Zambian hip-hop has once again been blessed with raw honesty and lyrical depth as BrokenHill Emmy returns with a powerful new single titled “Ukukula Ni Nchito.” Translating from Bemba to mean “Growing up is work,” the track dives deep into the everyday struggles faced by the youth and the hard truths that come with adulthood in Zambia.
“Ukukula Ni Nchito” is a song that talks about real-life struggles people face as they grow older. It shows how we slowly stop doing the things we enjoyed when we were young because life changes. As we grow up, we take on more responsibilities and face challenges that come with adulthood.
The song also shows the sacrifices parents make for their children. While kids are having fun and enjoying their youth, parents work hard, often staying up late and pushing themselves just to give their families a better life. It’s a powerful reminder that growing up is not easy; it comes with hard work, sleepless nights, and dedication.
