SOUTH Africa-based rapper Mlue Jay is making waves on the prestigious Channel O.
Mlue Jay's fresh releases from his album Umsaphazi have been receiving heavy rotation on Channel O and recently being voted into the top 10 videos of the week.
'Nga pause' has made it to Channel O's top 10 charts, while Utshintshi recently debuted on Crispy Fresh. Labangane will be premiering on Channel O next week.
Mlue Jay has recorded five videos from the 11-track album. If the other videos make it on Channel O, he could become the only artist from Zimbabwe to have five visuals from the same album on the prestigious channel.
"Umsaphazi has been doing well, and the plan proves to be working. We intended to do more visuals and flood television. It's a good way to put the name to the face.
"I am grateful to everyone who made all this possible, from the production up to the distribution of the final product. I hope the album reaches more people and does better than what the last album did," said Mlue Jay.
This hip-hop trap album showcases Mlue Jay's growth and versatility as an artist.
Umsaphazi features an impressive lineup of collaborations with renowned artists such as Vusa Mkhaya, LaCabra from Qwellers, Dough Major, Floppy X, Tebza, Curfew630, KayFlow, and SlimPimp. The album was expertly mixed and mastered by YeahWeLit Entertainment studios, ensuring a world-class production quality.
The beats were crafted by a diverse range of producers, including Aboriginal Junkie from Russia, Kly You Ugly from Zimbabwe, L.A.X Plug Beats from Zimbabwe, E.T from the USA, and M1 also from the USA. This blend of international talent brings a unique flavor to the album, making it a standout in the hip-hop trap genre.
Umsaphazi is a testament to Mlue Jay's dedication to his craft and his passion for creating music that resonates with his audience. With this album, he solidifies his position as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
