Zambian rap heavyweight Drifta Trek teams up with Frank Ro on “Plus One,” a romantic pre-album single building anticipation for his upcoming “Unfinished Business” project.
The record explores a straightforward but resonant concept – having that one special person you want by your side through everything. Drifta Trek does not wrap the emotion in complicated writing. He brings his signature heartfelt storytelling directly to the subject, which is exactly the approach this kind of love record needs to connect with a wide audience rather than just his core hip-hop fanbase.
Produced by Smash and C Mark On The Tracks under The Fire Department Entertainment, the production sits warm and smooth underneath the collaboration. Frank Ro’s melodic vocal contribution is what gives “Plus One” its emotional texture. His signature delivery complements Drifta Trek’s rap sections without competing for the record’s emotional centre. So the two artists share the song cleanly – neither overshadows the other.
The official music video directed by Lanzee Cooper gives the record a full visual rollout that takes the romantic concept beyond just the audio. Because a love record that also looks the part travels further than one that stays audio-only – and “Plus One” clearly came with that full package in mind.
For fans who have followed Drifta Trek since his earlier work, this record shows the full range of an artist who can move between gritty Zambian hip-hop and warm romantic territory without sounding like two different people. “Unfinished Business” is shaping up to be a complete project.
