Rapper Third Eye, real name Mandela Mwanza, plans to drop a mixtape and 13th album later this year despite announcing in the past years that he was done with music.
But he said on Monday that he will always be in music, hence bringing a mixtape titled Landing in America, which is a follow-up to his 2012 mixtape Coming to America to be released on September 11 2023.
He further said that he would release his 13th album titled More Joseph than Jesus on his 39th birthday on November 1 2023.

“The mixtape took me a week to write and I recorded it sometime back in March this year. It has 10 songs. The mixtape comprises of covers of popular American hip- hop songs,” the rapper said.

He said the two projects have been produced by Dominant One.
Third Eye also said that he would be releasing a documentary titled Becoming on October 2023 as part of his Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Initiative which he would be launching at Bingu International Conference Centre (BICC) in Lilongwe on October 7 2023 together with Malawi University of Science and Technology (Must) Orchestra.
The artist is also set to tour schools and colleges as well as other places with the orchestra.
“It is important to talk about mental health and suicide because most of us, artists, around the world always try to paint an illusion that we are immune to mental health problems and suicide but, honestly, I struggle from the same issues my fans go through,” he said.
