B-Face has fired back at Big Fizzo with a long-form diss track titled “Sokwe” that’s almost ten minutes long. This one by Jigger Beat leaves no room for imagination.
The conflict between B-Face and Big Fizzo has been brewing for a time now, and “Sokwe” comes as his direct response to Fizzo’s previous tune “Niruze. B-Face does not dance around the problem but instead goes straight for confrontation for the full length. The sheer length of the piece shows just how much he wanted to say
The production is aggressive and combative throughout, and is created to match the ferocity of the lyrics. Nobody here is letting up on energy. Jigger Beat provides the record enough weight to carry a diss track this long without losing momentum.
B-Face goes first with a harsh and persistent delivery as if every phrase is directed at Fizzo. It reads like a real long form response to a rivalry that is obviously personal.
“Sokwe” works because B-Face really commits to that persistent, combative intensity for the entire runtime. There’s nothing padded or half-hearted about its length. Sounds like a real statement in a continuing Zambian music competition.
