OLIOS RECORDS, MBALULE, AND OTHER ZAMBIAN ARTISTS’ OWNED LABELS CAN’T AFFORD MIC BURNER – SAYS VINCHENZO M’BALE AS HE CALLS FOR INVESTING IN THE ARTIST
Stunned by Mic Burner’s artistry after their collaboration on “Yeh Yeh”, Vinchenzo vouched for the artist as he wished tycoon business owners would invest 200,000 USD (5,372,443.28 Zambian Kwacha) in the rapper’s career.
The rapper is so sure of investment paying off that bet his life on it. “If these big business owners would invest $200,000 in Mic Burner’s career that would be the best decision ever made for the betterment of Zambian Music Industry, trust me I can even bet my life for it,” Vinchenzo M’bale said in the post.
Several of his followers affirmed his assertion, showing that they share a similar strong belief in Mic Burner’s artistic abilities.
One social user shared a suggestion, “Let Yo Maps sign him under Olio Records, international DJ will do the rest.”
Vinchenzo would respond to the social user by the name of “Elder Ronald Siame,” he said with seemingly strong conviction, “Mbalule Zilile and any other record label owned by an artist in Zambia can’t afford Mic Burner’s artistry costs.”
Mic Burner released his last official singles five years ago, “Moment” and “Chema,” featuring Slapdee and May C, respectively.
Since then, the artist has from time to time featured on various singles notably Yo Maps’ Pic It Up and recently Vinchenzo M’bale’s YEH YEH and in those times, leaving his fans excited but disappearing before their smiles faded.
The artist who sited other contractual obligations for his absence on the music scene promised to release new music in 2023 while on That Zed Podcast, but he has not kept his word.
“I just haven’t released some stuff in a minute because I had some contractual obligations somewhere. I mean like, now I’m like on another page, so I’ve got enough content, so now it’s just about releasing the music and we’ve gotten that straight so people actually are going to hear a lot,” said Mic Burner on That Zed Podcast in 2023.
With now rapper Vinchenzo M’bale pleading for investors to assist revive his musical career, could it mean that the artist is being held back because of finances? Can Olios Records or other artist owned record labels manage to revive his career?
Well, for Micheal Mandona, his message has been clear since the beginning as he said in a 2016 interview with Afro Lounge, “Let me keep doing this, and make something out of it,” but it seems a lot of things have been holding him back from making Zambians who so much want him successful to experience his ultimate greatness.
