THE name Joe “Local” Nyamungoma evokes different meanings for different people, particularly in showbiz. His newly released music project “Common Sense” has captured the attention of many music lovers. The three-track mini-album features the standout song “Mr Plan”, which is making waves on national radio. Beyond radio, it has become a staple among cross-border bus crews, who now include it as a regular feature on their playlists. What makes “Mr Plan” particularly intriguing is not only its captivating beat — delivered through varying yet carefully calculated tempos — but also its thought-provoking and satirical message. In the song, Nyamungoma raises a profound question on why the world’s brightest minds — engineers, medical doctors, artistes and others — fail to find a way to communicate back to the land of the living after departing this world? He humorously questions whether the afterlife is simply “so comfortable” that they forget the loved ones they left behind.
lack of originality and creativity is undeniably a growing issue harming the local creative sector. The situation is so dire that we may be on the verge of normalising this trend. While it may be uncomfortable to label someone a copycat, the increase in creatives imitating or replicating the behaviours, styles, and ideas of others has reached alarming levels. Historically, this problem was prevalent in the music industry, but it has now spread to other fields, including spoken word, film, television, dance, and even visual arts. This troubling trend promotes imitation over originality, effectively stifling the creative sector. While new talents continue to emerge, many lose their unique vision as the influence of the digital landscape dominates the industry. Some creatives who had bright futures have lost their way through imitation.
Entertainment pundit MC Portfolio has expressed concerns over being labeled a "traitor" by fans of dancehall musicians Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale. In an interview with Zionfelix on January 21, 2025, MC Portfolio stated that Stonebwoy has no authority to restrict his association with Shatta Wale unless he employs him. When asked by Zionfelix if he would honour an invitation from Shatta Wale, MC Portfolio explained that the “Jejereje” hitmaker could only impose restrictions if he had hired him as a full-time member of his team. “I think Stonebwoy can restrict me only if he puts me on his payroll and employs me as someone tasked with promoting the Bhim Nation agenda. But I have volunteered because that gentleman has shown me love. So, it’s not about money. I have volunteered to reciprocate the same energy. He hasn’t put me on payroll, and I don’t work for Bhim Nation,” he stated.
