BULAWAYO-BORN and Stiff lead singer Diliza’s relationship with his record label, Proper Files is unclear just after the release of his single Ongena Mali.
In 2017, the lyricist said it was great to have been signed under his mentor — Professor’s record label.
“As Stiff, we used the Kalawa studios for our sessions and this is where we met Professor whom we worked closely with over the years.
“Last year, he decided to sign us and it’s been good so far,” said Diliza.
Fast forward to 2019, the relationship with the artiste seemed to be unclear and both parties have remained mum on the issue.
Kalawa Jazmee assistant James Mathenga said he does not know anything about what was happening between the two parties and the right person to comment about that issue was Diliza.
The Stiff front man said he does not know anything because was unwell.
“I don’t know anything regarding that issue (relationship with Proper Files).
As you know I am not feeling well at the moment, I will find out next week about the whole issue,” said Diliza from his Bulawayo base.
Commenting on the new track by Diliza, Mathenga said it was a great song and the artiste was trying to grow as an artiste.
“This is a great track from Diliza. In actual fact that is his kind of style and I am happy for him.
He is trying to grow as an artiste, that is why he has taken a solo route,” he highlighted.
Last month, Diliza released a single titled Ongena Mali which is now available on all digital platforms.
