Zambian artist Drifta Trek links up with HD Empire, DBwoy Telem and King Illest on “Bally Awina,” an upbeat victory anthem produced by Dre. The track blends traditional rhythms with modern trap production, celebrating the recent UPND election victory.
This one didn’t need long to catch on either. It picked up hundreds of thousands of streams within hours, quickly becoming a fixture in local bars and public transport around the country. Bringing four established names together on one record already signals how much weight this moment carries for everyone involved.
His pacing stays energetic, matching the excitement clearly running through the whole collaboration. He treats the moment with real enthusiasm rather than going through the motions.
HD Empire, DBwoy Telem and King Illest then trade off across the record, each bringing their own flavor to the shared celebration. Their combined chemistry keeps the track feeling unified despite four distinct voices sharing space. Together, they touch on democracy, national unity and continuity, turning a political outcome into a genuinely communal anthem.
“Bally Awina” works because all four artists commit fully to that celebratory unity. The energy never dips across the whole runtime. It plays like a snapshot of a country’s shared excitement, set to a beat built for the streets.
