I went to the same high school with Sampha back in Botswana. She was my senior. Now she's out here killing the rap game in Australia and worldwide. So proud!!!! Representing Zambian creatives. I'm here for this! 🙌
Raised in Botswana, educated in USA and Australia, too, full international! Even in Zambia she is of mixed cultures and brings the richness from both into her art!

I'm telling you there is something, an energy, a feeling, in black music that is absent when appropriators try to duplicate it and when Black artists connect to the Mainstream they seem to lose it. Can't you feel it? You know what I'm talking about don't you?
"I just want my soul, you just entertainment . So I enter training for that inter changing. I’mma sell you hope, you gon’ enter trading." damn, This aint music for all.
I think i am playing this for the 20th time now... and i don't think i am gonna stop anytime soon. lol! Big up Sampa, you the Great, great SAMPA THE GREAT!!lol!!

*Sampa...damn autocorrect
Proud of you geirl. That stuff sounds neo-soul.
Cause woman can do anything 🤙
High school in Botswana, wow. BW did it again.

Sampa, Koffee and Lauryn Hill now that would be lit.
Yes! 🔥
And oshun
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm ready.
Someone make it happen.
Exactly my thoughts
And TEMS 😊
Her skin against that color 😍😍

Looks like a Jaffa...
Gorgeous
It's the copper colored skin Europeans described when the came 2 Amerikkka, not the so-called people they call natives now

Whooooo! This Zambian talent/beauty. The beauty of Africans and the African diaspora.
YES, she is amazing, love her style!
They made sure they kept her out of America while they fed us mumble rap. I can't find words to express this greatness.
True
Hope y’all have now discovered Little Simz and Yugen Blakrok by now😅
I've learned about Sampa the Great just an hour ago, from the song Final form, I've been on UA-cam since because I'm hooked. She is really amazing.
Mvana Simon , literally just over an hour ago for me
@@domijollof That's how good she is. Look at yourself now, probably looking up her music XD XD
Mvana Simon , oh I’m just listening while I was just showering and been posting her stuff on Facebook since
literally me just now! she’s out of this world! im hooked on her now! 😩
her face when she's rapping is so cute
And The BARS Be So HARRRD🧐🔥🔥🔥🥺😂😂😂
Damn she’s good!!!
I've never seen any artist since Lauryn Hill that unequivocally could hold a candle to her light until SAmpha the Great 💪🏿🔥.
Finally a female rapper with a such deep soul !!! Love this artist she transmits something really deep and so soft....love her
LYRICS
[Intro: Swahili Tanzanian dialect]
As your enemies gather to plan your downfall and setbacks
God shall confuse and dismiss them in seven directions
You shall be blessed seven times more until the blessed call you blessed
[Verse 1]
Bone crushing I'm sweating oh my God
I'm in a game and I just found that I used all nine lives
I paid the price and now I'm feeling I don't own my bars
If they announce it in the news you don't know my number
So please peace nah
Phone sitting in the arena
All black faces they gone figure who we are
Underground railroad trials and troubles too
We gone build these pyramids right up of under you
Run and gaming
Paving way for passion and paining
I just want my soul you just entertainment
So I enter training
For that inter changing
I’mma sell you hope you gon’ enter trading
High pretty
Blind city
Sigh pity
With the flashing lights in check
Add some zeros to the cheque
Cos I'm bleeding bloody rhythms on this beat right here
Bloody blurry baby visions on this beat right here
Replications are impossible
Truth is like the gospel but I'm hardly pentecostal on this beat right here
Black vocals
Black t-shirt
Docs, jeans and a choker
I hardly do flash but I’mma flash my vocals
I hardly do magic but that black girl kosher
I’mma pray for this beat before I kill them culture vultures
[Chorus]
I'm not going to, fall (Ish not petite)
Play me small (Ish not petite)
Lose my soul (Ish not petite)
Be scared no more (Ish not petite)
We've been here all day
I said yes all day
And I ain’t not gonna waste my strength
Standing here all day
You know we here ok
Rhymes to the East
Rhymes beast mother fucker
Tembo from the east put the beast in a trucker
Timbuktu, as I question all the loyalty
Build a big wall when you stole all of the royalties
Trash, It's what you know you don't know
The level of the brain that you're told you can't go
The level of insane that you’re told you can't show
The level of insane that they’re sure that I know
Four million spans ago a waste man
Told me of the limits he thinks that I am
I've moved mountains know that I can
I've healed souls I know that I am
I bleed bled blood
But I breathe bad blood
Badabing breath blood
But I bring black back
Blessed, blow a breeze through my chest
Blessed, And before I forget
Black vocals
Black t-shirt
Docs jeans and a choker
I hardly do flash but Imma flash my vocals
I hardly do magic but that black girl kosher
Imma pray for this beat before I kill them culture vultures
I'm not going to
[Chorus]
I'm not going to, fall (Ish not petite)
Play me small (Ish not petite)
Lose my soul (Ish not petite)
Be scared no more (Ish not petite)
We've been here all day
I said yes all day
And I ain’t not gonna waste my strength
Standing here all day
You know we here ok
Rhymes to the East
[Outro]
Rhymes to the east

One term cane to mind “Black Panther “
tamary tamzin except he came from a kingdom that he rules
tamary tamzin this should be apart of the soundtrack
Shes much too good to be associated with that shitty film
Please ignore the waste man Jester Buddersworth here...
...and use your head people, Tamry was not even referring to the movie.
@@rocker4577 the Black Panther Party not the movie, you complete and utter fool.
Such a brilliant mind and Outstanding talent 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲Zambian Queen
what a cleaan prod
