Muli bwanji, I just want to take a moment to celebrate with you Faded just hit 50,000 streams on Spotify.

This one hits different because honestly… I never even planned on releasing this song. It was too personal, too raw. But the way you’ve connected with it, streamed it, shared it, and made it a part of your own story that’s beyond anything I could’ve imagined.

From Zed 🇿🇲 to the world, thank you for proving that honesty in music still matters. 🙏🏾❤️

You were born for greatness and never a copy.
