Africa-born artists are certainly having a growing impact and influence on the Hip Hop world. One of those at its vanguard is DRAGG, birth name Lawrence Sibanda, a Johannesburg, South Africa-born Hip Hop artist, writer and producer, who’s parents were originally from Zimbabwe. Although his parents eventually migrated to England where he later joined them, DRAGG returned for a brief stay in Zimbabwe and “came to realise that Bulawayo and Johannesburg were culturally, linguistically and musically very interwoven”. And this diverse background has certainly added to the power of his work. The latest example, in exciting news, is DRAGG announcing his latest single, an acoustic version of one of his favorites “Dear Mama” is set to drop on Friday, March 12th just in time for British Mother’s Day, March 14th. The enthusiasm surrounding the new release is high and rising.
“I wrote/released the original version of this song featuring a different artist back in 2010 when I was 16,” commented DRAGG. “My purpose was to show appreciation and unconditional love to my mum who has stood by me through everything. Given the 2020/2021 we’ve had with the Covid 19 pandemic, I want to give the world a sound track to also celebrate still having a mum this Mother’s Day.”
An example of the high regard held for DRAGG’s work is seen in him being one of the latest 21 emerging black British artists to receive career support from MOBO Help Musicians fund, a scheme that facilitates opportunities for musicians creating Music Of Black Origin, and helps upcoming black musicians develop their skills, build income streams and business skills to drive their careers forward.
The new single follows DRAGG’s 2020 debut release EP “L.i.T”, which received a remarkable reception. No stranger to high energy live performances, DRAGG has shared the stage with the likes of The Game, JLS, Wretch 32, Tim Westwood, DJ Ace and DJ Edu. With more sure to come.
