Yo Maps and JK have teamed up on a new celebratory anthem called “More,” released through Olios Records. The record arrives with political weight attached. It follows President Hakainde Hichilema’s re-election after Zambia’s August 13 vote, where he took roughly 60% of the presidential ballot against challenger Brian Mundubile. So this is not your regular drop. It lands at a moment of national significance, and both artists leaned into that timing deliberately.
Yo Maps has described the song as a congratulatory message from Olios Records to Hichilema, with the label hoping his leadership keeps pushing progress, unity and prosperity for Zambians. In a country with a strong tradition of politically engaged music, that kind of formal backing carries meaning beyond the melody.
The pairing itself is worth noting. Yo Maps represents the contemporary Afro-pop sound ruling Zambia’s streaming charts right now, while JK — Jordan Katembula — brings years of veteran credibility and a different generational voice. Together they bridge two eras of Zambian music history around a shared political stance. That cross-generational solidarity gives the collaboration extra depth, adding another notable entry to Zambia’s growing catalog of politically themed songs.
Stream “More” and decide for yourself whether this dedication hits the right note.
