Artist, Zingo Lingo has issued a rallying call for unity and collaboration among his fellow artists. The 24-year-old said struggles faced during the coronavirus outbreak ought to have been a wake-up call that artists should work together to stay afloat.
“We saw during the hard lockdown, it was very difficult for the industry. And these are things that we need to come together and think of solutions for. How do we deal with something like this, and how do we make sure that no one struggles,” he said.

“There was a lot we planned to do (for 2020), I had something set with Major Pain, that was pretty big. But it wasn’t all bad. I was able to get involved with some charity work. Make contributions here and there so I’m grateful for that,” he revealed.
