 This year’s event will feature Rhumba maestro, KANDA BONGOMAN; Zambia’s Kora All Africa Music Award Nominee, TY2; and Zambia’s own King of Hip-Hop, C.R.I.$.I.$. as well as other up and coming young Zambian performing artists.
The star-studded event will begin with a three course Christmas Dinner (with a Zambian touch), in the presence of the Zambian High Commissioner to the UK - His Excellency, Mr Anderson Chibwa and Mrs Chibwa. Miss Zambia UK Beauty Pageant celebrates the beauty of every Zambian woman and is dedicated to the memory of all Zambian women who have died of HIV/AIDS and a percentage of the proceeds is donated to charities for HIV/AIDS orphans in Zambia. The Pageant is also an innovative PR campaign which provides a golden opportunity to profile Zambia and its people, as well as Zambian tourism and investment opportunities to a diverse international audience. C.R.I.$.I.$. says that he is more than happy to perform at this years event as it is beneficial to the needy children in Zambia. This marks the second time that C.R.I.$.I.$. has been invited by Perryfield Promotions in aid of Charities in Zambia. “I am great supporter of Mama Kankasa’s Kalingalinga Orphanage so; this is close to home and what is in my heart. I love to do Charity work and I am also a supporter of The Breakthrough Cancer Trust” says the rapper. This year’s event will feature Rhumba maestro, KANDA BONGOMAN; Zambia’s Kora All Africa Music Award Nominee, TY2; and Zambia’s own King of Hip-Hop, C.R.I.$.I.$. as well as other up and coming young Zambian performing artists. For more information about C.R.I.$.I.$. go to: www.myspace.com/06crisis06 If you go to the above mentined website, you will get a free download of a X-Mas song which C.R.I.$.I.$. has recorded with ‘Judge’ called “It’s Not a Merry X-Mas.” C.R.I.$.I.$. also says; “This is the festive season and it’s about giving. The song talks about sharing and having compassion for the needy in our society.”

Wat do you mean? That is the reason why we don't develop in Zambia. You want everybody to sound like your favourite record.
Anyway. some of us are in London and we're actually just paying to see C.R.I.$.I.$. perform. You don't like it but you can't make my buying decision. I will support progressive artists like him. Good luck with your hopes of one genre of music... kwati ni-one world Government. Yaba!!! report abuse

Just thought that I'd say:
Aint it funny that people who actually didnt attend this show are the one's that talk the most. I was there and I must say, CRISIS's performance was probably the best of the night. Go CRISIS! If CRISIS was doing nothing, we wouldnt talk about him. I dont see anything wrong with a young man who has a passion to be on the Billboard charts with everybody else. Infact, his performance was a surprise to me as I expected less but, got more. I've seen other big artists from the States perform and some of them weren't as good as crisis. report abuse

I've never heard him talk about Brooklyn in his raps but, I've heard him talk about Lusaka alot. Have you actually listened to his music or are you just being YOU? And you said you were who?

Actually I think C.R.I.$.I.$ is a great rapper and an excellent performer.
I respect his professionalism, work ethic and above all his respect for other people. Just because his style is American does not necessarily make him any lesser of an artist than JK (another great artist) or any of the other Zambian artists that would rather sick to a more "Zambianistic" genre of music. Let us be happy for one another and support one another as opposed to constantly putting each other down just because some of us choose to think outside the box. report abuse

Music is aabout keeping it real and having known C.R.I.$.I.$ personally for over a decade I am quick to say he raps from the heart. There is more realism in his lyrics than there is in some of the guys who are popular in Zambia and sing in Zambian languages. When he speaks of his family situation or about his son etc - he tells it as it is... baring heart and soul. Incidentally his song "Keeping it Real" from his Officer in Charge album has been playing in my mind this past week. He is blessed with interlect and superb talent. Respec'.

The artist is the one. I have never met an artist who is so humble in Zambia and beleive me I have met them all especially with the level of talent he exhibits, he is not a fake, he is the real deal. Its sad that people with little talent(runnel) have actually managed to sip through our radio waves and they think they are mega stars with massive talent. This guy does not blow his own horn but rather just does his thing and the rest is up to you and I will tell one thing, you not be disappointed. Chisenga U\'re the Man( ba Mwine)

Crisis has great talent yes..but the problem with him and most zambian artists,he doesnt put out enough music. they guys get some fame...make a little money,do a couple of badly directed videos and get contented..they get too comfortable.
by the way peep my blog to download promo zed beats. www.deejaywolf.blogspot.com report abuse
