Big Zulu has confirmed that the Nkabi Nation Father and Daughter EP will officially be released on 10 October, a project already stirring excitement with its heartfelt premise and personal touches. The rapper shared the news with a teaser video featuring his daughter Nkabikazi Nene showcasing her voice, marking the start of her musical debut.
The announcement follows weeks of subtle hints and behind-the-scenes glimpses. In one candid moment, almost mid-embrace, Big Zulu shifted from warmth to business, revealing that the project had been wrapped and sent for mixing at Studio Stallion. The revelation painted a vivid picture: not just an artist preparing for a release, but a father balancing industry deadlines with family ties. His daughter, he explained, has been trailing him closely, even during visits to the hostels where he engages with crowds. It was clear that her presence is not just at home but has become part of his public and creative world.
Earlier on, Big Zulu had shared a studio clip that gave further context to the journey behind this EP. The footage showed him gently coaching Nkabikazi, urging her to sing with intention and reminding her that music has to reach people’s hearts. His encouragement carried both discipline and affection, as he told her she was progressing well. The clip closed with Zulu hinting at the timing, saying the Nkabi Nation EP would soon arrive once Nkabikazi was fully ready. It was a proud father’s nudge, delivered with the confidence of someone who knows the stage is waiting.
Now, with the release date confirmed, the project is shaping up to be a significant moment for Nkabi Nation. The EP highlights the relationship between father and daughter in a way that feels both intimate and celebratory, with Big Zulu guiding his child’s first steps into music while keeping the core essence of his brand intact.
The teaser that accompanied the announcement captured his daughter’s voice in its raw form, signalling her potential and offering audiences a first taste of what the project holds. It was a carefully chosen preview—enough to spark anticipation but still leaving the full experience to be discovered in October.
With Studio Stallion finalising the mixing and Big Zulu making sure the finishing touches are in place, the countdown is officially underway. The Father and Daughter EP arrives 10 October, carrying with it not only music but a story of collaboration rooted in family and artistry.
