you need to be original young man
Yeah sounds like Lil wayne no doubt.Originality is the key.
Zambians can only rap & nothing else. From rapping they can get gold.
Everyones american nowadays. If these zambian rappers were actors they would have won oscars from their impersonations of americans.
Mr Miyagi!! We salute. :)
It might not sound original. But its too nice to evan come from someone Zambian.;) don’t get discouraged.
