Ruff Kid ft Emtee

Ruff Kid is stepping up in his game this year and his new hit ‘Banja’ featuring South African rapper Emtee is worth talking about. What’s intriguing about this new development is that Ruff Kid spent a fortune on the song’s music video. While speaking to Power FM, he revealed that ‘Banja’ cost him K200,000 ($12,000). ‘Banja’ is a Zambian word that loosely translates to family. The song’s theme is centered around the love, dedication and sacrifices for a family.
