Sampa The Great: “Energy”
Sampa the Great (born Sampa Tembo) is a Zambian-born MC currently based in Melbourne, Australia. Still young in her career, Tembo has thus far released a couple of mixtape (the most recent of which is last year’s Birds and the BEE9). Her debut full length studio album was slated for some time in 2018 but since that is looking less and less likely, hopefully it will land early in the new year. Tembo did release single from it recently, “Energy,” a fantastic feminine-centric rap that showcases both Tembo’s wordplay as well as her force of personality (which is substantial). Stream the single below or check out the video here.
