Big Zulu’s label Inkabi Nation issues a thank you note to Mzansi for all the support in 2020.
When Reggae star, Koffee sings “gratitude is a must” we know she’s saying the right thing. It has been a joy ride to the top this year for Mzansi rapper and actor, Big Zulu. He has recorded a lot of success with his music and he’s already closing the year in a huge way.
In a statement shared on Instagram, Zulu’s record label, Inkabi Records thanked Mzansi for the support they received this year. The label had a lot of success with songs released by Big Zulu and their first signed artist, Mduduzi Nqube.
Zulu’s hit song “Mali Eningi” featuring Riky Rick and Intaba Yase Dubai has become a massive success. It is said to have saved SA Hip Hop in a time many said the genre needed saving. It also records over 1 million views each week exceeding even the label’s expectation. Shout out to them.
