Afro hip-hop rapper Pee-Kay has roped in top musicians to feature on the remix of his chart topper “Ma1”. Featured are United Kingdom based duo of BKay and Kazz, MMT, Pro Kid The Beat Boxer as well as yesteryear rapper David Chifunyise.
“The remix feels like an all-star line-up with all the artistes laying their verses but BaShupi is still on the chorus this is because we want the track to lose its traditional flair,” Pee-Kay whose real name is Patrick Kahalri said.

Production wise, the song has changed slightly but has that thumping bass and more energy.

According to Pee-Kay the video of the remix will be dropped soon.

“The new video is coming soon but the album will be released in the second half of the year. So my fans should look out for that its going to be a club banger,” Pee-Kay said.

But a follow up single titled “Kwaakumberi” is due for release on April 1 or is it the “Fools Day”.

Last year, Pee-Kay toured the United States promoting his new EP called “Ma1” that features the hits – “Ma1” featuring BaShupi and “Letting Go” featuring Bongo Maffin’s Speedy.

The two singles made waves on all national radio stations including Star FM while the videos got heavy rotation on satellite music channels such as Channel O and Boss TV.

“Ma1”, which some fans like to call “Mamonya”, was brilliantly done in High Definition.

But the one thing you got to give to Pee-Kay was that he brought some of the A-listers in the region including the likes of Nigerian pop star D-Banj, Junior Brown, Pokello Nare, Suluman Chimbetu, BaShupi, Mic Inity, Smylie and a fitness trainer popularly known as Mugo.

The video is absolute magic and the choreography is on point. It’s the same quality on “Letting Go” where Pee-Kay and Speedy flaunt their bling.

Apparently, “Ma1” also written in Shona as “mahwani” in street lingo, means going through a rough patch. The Harare rapper, whose real name is Patrick Kahlari, is eyeing a major comeback with the release of his EP.

“Ma1” and “Letting Go”  were produced by Zimbabwean producer Simba Tagz at the Show Time Studios in South Africa. “Ma1” has a catchy chorus where BaShupi laces his signature traditional hooks just like he did on “Godo”.
