nwe not immitating others. you fool, are just a looser. zip youir……………………….. WATCH OUT.

  20. SLAP DEE HAS NEVA GONE DOWN,DESPITE THE HARDSHIPS HE STIL TOPS ZED RAP.ASK RAYDO,MAMPI,TOMMY D,MARKY 2,CRISIS.AT LAST THEY ALL WANNA BE FRIENDS, WAKE UP
