Holstar – Spirit Of A Champion Featuring Rosah

by Phil Chard

Zambian Holstar just dropped the first single off the album Dreaming In High Definition titled Spirit Of A Champion. The song features the vocals of Rosah formerly known as Young N9ne on the hook. The song opens with the words of Maya Angelou’s poem from her book On The Pulse Of Morning which was made famous when she performed it at Bill Clinton’s inauguration ceremony. The song then closes with an excerpt from Kofi Anan’s exit speech as the UN Secretary General.

Sandwiched in-between the metaphorically rich clips Holstar rhymes raps about his ascendency and struggles over a string laden instrumental courtesy of Zimbabwean born Nigel.
