Zambian rapper Muzo Aka Alphonso brings a deep and personal side of his music with “Ucili.” The Bemba rap song mixes strong street sounds with lyrics about memories, relationships, and the fear of being forgotten.
Muzo uses the song to ask an important question: does someone still remember you after time has passed? This feeling comes through in the Bemba line, “Bushe Walindaba olo Ucili Ulanjibukisha,” which asks, “Have you forgotten me, or do you still remember me?”
The song gives Muzo space to express his thoughts in his own style. His delivery is direct, fast, and full of emotion. He also uses simple but meaningful lines to tell a story that many listeners can relate to.
“Ucili” was produced by Maseleti Pangoma and California, who provide a steady beat that supports Muzo’s rap without taking attention away from the message.
The record also shows why Muzo Aka Alphonso remains an important name in Zambian hip-hop. His use of the Bemba language, personal writing, and strong rap delivery gives the song its own identity.
If you enjoy Zambian hip-hop, Bemba rap, and songs with a personal message, “Ucili” is a track worth checking out.
