LILONGWE: 28 JUNE 2018
Maximum Sentence is hereby announcing the release of "Cry Babies" by VIP To God.
Also known as K-Bonnie, VIP To God on Friday 29 June releases his highly anticipated first single in 2018.
Produced by Venom, "Cry Babies" is a song which summarizes global issues ranging from politics, social-economic to environmental issues.
"I feel like Malawi operates as an island forgetting that we are living in a global village. Often times, we tend to ignore global issues such as economy, politics and environment. I believe artists should express themselves regardless of boundaries," VIP To God explains.
He adds: "This song is non-partisan. I am not targeting any political grouping or individual. I am simply questioning on what basis do we celebrate independence. Are we really independent when Malawi still depends on donor aid? Most Malawians still depend on the culture of handouts. The big man syndrome still affects us. We are not free, we are still not independent."
"Cry Babies" is the first of a series of singles to released before his yet to be titled EP drops this year.
Commenting on name change, he said: "For the past years, I have been fighting drug, alcohol and substance abuse. God has been by my side and we are winning. I believe I am a very important person to God hence the name "VIP TO GOD".
