Zambian rapper Muzo Aka Alphonso returns with a personal Bemba rap record titled “Ucili,” a song built on memory and fear of being forgotten. The track arrives as his first release after a string of recent drops, and it carries weight.
Production duties fall to Maseleti Pangoma and California, who craft a steady, understated beat. Their arrangement stays out of the rapper’s way, letting the drums breathe while the melody holds firm. That restraint matters here, because Muzo’s delivery is fast, direct, and loaded with emotion.
He raps in Bemba, asking a question many listeners will recognize: “Bushe Walindaba olo Ucili Ulanjibukisha,” which translates to “Have you forgotten me, or do you still remember me?” The hook lands because the production gives it space to settle.
Muzo Aka Alphonso hails from Kasama and rose through the Zambian hip-hop scene, previously leaving the Kopala Swarg label to push his own path. His writing stays personal, and this record fits that pattern.
So the beat does its job quietly while the message takes center stage. Have you added “Ucili” to your playlist yet? Drop your thoughts below.
