· Leave a comment ·

Naseeb Abdul Juma Issack, widely recognized as Diamond Platnumz, is a prominent Tanzanian artist, showcasing his talents as a singer, songwriter, dancer, and entrepreneur. He emerged from the streets of Tandale to establish himself as one of Africa’s leading music export brands. As the founder and CEO of WCB Wasafi, his musical repertoire encompasses Bongo Flava, Afro-pop, Afrobeats, R&B, and more.

In the track “Sasampa,” Diamond Platnumz presents a vibrant, cross-continental collaboration that connects the musical styles of East and South Africa. This song features contributions from Focalistic, Uncool MC, Silas Africa, and Xduppy, and is already being categorized under Amapiano, indicating a direction that is friendly to dancefloors and clubs.

The term “Sasampa” in Swahili slang translates to “Hela“, “Pesa“, or “Money” (particularly in the context of wealth or abundance). The song is unapologetically celebratory, with “Sasampa” signifying “money overflowing.”

The lyrics inspire listeners to invest, express love, and enjoy life, emphasizing that if one wishes to indulge, for instance, “kama unataka warembo tia hela, usipeleke maua,” then demonstrating real wealth is the essential language to communicate.
