United Kingdom -based rapper Lavida Loca, who left the country at the age of two, is back to reconnect with home.
The artist, who has two Extended Playlists (EPs) to her credit namely 2 Sides and Just Bcoz said Thursday she is exploring options and thinking about what life could look like for her if she were to stay.
“I am at a point in my life where I am ready for a new chapter. This is not just about visiting for a short period of time but rather being back has given me the opportunity to experience Malawi in a completely different way,” Lavida said.
She went on to say that she is taking her time to see where she could fit in, both personally and professionally.
“I am currently working on a small project that I am really excited about. Sonically, it is different from anything people have heard from me before,” Lavida said.

She said she wants to explore more of her African identity through music and that her project will be directed towards “my Malawian audience”.
“It will have a strong African influence within the production. I am also looking forward to collaborating with some amazing African artists, so, there are definitely some exciting features in the works. I do not want to give too much away just yet,” Lavida said.
She also said that she is currently looking at opportunities to perform while she is here and that she would like to connect with the country’s scene properly.
“As indicated, I am excited about the possibility of bringing what I have built musically in the UK back home and creating something that feels authentic to both sides of my identity,” she said.
