Their new track, Drink Up (Problems Away), is more than just a party anthem โ itโs a cross-continental communion of dancehall royalty. With Winky Dโs razor-sharp lyrical charisma and Busy Signalโs unmistakable Jamaican cadence, the song pulses with a celebratory defiance: a toast to resilience, unity, and momentary escape from lifeโs burdens.
Produced by Layan Souljah and recorded by Oskid, the track blends Zimbabwean urban grooves with Caribbean swagger, offering a beat thatโs as infectious as it is cathartic. The AI-generated video, directed by Jusa Demantor, adds a surreal visual layer to the collaboration, amplifying its global appeal. Fans have already dubbed it the unofficial anthem of the Kadoma Music Festival, where both artists are expected to share the stage on October 11โpotentially performing the track live for the first time in Zimbabwe.
The timing couldnโt be more poetic. As the nation grapples with economic strain and political fatigue, Drink Up (Problems Away) arrives like a sonic breather โ a reminder that joy, even if fleeting, is a form of resistance.
Winky D, long known for threading social commentary into his music, seems to be offering a moment of levity without abandoning depth. And Busy Signalโs presence? Itโs a nod to the global resonance of Zimbabwean sound, and a signal that the ghetto gospel knows no borders.
If this is the energy theyโre bringing to Kadoma, then festival-goers better lace up their dancing shoes and brace for a performance thatโs equal parts fire and fellowship.
