T-Sean links up with Young Kay and Flex Zm on “Chimanibaba,” a collaborative record with three Zambian voices. The song sits on T-Sean’s tribute EP, Woke Up Missing You, which arrived on September 29, 2026. While much of the project carries a reflective tone, “Chimanibaba” moves in a livelier direction, and that shift gives the five-track body of work a different kind of energy.
The EP was made in memory of T-Sean’s late wife, Sharai, so the personal weight behind it is clear. But “Chimanibaba” works as a counterpoint rather than a contradiction. Young Kay and Flex Zm each bring their own vocal approach, and the result feels connected to the sound of contemporary Zambian music without losing the thread of the project around it.
Placing a collaborative, upbeat song beside more introspective material says something about how T-Sean chose to honour the record’s subject. It opens the EP up to listeners who might come for the feature pairings first.
