“It’s important for us as Bulawayo artists to come together and take ownership of our product. The festival we held last month was to celebrate music from Bulawayo and promote local talent, hence, the collaboration (Ben 10) which is a result of the festival, there is power in collaborations,” Black Diamond’s Sugar Shane said.
We are happy with the response that we have been getting so far from fans. We hope it will catapult every artist who featured.”
The song which has a Gqom beat is a party song which talks about a good life, living large and spending money the “Ben 10s”.
