As Above So Below (Red Vinyl)
Relocating from Australia to Zambia during the pandemic, award-winning hip-hop star Sampa The Great wrote her second studio album. ‘As Above, So Below’ thematically presents the listener with a duality within Sampa’s spirit - the outward-facing public persona and her private self - in this literate, heartfelt recounting of her experiences growing up in Africa.

Release date:
This process of discovery would become the gateway to revealing her highest version of self. Choosing to collaborate with creatives Rochelle Nembhard and Imraan Christian from South Africa, 'As Above, So Below' introduces us to a 360 Sampa, unveiling her many sides for the first time. From the funny to the serious to the sensual, 'As Above' is Sampa outside's self, and 'So Below', is the Sampa within, together uniting to reveal the most authentic version of Sampa, without a mask, or role to play. 'As Above, So Below' is anchored by spoken word in Bemba. The record delves into Sampa's memories of Africa, Africa's relationship to the world and what womanhood in Africa means to the world. We are also introduced to the persona of Eve, the highest version of Sampa that speaks to all facets of her womanhood. The musical styles of 'As Above, So Below' reflect the hybridity of Sampa's upbringing.
