Macky 2 – Dear Slap Dee (Music Video)
Macky 2 returns with a heartfelt and powerful track, Dear Slap Dee, a song that goes beyond music to touch the very foundation of Zambian hip-hop culture. The visuals bring out the weight of his message, reminding us of the journey, the rivalry, the respect, and ultimately the brotherhood that shaped the industry.
The song feels like a letter raw, reflective, and deeply personal. Macky 2 addresses his longtime counterpart and former rival, Slap Dee, looking back at the early 2010s when Zambian hip-hop was still carving its identity. He reflects on the noise, the battles, and the hunger they both had in their early 20s. They were rivals, yes, but they were also the pioneers. Together, they built a culture that has stood the test of time.
In his verses, Macky 2 acknowledges how things have changed. The fire that once pushed them to outshine each other has transformed into something greater a responsibility. He admits that priorities shift and the industry evolves, but the need for the voices of those who built the movement remains. The new generation, he warns, must never forget the shoulders they stand on.
Dear Slap Dee is not about glorifying the past. It is about grounding the present and shaping the future. Macky 2 makes it clear that Zambian music still needs Slap Dee not as the hungry young rapper chasing hits, but as the seasoned legend who knows the cracks, the lessons, and the weight of responsibility that comes with legacy.
The song carries a call to action. It’s not about chasing old hunger but reigniting old purpose. Macky 2 urges his brother in music to remain visible, to mentor, to create, and to continue reminding fans and young artists why this culture matters. Their duty is bigger than themselves it’s about sustaining the dream they once fought for.
With heartfelt delivery and moving visuals, Macky 2 shows that hip-hop in Zambia is more than competition. It’s about legacy, brotherhood, and responsibility.
Respect is the heartbeat of this track. And Macky 2 signs off in the most fitting way: We built this.
