DANCEHALL musician Freeman HKD, born Emegy Sylvester Chizanga, on Saturday gave a scintillating performance when he launched his 13th album titled Me vs Me at Alexandra Sports Club in Harare.
The rains that had pounded some parts of Harare, especially the city centre late Saturday afternoon could not deter the sheer willpower of thousands of the HKD family that thronged the venue.
Among the fans was football star Khama Billiat and many other sports and showbiz personalities.
Me Vs Me is a compilation album, which carries 16 tracks that was released last Thursday.
It features superstars Nutty O, Master H, Daruler, Soulful Leah and Mandy Ahwee.
The album launch coincided with the inaugural HKD Festival.
