Zambian Hip-Hop Veteran, Holstar, aka Duncan Sodala, is scheduled to release his latest EP ‘Dreams Never Die’, this Friday the 19th, 2021, on various streaming platforms.
For the past few weeks, Holstar has taken to social media teasing tidbits of what fans can expect from his new project.
The 5 track EP with a 16min runtime, is the artist’s 5th solo EP and 18th overall body-of-work, coming straight off the heels of his acclaimed 2020 album, ‘Kupeleka Nyali Ya Moto’, which sees Holstar deviate a lot from Hip-Hop, the genre of which he’s branded for, in favor of a more indie and pop approach with sounds analogous to bands like Oasis.
While the EP’s focus isn’t primarily Hip-Hop, it doesn’t lack for diversity, with a feature from rap artiste and spoken word poet, Destro, who features on track #1, kicking off the EP; and production from the talents of Blaq On The Beat and Church, all of whom are no strangers to Hip-Hop; making up the squadron of artistes and producers lending their vocals and production skills to the project.
Other names on the EP include J-Hun, Kelvin Sarrz, Paul Makes Magic, Killa, and Paul Kruz.
‘Dreams Never Die’ is meditative and beholden in its sound and subject matter.
