Diamond Platnumz is clearly making serious moves that are not only making Tanzania and East Africa in general proud but making the entire African continent proud.

Diamond Platnumz’s moves are unprecedented and well-calculated like no other artistes are currently doing today.

His international catalog is already impressive after he working with Ne-Yo, Omarion, and Rick Ross, there’s a high probability that he might work together on a project with either Alicia Keys and/or her husband Swizz Beatz.

Of late Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys have been showing so much love to African music, especially artistes from the WCB(Wasafi Classic Baby) record and management label and they even shared a couple of their(WCB artistes) songs on their social media platforms.

Diamond Platnumz’s manager, Babu Tale real name Hamisi Shaban Taletale might have seen this as a potential business opportunity as he secured a meeting with his top artiste, Diamond Platnumz with the Deans; Swizz Beatz real name Kasseem Dean(also known as The Monster) and Alicia Keys.

Diamond Platnumz who is currently in Los Angeles, California together with his manager Babu Tale got to link up and were already seen in the studio together in the presence of the one and only Bu, who is one powerful musical force.

For the curious lot who don’t know who Bu really is, he is Abou Thiam who answers to Bu has worked with T-Pain who he discovered, worked with Lady Gaga, managed Chris Brown, discovered Jeremih and worked as the Vice President at Def Jam Music Group among many other things with some of the “other things” being that he’s Akon’s brother.

That in consideration, there’s a high chance that Diamond Platnumz might have struck gold by working with Bu who has a catalog of making international hitmakers from nobody and now that Diamond Platnumz is such an African music powerhouse, I could only imagine what Bu could do for him because working with Bu will open doors that nobody thought possible for an African kid from Tandale, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Diamond Platnumz has not given any hints on the project he is working on with Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys but what we are certain is that what’s coming from working with them is nothing but a timeless hit record that will be sung by our great-grandchildren.
