🎵 Out Now: ”Isimo” by LusiBlaq ft. Sphura the MasteR — available on all digital platforms.

In Isimo, LusiBlaq pours his soul onto the page, turning his pain into heartfelt melodies and hymns. Every line is a glimpse into his inner world — a world weighed down, yet still holding onto fragile hope.

Imagine waking up every day with nothing but the belief that maybe, if you try one more time, things could get better. But isimo sinzima — so heavy that you begin to question God’s plan for your life, your place in this world. You shout for help, yet no one seems to hear. Life feels like a dream you no longer believe in.

This song is for anyone who’s been there — for those carrying silent battles and unanswered prayers. Give Isimo an ear, share it with someone who might relate, and perhaps, in its honesty, they’ll find a piece of healing.

HOW TO MAKE A TRENDY SONG

Making a trendy song doesn't have a straight formula but there are things you can do to increase it's chances to make it through the charts.

1. Identify Current Trends

Analyze charts & playlists – Study Billboard, Spotify Viral 50, Apple Music, and TikTok trends.

Follow industry influencers – Keep an eye on producers, artists, and A&Rs on social media.

Observe popular genres & sounds – See what styles, BPMs, and vibes are dominating.

2. Choose a Unique but Relatable Theme

Emotional Connection – Songs about love, success, heartbreak, or motivation tend to resonate.

Cultural Relevance – Use slang, phrases, or references that are trending.

Simplicity is Key – Viral songs often have easy-to-remember hooks and lyrics.

3. Create a Catchy Hook & Melody

Repetition Works – Think of viral hooks like “Old Town Road” or “Savage Love” or even the catchy tags of abo "hey wena marn."

Melody Matters – Catchy and simple melodies tend to stick in people’s heads.

Use Call & Response – Engaging the audience increases replay value.

4. Leverage Trending Sounds & Production Techniques

Current Sound Selection – Use popular drum patterns, synths, and basslines that match current hits.

Mix Genres – Genre-blending is popular (Afrobeats + Hip-Hop, EDM + Trap, etc.).

Keep It Short & Engaging – Songs under 3 minutes work best for streaming and social media.

5. Get the Right Feature (If Needed)

Collab with Emerging or Established Artists – Features can boost visibility.

Think About Market Reach – A strategic feature can tap into a new audience.

6. Optimize for Virality on Social Media

TikTok & Instagram Reels – Create a dance challenge, meme, or relatable trend.

Tease Before Release – Build hype by dropping snippets and engaging fans.

Encourage UGC (User-Generated Content) – Make it easy for people to use your song in videos.

7. Promote Smartly & Use Playlists
