Zambian Reggae-Dancehall star, dESH.DUBS releases new single ‘Boombah’ featuring Shimasta

‘Boombah’ is produced by Grammy-nominated Nigerian producer, Benjamz and is a tribute to the ladies who make the world go wild with their curves and moves. Listen here:

Are you ready for the ultimate showdown in Zambian music? Yes? Then you’re in luck! dESH.DUBS returns with another astronomical single featuring the hard-hitting style of compatriot, Shimasta. Titled ‘Boombah’, the new Hip-Hop track highlights the chemistry between the two stars in fast and furious verses that are unbelievably explosive. The cool in dESH.DUBS’s recognizable husky voice and trademark “lazy dope style” nicely blends with the fire in Shimasta’s Bemba-driven lyrics to create a rarity. 

Also worth highlighting is the impressive production from Benjamz, whose nifty integration of bouncy basslines, killer drum patterns and plush saxophone sounds is top-tier. They breathe life into ‘Boombah’, which dESH says explores themes of street life and love: “Boombah is a praise to the ladies whose twisting and twirling makes the world go wild. This new song gives all the encouragement they will need to keep going”. 

By teaming up with Shimasta and Benjamz, dESH.DUBS has found a monumental collaboration in ‘Boombah!’. The track joins his long line of previously released singles: ‘Dubstar’, ‘Luna’ and ‘Moye’ all of which will appear on his highly anticipated full-length project, “Mata-Glap”, set for release sometime in August or September. The album will offer an infectious mix of Reggae, Dubstep, Hip-Hop, Drill, Afrobeat, and Zambezi music. But before then, there is another massive collaboration on the way. dESH.DUBS and compatriot Milz will pacify fans come July 30, 2023, with Mary J – a Reggae tune produced by Victor Gallardo of Spain, while you eagerly await his upcoming album. Anticipate!

‘Boombah’ is a must-listen for fans of Reggae-Dancehall and Hip-Hop. It was mastered by Ivo Statinsk of Statinski Mastering, Amsterdam, Netherlands, with its sound engineering handled by Marcel of MoSound Production, Zoetermeer, Netherlands.
