Macky 2 Surprises Fans with Emotional Tribute to Slapdee
Zambian hip-hop legend Macky 2 has dropped a heartfelt track titled “Dear Slapdee”, dedicated to his friend and former rival, Slapdee.
The song reflects on a journey that started with one of Zambia’s most iconic rap rivalries, evolving into mutual respect and brotherhood.
Produced with precision and lyrical depth, this track serves as both a tribute and a reminder of the impact Macky 2 and Slapdee have had on modern Zambian hip-hop culture.
In “Dear Slapdee”, Macky 2 reminisces about the early 2010s when their rivalry fueled their ambition, pushing both artists to raise the bar for Zambian rap. Beyond nostalgia, the song emphasizes the importance of pioneers in the industry – artists who remain visible, mentor upcoming talent, and inspire a new generation. This record not only celebrates their past battles but also underscores the legacy they’ve built together.

“We didn’t just make music… we built foundations. We turned competition into culture. And somewhere along the way, rivalry turned into respect. Respect turned into brotherhood. That’s not just growth.. that’s legacy,” Macky 2 writes.
“Dear Slapdee” is not a song of nostalgia, but a call to purpose – a reminder of the responsibility the OGs carry to keep the dream alive, to show the youth why Zambian music matters, and to keep building even when it gets hard.
This release is more than music – it’s history, culture, and a powerful statement of unity between two of Zambia’s greatest rap exports.
