About the album

Music is not just art, just words, just sounds, it is an invisible net that binds

us, fusing with our souls, telling our stories. This is the story of how A Tribe Called Quest inspired these artists to make a difference musically, to not fear being different, to not fear self expression. This tribute is to thank ATCQ for being the first to take these steps, and to make it easier for those who followed.

Like all art forms, music is a means of self-expression. This album is an

expression whose purpose is to thank A Tribe Called Quest for being, not only a

source of inspiration, but more importantly a source of positive energy.

This album also serves as a message to ATCQ, urging them to get past their

differences and remember their roots as a hip hop band. We hope that the

response will remind the band of why they started making music, of their roots, and of their duty to their fans.

“The Heroes: A Tribute To A Tribe Called Quest” is a voyage, from the 90’s when ATCQ was at its peak, to now, taking the listener on an evolutionary tour of hip hop to Southern Africa. This album is not only a tribute to ATCQ, but also a symbol of the happiness and joy in the simplicity of life, love, and music.

Recorded Live in Mozambique.

Zubz EPK Session 01 : "A Tribute To The High Priestess Of Soul" Feat Mizi and Nyambz

Publicado el 30/10/2013

It has been 8 years, almost to the day, since Zambian-born rapper Ndabaningi "Zubz" Mabuye worked on a full length project with hip hop producers Mizi Mtshali and Inyambo "Nyambz" Imenda. This had been his second studio album, Headphone Music In A Parallel World, in which Mizi appeared on 80% of the production credits, and Nyambz produced the controversial album single, "Get Out", which caused an uproar involving the political party Freedom Front Plus.

Fitting with Zubz's inclining towards social and political commentary, The trio has begun work on their second collective project, which is a tribute to arguably one of the music world's boldest socio-political commentators, the late Dr.Nina Simone. The project, titled A Tribute To The High Priestess Of Soul, makes use of samples of Nina Simone's work. The two producers craft the samples into hip hop beats and Zubz puts down the raps.

The album is being recoded at the world class Goliath Studio in Brooklyn, Pretoria. The studio features state-of-the art equipment and recording facilities, and was chosen as the home of this project because of its sophisticated, yet comfortable modern aesthetic.

The project has since produced provocative songs such as "Slave", where the super-MC and the high priestess speaks about mental, emotional and racial slavery, as well as "What They Want" which speaks to the pressure performing artists feel to give people what they want to hear. The song is introduced by a powerful quote by Nina Simone where she says: "She tried to give people what they wanted. That's a mistake really. You'll give up everything you've got trying to give the people what they want."

The project also promises a powerful line-up of international and local collaborations, the details of which the producers anent willing to let out of that bag at this stage.

Not only does the collaboration between these three artists promise to once again revolutionize music in South Africa, but also change the way albums are consumed, through a unique online solution which will also be launched together with the project. The project is set to be complete by November with the first singles set to be released in December.

Zubz The Last Letta (Zambia - Zimbabwe - South Africa) : "Stereotypes" single On #FD

Zubz The Last Letta is a Zambian born, Zimbabwe-raised and South Africa-based hip-hop artist. He has earned his title as one of SA’s most respected Emcees through his music; three albums – all critically acclaimed and a number of mixtapes, compilations and cameos. Zubz’s attention to detail when it comes to his lyrical content has set him apart from other rappers and his insight into the realities of people in three different countries has helped colour his storytelling abilities.

His musical repertoire has led to him collaborating with artists from all over the African continent including Liz Ogumbo from Kenya, Manifest from Ghana and Holstar from Zambia amongst others. He has also graced stages with the likes of Pops Mohammed, Sibongile Khumalo and Holland-based pop sensation Giovanca.

Zubz has taken his artistry to a new level by adding guitar player and singer to his list of talents and skills which include producer and composer. He’s currently working on his fourth offering, which will show off these talents. The album, titled Dragon Lion Full Circle, marks a decade of being a solid voice

in African hip hop.

Label : Quiet Riot Media

Hip Hop Artist/Activist Zubz The Last Letta has released a second single from his upcoming album, DragonLion FullCircle.

On July 24th of this year, Zubz released the first track from his fourth studio project; Extras. Hot on the heels of that release is his second single Stereotypes.

Produced and mixed by Zimbabwean music composer/singer/songwriter Simba Tagz, Stereotypes is a percussive celebration of all who rise above the limits ascribed to them by society. Punctuated by horn blasts and open snares, the track immediately conjures mental images of a marching band at a winners’ parade.

“This song is literally a toast” says Zubz, “to all who took every negative stereotype attached to their person or circumstance and turned it around to become so much more!” Lyrically the song’s powerful messaging is divided into Male (verse 1) and Female (verse 2).

Zubz debuted Stereotypes on South Africa’s biggest youth radio station, YFM, on Friday 14 September and immediately made the song available shortly after for free download. Says the artist, “YFM as a platform represented for me a place where I learnt that there were people just like me who were doing extraordinary things in my own town! It made me want to rise above my circumstance too. So I had to start sharing that message on the same platform I learnt it from.”

Stereotypes is only the second of many more songs that are pegged for release off the new Zubz album DragonLion_FullCircle.
