The music star is among the African stars whose songs were picked and complied to make the Rhythms of Zamunda.
Rhythms of Zamunda is a collection of originals from African artists inspired by the highly anticipated comedy movie coming to America 2
The song Hallelujah was released in 2017 and garnered more than 1million views in the first 24 hours of its release and then the song was banned in Tanzania by the Tanzanian Communication Regulatory Authority.
Other artists who will be featured include Tiwa Savage, Tekno Fally Ipupa, Nasty C, the late Dj Arafat and so many other artists.
The album is being put together by the CEO of the Universal Music of South Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa Sipho Dlamini who said that it was important to put an emphasis on African songs. Because the first film was so legendary to Africans in the diaspora.
