History
editThe website was launched on 10 May 2011 by Philip Mutika, who maintained it as a personal blog site. The website was brought down in 2012 due to high traffic when it shared a link to Mampi's song. The website was later reopened in 2013 on a new domain zambianmusicblog.co (without the final "m" on the end of the URL). After reopening on a new domain the website returned its status after they posted JK's song "Paduze". JK shared the link to his song from the website, and two months later it got its original status back.[5]
In 2015 Petersen Zagaze e-mailed the website asking that they remove all of his music content from the website, one month to the release of his King Solomon album.[6]
