dESH.DUBS, the trailblazing artist behind the genre-defying Zambezi music, has returned with his fifth album, Mataglap. Known for blending Roots Reggae, Hip-Hop, and Zambian rhythms, dESH.DUBS uses his multilingual talents in English, Nyanja, and Bemba to create music that explores love, relationships, and pressing social issues.
Mataglap showcases a roster of incredible guest artists, including Shimasta, The Mask, Milz, Ty2, Waina, and Louie X. From the opening track Mary J, a soulful love song featuring Milz, to Moye, a tribute to the strength of Black women, dESH.DUBS seamlessly fuses heartfelt themes with dynamic beats.
The album takes listeners on an emotional journey, diving into politically charged themes with tracks like Dubstar, a dark and intense fusion of Drill music and Afro-reggae, and Mataglap, a call to Pan-African unity inspired by revolutionary Kwame Toure. The Indonesian title reflects the madness and rage the album confronts, adding a layer of cultural depth to its narrative.
Tracks like Ready, an anti-war anthem featuring The Mask, and Nga Basosa, a politically charged hit, solidify dESH.DUBS’ reputation as a bold voice in contemporary music. Reflecting on Mataglap, dESH.DUBS says, “This album gave me the freedom to speak about politics, love, and hope. It was my sanctuary during difficult times, allowing me to find peace and clarity.”
With Mataglap, dESH.DUBS cements his place as a force in the global music scene. His unique Zamjam fusion—a blend of Zambian and Jamaican styles—makes this album a must-listen for fans of African music, Reggae, and Hip-Hop alike.
Mataglap is now streaming on all major platforms. Don’t miss this groundbreaking work from an artist redefining global music.
