“Diamond is my colleague and it is a great honour for an artist as prolific as Diamond. I also love his music, and he inspires me in so many ways, as a musician, as a businessman, his attitude. He is a necessary artist in this country.
In February, the two artists teased a collaboration of Bien’s popular song Inauma.
A video shared by Sam Misago showed Diamond Platnumz and Bien together in the studio, grooving to the track “Inauma”.
The footage captured a moment when someone in the studio inquired about the possibility of the duo releasing a remix of the song soon.
The forthcoming song will serve as a significant collaboration between Diamond Platnumz and a Kenyan artist, marking their first joint project in seven years.
Diamond Platnumz was featured by Akothee on the track ‘Sweet Love’ back in 2015.
