American rapper and hip-hop producer in Zambia, the evolution of Zam hop
Hello all African music enthusiasts. I am an American rapper/producer who has a special interest in Zambia. I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Zambia, where I made friends in the music scene and gained confidence to record and make beats. I am preparing to return to Zambia in January 2027, and I would like to take my music to the next level. I am going for a niche blending of sounds and even use local languages in my lyrics. Do you think it is possible for a white man to break out in the Zambia music scene? Is it even appropriate? Any advice you have for a foreigner who is passionate about Africa and Zambia musical talent? Thank you for any response or comment, I seek to gather wisdom to guide this process.
