FATSANI KALONDA – DAILY TIMES
Gospel music rapper David
Kalilani has resurfaced with a track titled ‘Flaws Reloaded’ which has been inspired
by Phyzix’s recent release ‘Flaws’.
In ‘Flaws’, Phyzix brags
about himself, fame and achievements and then takes a swipe at his haters.
The award-winning artist
sings in ‘Flaws’ that: “I’ve given you 15 years of my life sacrificing time
with my family, my career, personal life yaineyo kumayipeleka ku sound
nkumaphweketsabe,…is this what you wanted? ….”
But having listened to
Phyzix’s ‘Flaws’, Kalilani, decided to respond with ‘Flaws Reloaded’, which he
drops today.
Kalilani said he felt that there is a whole sub-genre of gospel hip-hop which has not been given the space, hence coming out with the track.
He said he worked on the
song to represent Christian rap and also show that there were gifted artists
starring in Christian rap.
Kalilani said there was no
beef in the track, describing Phyzix as a “great artist”.
“In my freestyle, I have
addressed certain things which I feel are unnecessary when we create music,” he
said.
The Christian rapper also
said that he felt uncomfortable with some of the elements in the track.
He said he has not changed
his musical approach and that for those who know him better, he is not afraid
of speaking the truth.
“My expectation from those
who listen and follow me is that they will be inspired,” Kalilani said.
He said the creativity in
the song will spark something and that it was time for people to hear from him
again.
Phyzix heaped praise on
Kalilani, describing the work as creative.
“’Flaws’ freestyle was big
and the ‘Flaws’ freestyle challenge was equally very big. This one by David
Kalilani brings in a new perspective on the Christian front. I am excited,” the
World Wrestling Entertainment snacks ambassador said.
Meanwhile, the artist has
said he plans to start working with budding musicians through the ‘Flaws
Reloaded’ project and that it will be a contest for Christian artists, where
prizes will be won.
