Sampa the Great has released her brand new single, “Can’t Hold Us”, via Loma Vista Recordings, marking the beginning of a new era for the Zambian musician and rapper. The track is included in EAFC 26 and will be dropped into in-game playlists from today. “Can’t Hold Us” is also accompanied by an official visualizer directed by Iggy London.
“Can’t Hold Us” stands as a declaration of that awakening: a fierce statement of arrival that fuses the raw energy of rock, hip-hop, soul, and Zambian rhythm into a sound that’s entirely her own. “This is the declaration track. I’m saying: I’ve stepped into my power, into my sound, into my purpose. I’ve claimed this thing — Nu Zamrock — as something of my own, something I’m shaping in real time. And in this new form, with this much clarity and drive? You can’t hold us. You can’t stop us. Not anymore.” Radiating confidence and creative freedom, “Can’t Hold Us” captures Sampa’s evolution into an artist fully in command of her voice, her heritage, and her moment.
