  1. This is rubbish. Can you see that a failed leadership has also exported failed musicians in diaspora. How can someone who has lived in Cardiff produce such a useless song with useless beat? Check on our neighbours like Zim and you can’t find such trash music like what is being released in Zambia.

  2. The boy was bored so he took his father’s PC found a loop to lay and sung on top of it. “Sung” I said? Squeaked on it
