Zimbabwean born Edinburgh based artist Sean Focus creates a fresh new track with London based Afrobeats artist Dizzy VC with their new release “Bla Bla“.
Kondwani Mapemba, popularly known by his stage name, Sean Focus is a Zimbabwean, Edinburgh based artist, sound engineer and producer.
He popularly made his name in the Malawian music industry as a member of the former rap group, Team Gypsy, made up of three producers and two songwriters. The members included; Sean Focus, Bagpac, Yesaya, BoiMagic and Ms Gypsy, led by co-founder Theo Thomson. He went on to release songs such as “Nono” featuring Metamore, “Malizz Me”, “Just You And Me”, “Till I’m Gone” featuring Trappa & David Rock, and banded with other well-known acts like Theo Thomson, Rina, Tay Grin and AyCee, before having to move to the UK for voyaging, where then he became an independent artist and started to release his own music under his start-up label Imvaize.
Fast forward a few years, the Scotland based rapper has since been making some serious grime on the UK rap scene getting his name known.
The song “Bla Bla” came from the fact Sean Focus doesn’t like bragging; he says “I don’t have no Gucci or Prada so it’s more of acknowledging up to who you really are. Whereas Dizzy on the other hand has Gucci & Prada so it’s like yin and yang”.
“This track came about while I was in London. I made a rhythm and sent it to Dizzy. I’ve been looking for a way to join our sounds over the years. I wouldn’t say it was a motivation, it was more like a joint innovation. I started buzzing, Dizzy put one word, it grew from there”, Sean clarifies.
Bla Bla we hope reminds people of bouncy music you can feel. We see big things for this track
Sean Focus persists to be laboriously supported by BBC 1Xtra, Apple Music Radio, Capital Xtra and BBC Introducing with tastemakers DJ Target, Kenny Allstar and Charlie Sloth sustaining all his releases.
