Diamond Platinumz’s new album could be another pacesetter for the African music scene

Speaking during a tv interview with BBC,  Diamond Platinumz hinted at releasing his new album soon. The new album will be the second of his after the 2018 A boy from Tandale became a success to date.

As the Bongo world keeps growing Diamond Platinumz has been able to create music that is easy to resonate with by all sorts of people.

Amid the Covid -19 Pandemic the ‘Baba Lao’hit maker was keen to mention that he is now focused on his new album.

I believe this will be another big success for  ‘Simba’ because he is a force that many wish to work with.

Pacesetter?

Hate him or love him, as an artist Diamond has a grasp of what his audience loves.

I remember sometime back when he was on the Trend with Larry Madowo Diamond said that once you know what your fans want, it is easy to write the proper music.

For the longest time he has had collaborations all over African and all internationally with artists like Rick Ross, Neyo among others.

For a guy like this I believe his album will be another of a kind. He wil have many wishing to collaborate with him in future.

I mean the, Diamond can make Swahili sound sassy in an all English song, what of Spanish? Well its a wait and see situation.

However, I can bet that the album will have few Nigerian artists and big American stars too.

What about Kenyan artists?

I mean we have Willy Paul whose voice would be good blend with Diamond’s, if not ‘Mtoto wa Diana’ -Bahati too could be a good idea.  No? Well you be the judge.

Bottom line,this album will top charts if not be among the biggest in terms of streams on digital platforms.

In the meantime we keep waiting on good music that will set the pace for most of African artists.

Diamond Platinumz releases new jam Dubbed “Baba Lao” and we love it(video)

Chibu Dangote alias Diamond Platinumz is clearly on a musical spree. Even amidst plans of one of the biggest events of East Africa Wasafi Festival. Diamond has dropped a new banger dubbed “Baba Lao”.

On the other hand remember his biggest Rival Ali Kiba turned down his invite to perform at the event, but that seems to be an non issue.

Baba Lao

However, in this new jam seems to be calling out his rivals as he says that he is actually the King of music in East Africa meaning “Baba Lao”.

Further on, he goes far by showing how he appreciates current government officials like Tanzania’s president, Magufuli, the Dar es Salaam Governor, Paul Makonda and Prime minister, Kassim Majaliwa. Siasa huh!!!

The groovy single is an obvious dance tune that will be quite a thing at Wasafi Festival. Furthermore, we know Chibu Dangote is a very good dancer.

Interestingly, even as we dance around it the jam has some lyrics that you would think he is calling out those who hold beef agains him.

He says“,….Mondi nyangema, Shimo ametema (ametema),Amefosi bifu mseleleko (Eeeh! Tumemkwepa)
Amebaki masononeko….”mchokozi huyu aisee!!

Lucky enough, the song has been well received across his audience some saying he wanted to Squash “Uno” by Konde Boy -Harmonize. Could there be some truth in this? Well, will find out.

Sponsored

Apparently as we dance to this banger there is an allegation that Platinumz sponsored the song to trend at number One in Tanzania and at number two in Kenya. True?

Not so sure about the allegation but this is is a per revealed bu some screenshots of bloggers from Tanzania.

baba lao

Th after math of the Wasafi Festival is a wait and see. I mean is Simba himself!

In the meantime I rate this at 8/10. Tell us what you think.
