RISING star on the hip-hop scene, Ismael Whisky better known as 216 Whisky, described his most recent project Sango, which features Maje Afrika, as a hip-hop afrofusion centred on the idea that humans must have a higher power in order to defeat evil spirits.
The musician told NewsDay Life & Style that the song depicts how the real world functions, utilising creativity to convey a message through images, unpacking how people can betray others with ease — a tactic known to young people nowadays as “snitching” and how one can work hard to achieve something while others look down on it or take for granted such accomplishments.
He said the song was an appeal to God for peace to prevail in all circumstances.
“The song contains a hidden message, people pursuing me were not actually people. They represent spirits of the dark while rescuers are representing angels that heal and give me power. When I face the spirits from the dark again, I defeat them which implies that we all need a higher power for us to win against dark spirits,” 216 Whisky said.
He said when artistes released visuals, fans carefully considered the amount of work that went into creating the piece.
The musician expressed optimism that the song will perform well on digital platforms.
The musician hogged the limelight with his song Gore featuring Mr Attention last year. Later, he collaborated with Wedande on a song called Nzira.
Recently, the artiste and afro-jazz sensation Selmor Mtukudzi worked together on a song called Zodzo.
