GENERAL OZZY UNLEASHES UNSTOPPABLE EP 

David Banda alas Ozzy was born in Ndola 34 years ago, Ozzy blasted to fame on the Zambian music scene in 2004 with a track entitled “Backstabber” which eventually earned a spot in the Romaside compilation alongside artists like Exile, MC Wabwino and Runnel.

Unarguably, the over 10 years hit maker is the most consistent artist from the generation of music artists that pioneered Zambian music to the level it is now. Having had his stint with Sling Beats Records where he released so many hits from, he has never stopped to woo his fans with banging tracks.

General Ozzy has officially let loose his Unstoppable EP after a successful listening session at Vegas Annex VIP in Longacres, Lusaka.

The event which was mostly attended by TV and Radio personalities from different media organisations coupled with some artists and music producers.

KB and Vjeezy were the hosts, Supasta DJ was on hand to deliver hot choones on decks and some notable names included Cash Money and Flex from 4fm, 3illmatic from Rock fm, Master LT and Showstar from Hone fm, Spina from Comet fm and Jekafela Jams from Hot fm.

The Zambezi Magic crew comprised of DSTV Marketing Manager Ndela Sichizya, Public Relations Manager Mwika Malindima, GOTV Public Relations Officer Kalumba Chikonde –Ksmash and a renowned Public Relations Practioner Mumbi Mutale now with Society for Family Health (SFH) were also in attendance.

Zambian artists were encouraged to submit their videos so that they are aired on the DSTV musical channels.

Music producers Raydo and Trickstar, Hiphop artists Secret and Tiye-P and an Ikonik song bird Nyemba were equally spotted in the crowd.

The curtain raiser of the night was none other than the Kopala based Hiphop artist K’Chinga followed by the singing sensation Wezi, who never ceases to captivate people’s hearts with her soulful flavour.

She performed an acoustic version of General Ozzy’s “Take My Heart” then wrapped up with Chi Daddy, her latest single, which is currently enjoying massive airplay on most of the Radio Stations.

DJ Cosmo also laced it with “Olipa” act of his dancehall jams before the freshest and dopest name in game MK Macky 2 delivered a killa performance that left most of the revellers still yearning for more.

Just before the sampling could begin, Ozzy’s young brother, Brotherhood Music C.E.O, a Multi Award Winner, Singer and Producer, Roberto performed Ama-Rulah and his newest single, which has an awesome and fresh video – #Mailo.

After all these performances, it was now time for General Ozzy to step up to the stage and mesmerised the crowd with his antics and lyrics of his most popular tracks.

Some tracks he sampled included “Sebenza” featuring Crisis aka Mr Swagger, the Legendary Zambian Hip hop artist but based in Australia then came “Everything” ft Jody from Namibia, “Girlfriend” featuring Knii Lante produced by TK Romaside then he went on to perform some tracks from the EP, kicking it off with “Mahala”, followed by “She loves the boy” and shut it down with “Pamodzi” together with Wezi.

The 12 track album was auctioned for K3, 000 with the highest bidder being a Ugandan Entrepreneur James Byaru who travelled all the way just to witness the certified release of Unstoppable EP.

This was very historical in that, it’s at the same Vegas Annex VIP where last year in November, KB’s “My Diary” album was auctioned at K3,000 after which PJAY’s “Lesa Somone” went up to K3, 500 in December.

The figures are totally impressive and it’s all thanks to everyone that has been supporting and appreciating the works that these artists put in.

At the moment, the album is only available on iTunes but it will soon be in all the leading sound stores nationwide.

Incontrovertibly, the Unstoppable EP sampling party which ended after midnight was an epic moment and this is what we ought to embrace as lovers of Zambian Music.

The 5-star General urged his fellow artists to always speak out their minds through songs regardless of what the next person is going to say or think.

He reckoned how much he had peace of mind while recording this album, which has made a positive contribution to the project.
