Other artistes who featured on the album are Blush from 2BG, Taurai Mandebvu, Jackie Ndove, Diana Samkange, Tamic and Mafriq.

“The album is about the things that made an impact in my life so far, which are love, music and death. It is bout how to deal with such issues when life takes an unexpected turn,” Shayne Ndingz added.

Currently, the Chigutiro Records co-founder, Shayne Ndingz is studying towards a degree in medicine at a university in England where he met Hammond during his tour of that country.
