Slap Dee joined the label in 2021 together with other star-rated Zambian artists among them Mampi, Macky 2 and Nez Long.

A few weeks back, Slap Dee who founded XYZ opened up for the first time on why he left for KMP.

He said during The Zed Podcasts that the company was insolvent which necessitated his move to KMP where he could make good money from his music. At XYZ, things were not easy as the label wasn’t bringing in any money at ball.

His only hope was Daev who was scheduled to release an album which would bring the label money. However, the young vocalist died in September 2020 in a grisly road accident. His death dealt the label a huge blow that banks called Slap Dee constantly threating to close XYZ’s accounts.

King Dizo as he is fondly referred to by his fans said he always paid for his own projects even when at XYZ. Meanwhile, Mubanga explained that some of the artists leaving the label had no contract with KMP. He adds that some of them could not meet demands by the label to keep them on the team.
