Zaki Ibrahim
Dubstep: 3 collabos from
one of SA's hardest working musicians,
Zaki ibrahim (South Africa/Canada)
Explode is the latest release from South London's LV, the trio behind the banging and much hyped Kwaito-inspired Boomslang on Hyperdub late last year.
This more chilled out, and arguably more international, new number on 2nd Drop features the honey-voiced South African soul singer Zaki Ibrahim, a familiar name to This Is Africa regulars.
The track was laid down at the Red Bull Studios in Cape Town. Speaking of which, Zaki also lent her vocals to the very dope lovestep/dubstep jam Dragonfly Slip, the lead track on the 4-track EP of the same name from one of the major players in South Africa's electronic music scene, Red Bull Studio's own Richard the Third.

Zaki's new album drops in a few months. Damn, this is one busy lady!
