Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Eddie Black was born Nathaniel Edward Bangira Nchemba on April 29th, 1993, in Itezhi-Tezhi, a small town in the southern province where his mother Catherine Mutinta Nchemba worked as a nurse at the local hospital. \u201cAfter some time, we moved to Lusaka, after my mum passed on, I moved in with my grandparents. My grandma is like my best friend, she is my biggest supporter!\u201d He remembers his first award nomination in 2012 when he was nominated for the Zambian Born and Bred Awards. \u201cMy grandma took me to the salon to get my hair done and she made sure I looked nice for the award show.\u201d<\/p>\n

His love for hip-hop began when he was around the age of eight, \u201cI used to listen to rap music from my uncle we grew up together and he used to listen to a lot of rap music. He had this Walkman and tapes and CDs of Ludacris and Ja Rule that he would let me listen to, that\u2019s how I started rapping. The beauty of him making me listen to the content was that he would censor it for me, for example the song Move by Ludacris\u2026 my version was \u2018move GIRL get out the way.\u2019 That\u2019s how I got into rap, and I\u2019ve been rapping ever since.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eddie Black first appeared on the Zambian music scene in 2011 when he released What\u2019s the Name of the Game after being discovered by Erasto. Later that same year he began working with renowned producer and now longtime collaborator Peezey Cables and launched a smash hit single Bangumfweko.<\/p>\n

The recording studio has always been sanctuary for Eddie, \u201cI think it\u2019s my happy place, where I find peace because there\u2019s so much chaos out there. When I\u2019m in the studio, I feel at home\u2026 I am happiest when I am making music.\u201d His process in the studio has slowly evolved, Eddie shares, \u201cthere was a time when I was inspired by other artists I knew the whole College Dropout album by Kanye West, and Let\u2019s Get It: Thug Motivation 101 by Young Jeezy. I would gather all this content right and I spent every day writing lyrics, based on what I knew.\u201d<\/p>\n
