Dominant 1

With the game being so industry-driven, good hip hop is hard to come by.This Malawian raised emcee/producer refuses to be part of this craze they now call 'hip hop' and thus at an early age set out to make it right.

His emcee style is a mixture of old school and 'true' school. He sounds like old school LL Cool J with a Tribe Called Quest flow added to remarkable lyrical content.

Dominant One is influenced by the likes of Pete Rock, Dj Premier, the late J. Dilla, Dj Hi-tek, Just Blaze and R.Z.A of Wu-Tang Clan as far as production goes. He has a set individual style of production through which his versatility culminates in a hybrid he has coined 'ILL-Ectric Soul'.

Amaravi Records), Marvel (formerly of Real Elements), the Zambian prodigy C4 the Bomb, K.R.T, Lulu, Sally Nyundo,Kananji (Formerly Rising Sun), Gospel, Wisdom Chitedze, Manyanda, Kwame, Third Eye, Cris Mack, the Chosen One,Tay Grin,Biriwri,Incyt,LadyX,David Kalilani(formerly Real Elements),L.Planet,M.Way,Jinx the Muna, to mention but a few.
