The main message for the day will be “Say no to drugs.”
Captain ZED who recently released a 13-track album titled Sometimes, believes it is the youths that can help curb the scourge through positive behaviour.
“This will be my first real show and I look forward to the day as we have set it for independence day so that we ride on the celebratory mood of the fans,” he said.
Kaptain ZED has released a number of singles over the years but had not made significant impact owing to lack of marketing and appreciation of music in Dete.
He believes the time for him to make a name. is now.

His music is filled with infectious beats, catchy hooks, and meaningful messages that are both uplifting and thought-provoking.
“As a new artist, Kaptain ZED is just getting started on his journey to success, but he has already made significant strides in the music industry, I appeal to my fans and everyone in Dete and surrounding areas to come out in numbers and support this initiative for the betterment of our society,” said Kaptain ZED.
