Is Aqualaskin a seasonal wonder?
30 MONTHS, 17 DAYS SINCE AQUALASKIN RELEASED “M’SMBI”, THE ARTIST IS YET TO MAKE ANOTHER ‘A MILLION YOUTUBE VIEWS’ RECORD
On July 22, 2022 rapper, singer and dancer Aqualaskin released ‘M’smbi’, a track produced by Eazy The Producer which saw the artist shoot to prominent fame as the record was well received by the Zambian and international community amassing over 4.1 million YouTube views and 391,000 Spotify streams.
The artist went ahead and released a four-track extended play titled ‘Metamorphosis’, which struggled to find its feet in the Zambian audience but it was his collaboration ‘Nechalibobu’ with Swagdaddy that seemed to get a few on their feet but could not stand compared to ‘M’simbi’ commercial success.
One thing is true when it comes to the Lusaka based artist, he’s a hard worker – achieving the success he has after the struggles growing up and ‘gang’ issues he highlighted on That Zed Podcast, is no small thing, the multi-talent artist gives his all – despite all that his recent record ‘TUNTU’ has had no desirable success.
Earlier his ‘Tidwale’ original and remix, really showed the artist’s creative process but recently, his struggles to reach prominence after his musical break sparks a lot of questions, “does he really have what it takes, or he is a one season artist?”
