ZIM dancehall artists Daddy Yala is set to drop his much anticipated EP dubbed ‘God and Time’ on November 31.
The Chegutu based artist, said the EP is a warning to young people falling to pressures of the world ending up engaging in things that endanger their lives.
The four-tracked project is set to drop along with visuals.
Speaking to H-Metro, Daddy Yala said young people need to understand that God’s time is the best in everything, and they shouldn’t be pressured to doing drugs, theft or rituals to skip the cycle of events in life.
“We are living in a difficult time, and a lot is happening among young people to cope up.
“It’s sad to see them engaging in drugs and other crimes which cut short their lives.
“Time is precious and we must use it wisely. Above all, God’s time is the best and if you wait nothing is impossible,” he said.
He also said the Ep was supposed to be seven-tracked but due to financial constraints he only managed to record four songs.
“Due to insufficient funds I ended up cutting back on the number of songs I initially wanted. I’m grateful regardless because I never gave up on my dream regardless of not having enough resources,” he said.
Daddy Yala also said he worked with fellow dancehall artist, Hwinza which he explained as a dream come true.
“I saw Hwinza as a hardworking artist who works very harder especially when collaborating with upcoming artist like me.
“I had to look for him to assist me. After listening to my other songs he accepted to work with me.
“We worked very well with each other and he taught me a lot about how to navigate the Zim dancehall industry and it is humbling indeed,” he said.
