The superstar just needed 23 days to achieve this milestone – an impressive feat for the artist’s first release for a first release. The album is a contrains 13 tracks with tracks such as Amen and Sembe being fans top favorites based on the streams.

The artist whose first rise to fame came in June of 2023 after a snippet of his hit single FIRE went viral on Zambian TikTok and Facebook. Because of this viral spead, the artist was scouted by popular film maker and social media personality David Kazadi securing his spotlight on the Zambian music scene.
