“African Hustle” is a positive message about working hard with what you have. This is Mzungu Kichaa’s first release since the release of his debut album in 2009, which won him an award at the African Achievement Awards. Since the release of his first album “Tuko Pamoja”, Mzungu Kichaa has been performing extensively in East Africa and met Dela during a visit to Nairobi. He later invited Dela to Dar es Salaam to perform at The Beat Festival, during which they recorded “African Hustle” at his studio Caravan Records. The collaboration marks an important step to build relationships between artists across the borders and to create a stronger East African music industry.
Dela and Mzungu Kichaa are shooting a video for the song in Nairobi, to be released on the 15th of November 2012.
Mzungu Kichaa has often described Dela as one of his favourite East African artists, so it is not surprising that he took the necessary steps to realise this collaboration. Dela is signed to the same label as Sauti Sol and Just A Band and also features on Sauti Sols hit “Mama Papa”.
“African Hustle” will be available on iTunes and other online platforms.
