Asked why he chose the Jenny Msonza Foundation as the charity endorse on such a scale, Drum Dada said that as much as it is a young charity organization, I feel they have project, which are very tangible and actually assist the needy in the Zimbabwean community. I was drawn to the charity by their efforts to help the Mututa family raise bereavement funds after the deaths of their family members. I spoke to my label and management team about this idea and they set it all up for me. The single is now available to buy via GooglePlay and will be released via Itunes and Amazon on the 10th February 2014 . The GooglePlay download link is as follows:

Drum Dada is currently working on the final stages for the release of his debut album which will carry the title “Tales of A Ghetto Child”. The album will consist of top quality productions and collaborations from both Zimbabwean and international producers and artists from in and outside his genre.
The album will see collaborations with UK based reggae artist Mathius Julius, UK based rappers Nash Daddie and Brian Major, South African based artist Yottie-Bie, Zim Hip Hop Award recipient rapper and producer Mcknife, songstress Mod-A-Star, Azel, just to mention a few. Producers who have worked in the album include UK based Jusa Dementor, Jamaican based producer Cutty Ranks, Canadian based producer Zimbirds, Zimbabwean based producers include DJ Fidelis, Chashlibs, Layaan, DollaGettaz just to mention a few.
With this album Drum Dada said, he endeavoured to take his fans and music lovers on a musical journey, which they can relate to from an everyday life to a musical perspective. The album will address topics, which affect every human despite of class, race & religion. Some of my songs will talk about love, religion infidelities, hate, jealous & envy, everyday struggles & triumphs of an ordinary Zimbabwe person including topics which are deemed as taboo subjects to address through a musical medium. Songs such as Tariro, which is a prayer for the nation of Zimbabwe, Madzimai, a song which touches on the subject of church leaders who sexually abuse their female congregants, Moyo Wangu, a love letter which features UK based based artist Nash Daddie, are among the song which can be found the 32 tracked double album which is due for release at the end of February 2014.
Drum dada was quoted saying “I know my music might not be everyone’s cup of tea but I wish to inspire and touch people’s life with this project. I am very confident that there will be at least one song from this album, which will tickle each, and everyone’s fancy even those who do not like my musical style. If my songs inspire just one person to elevate themselves of their lowest point into a new chapter where they can see a brighter future or have a better mindset of their surroundings, my album would have served its purpose”.
The release of the album will also launch the birth of his apparel line called the “Ivories”. The clothing line is inspired by my totem and signature adlib “Elephants Ah Buggah”
