Photos of the two hugging, hinting at the cooking of another great album, emerged about two months before Lumba's passing.

King Promise, in a social media post, wrote, “I write this with a heavy heart,” his tribute began. “Two months ago, the legend and I decided to work on a joint album together. He stayed away from the public eye but invited me into his home.”
