A swaggeringly stylish, sharp, soulful, funny, proclamatory new release by rapper and singer Sampa Tembo celebrating her return to her native Zambia, with rebuffs to her previous home Australia and its music industry, and nods to Zamrock, lyrics in the Bantu language, and multiple African and other collaborators. That includes Zambian producer Mag44, as well as Denzel Curry, Joey Bada$$, and on standout tracks Let Me Be Great with Angélique Kidjo, with Kojey Radical on Lane, but particularly on lead single Never Forget the Zambian R&B singer Tio Nason (who sings in Chewa), rapper Chef 187 and her sister Mwanjé. Confident, ballsy, witty, clever and catchy. Only her second LP after the heady days of debut The Return and that classic single Final Form, but with plenty more to come.Out on Loma Vista.
