Songstress Hellen Lukoma has finally dropped the visuals for her latest single “Umbrella”.

The multi-talented singer, actress and fashion designer has taken to her social media today to debut the video of the song that features her assuring her love interest that she will stick with him through thick and thin.
The sultry video was shot and directed by Can Videoz.

Hellen Lukoma meanwhile recently confirmed her engagement to a yet to be identified man.

NASTY C, the 21-year-old rapper who is also aptly known as The Coolest Kid in Africa has released TODAY his highly anticipated sophomore effort, Strings And Bling.  The album landed at #1 spot on ITUNES and #2 on Apple Music. #StringsAndBling is also trending #1 on Twitter.

The seventeen track project, finds Nasty C rapping about his real life over production by the likes of American producers, Blu Magiq and Cxdy as well as Africa’s own Gemini Major, Tweezy, Gobbla, and up-and-coming trailblazer, Nani.  Guest appearances include A$AP Ferg, Ivyson Entertainment recording artist Rowlene and Kaien Cruz.

There is skillful storytelling on ‘Blisters’, where Nasty C incorporates pockets of Zulu to compliment a compelling narrative that includes a conversation with God.  On ‘SMA (Send Me Away),’ Rowlene, makes an appearance in an intense ditty about infidelity. Here, Nasty C reverses roles and lays bare the vulnerability of young love. ‘You Played Yourself’ showcases Nasty C’s knack for switching up flows and reinforces one message: always be yourself.

“Strings refers to the string instruments on the album but it also refers to the idea of a string of connections,” Nasty C comments. “There’s a connection to the first person I call when I get into trouble. A connection to the person I speak to when I’m low, the spirit – that’s my mother. There’s a connection to friends.”

“Bling is meant in the literal sense,” he continues. “But it also means to shine and be out there. It’s about being confident like how I say: ‘I was talking to God like I was talking to my bro/He said I gave you what you need to release your inner glow.’” Nasty C’s time to shine is now.
