Aqualaskin Returns with a Statement Single — “Munkonka”
Zambian hit-maker Aqualaskin is back on the scene with a powerful new release titled “Munkonka”, marking his first official drop of the month. Known for his raw energy and genre-blending style, Aqualaskin delivers yet another banger — this time, with a message of leadership, resilience, and forward motion.
A Rough Road, A Real Comeback
Aqualaskin’s journey in music has been anything but easy. He burst onto the Zambian music scene with chart-topping singles like “Msimbi” and “Tidwale”, gaining a massive following and solidifying his place as one of Zambia’s most exciting young talents. However, his rise was met with personal challenges that played out in the public eye — from private struggles to moments of betrayal by close friends.
The pressure took its toll. At times, Aqualaskin would drop incredible music only to delete it shortly after — not due to quality, but because of internal battles and mental health struggles. Despite this, his passion for music remained.
Now Signed to ZedArts Records
In a move that signaled a fresh chapter, Aqualaskin recently signed to ZedArts Records, joining forces with another rising star, Natasha Chansa. The partnership hints at renewed focus and creative freedom — and “Munkonka” is proof of that.
About the Song – “Munkonka”
Munkonka is a Tonga word that translates to “Follow me” — a fitting title for a track that positions Aqualaskin as a leader reclaiming his path. Produced by the talented team at Blackout Media, the track blends hard-hitting beats with a smooth flow that highlights Aqualaskin’s signature sound and lyrical depth. It’s a call to action — for fans, doubters, and fellow artists alike.
