Winky D, Beenie Man duet out
TOP dancehall chanter Winky D’s collaborative effort with Jamaican sensation Beenie Man has paid off with the release of the reggae duet — My Woman — which is already trending on Youtube, having clocked nearly 45 000 views by yesterday afternoon.
The track was released alongside Winky D’s other two songs Dzemudanga and Madrinks Macup, which are off the chanter’s forthcoming album, Gombwe.
The Ninja President announced the release of the music video — which deals with marital problems — to his fans (Magafa) through his official Facebook page, Winky D DiBigman, on Monday.
“Blessed Magafa, the wait is over. The Gafa Unites with the king of the Dancehall, Beenie Man, all for a good cause of confronting the daily risk of marital disharmony. This track adds to the narrative of the urban hustle for survival through looking at its interface with the institution of marriage,” he said.
Winky D said the collaboration with the Jamaican King of the Dancehall was the first song from his forthcoming album scheduled for release next year.
“The instrumental was produced by Nicky and is the first release from Winky D’s forthcoming album Gombwe to be released on his birthday in 2018,” an entry on the page reads.
The Gafa recently released a single, Dzemudanga, which has been described by listeners as political, given its insinuations that appear to point to Zanu PF factionalism.
Only a few local dancehall musicians have been able to do collaborations with internationally acclaimed musicians of Beenie Man’s mould.
