A few exchanges on WhatsApp and phone calls later, the collective signed with DJ P2N on the compilation <em>SMS For Location Vol. III<\/em> in December 2019. Since then, It has not let go of its new recruit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His meteoric rise is such that this new track &#8220;MUZIKO,&#8221; sung in Swahili by ShikeRebel, is already a popular sound on African dance floors and has garnered hundreds of shazams even before its official release date \u2014 the tracks were first released on Whatsapp groups to DJs as is often the case in the Congo. But the rise doesn&#8217;t stop there since DJ P2N is preparing the release of his first album <em>Evolution of Congo<\/em> under Moonshine, unsurprisingly.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Dj P2N feat ShikeRebel _ Muziko (lyrics officielle)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/O6R6K9JMz8s?start=1&#038;feature=oembed&#038;autoplay=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>\u00ab Muziko \u00bb &#8211; Dj P2N feat ShikeRebel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>From Kinshasa to Lubumbashi, from Lubumbashi to Johannesburg, via Lusaka, the sound of P2N is a perfect symbiosis between Katangese folk music and South African Afro-house. His unique style has earned him praise throughout the DRC and has propelled him overseas thanks to the country&#8217;s extensive diaspora. For the uninitiated, P2N stands for &#8220;Prinnce&#8221; with 2 N\u2019s. His Excellency the \u2018Ambassador of joie de vivre\u2019 in Lubumbashi made his debut in the ranks of the Catholic Church, singing the Lord\u2019s praises before moving his hips. After high school, he pursued serious studies in business management and then in sound engineering, which has come of good use in his music. Inspired by South African giants such as Black Coffee and Da Capo, DJ P2N took advantage of his time in the \u2018rainbow nation\u2019 to refine his art, while performing regularly at Congolese parties in Johannesburg before being spotted by the Moonshine collective. Lubumbashi has got a new prince: his name is DJ P2N.
