Urban Music People (UMP) cyphers come back to the fold this year having last been held in 2020 alongside awards.
Cyphers are a further part of UMP Festival and are set to enrich the 2024 edition dubbed The Evolution to be held at Cape Maclear in Mangochi from October 25 to 28.
UMP Festival spokesperson Marie Thom said yesterday that the cyphers have been organised in a bid to promote budding talents and strengthen engagement with university student bodies.
She said that Chitoliro Productionz has revived the UMP university/ college cyphers across the country.
Thom said the universities and colleges earmarked to feature on UMP 2024 cyphers include Mzuzu University (Mzuni), Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences (Mubas), Malawi University of Science and Technology (Must), University of Malawi (Unima), Blantyre International University (BIU), Malawi College of Accountancy (MCA), Catholic University of Malawi, University of Livingstonia, DMI, Magu, Natural Resources College (NRC) and Kamuzu University of Health Sciences (Kuhes).

“Must and Unima cyphers are ready and will be officially published on both Chitoliro Productionz and UMP online as well as social media platforms,” she said.
Meanwhile, the universities and colleges have since hailed Chitoliro Productionz for reviving the cyphers.
Some household names who have participated in previous UMP cyphers include Malinga, Liwu, Mista Gray and Macelba.
