Tanzanian Singeli producer and artist Adasco M2 M’bad reunites with Munta Dee and brings Buda Zoni into the mix on “Sukuma,” and the record carries real emotional weight alongside its fast-paced energy.
The standout line says everything about where the record lives – “Moyo sukuma damu si vingine, moyo usidanganywe na vingine.” Translated roughly as “Heart, pump blood and nothing else, heart do not be deceived by other things,” the writing speaks directly to resilience and staying true to your own course regardless of external pressure. That kind of specific, quotable Swahili writing is what makes a street record travel beyond its immediate audience.
“Sukuma” means “push” in Swahili – and both the title and the writing carry that forward momentum throughout. Adasco M2 M’bad and Munta Dee already proved their chemistry on “Zoba” and “Yah Ramadhan.” So this reunion does not need a warm-up period. Both artists step in already knowing each other’s rhythm. Buda Zoni adds a third dimension that gives the collaboration variety without disrupting the record’s momentum.
The Singeli production framework stays tight and purposeful throughout. Rapid percussion and precise rhythmic patterns drive the energy forward without losing the emotional texture the writing demands. So the record works both as a street anthem and as something with genuine feeling underneath.
Adasco M2 M’bad’s 2026 run – “Niite” with Msomali Vitamin, “Mapenzi” with Sele Minamba, “Naogopa” with Malove Khan, Sunny Voice and Lody Music, and now “Sukuma” – shows an artist building a consistently strong Singeli catalogue.
