Two singles--
Wandichosa and
Tingololerana in which he features Nepman and Kevin Sings and Angie, respectively are already out and are since enjoying air time in most radio stations.
"I want to reach out to my fans through this pre-launch show and accord an opportunity to listen and appreciate the some of the songs before the official launch in October.
"They should foretaste the album before it hits the market and this will also help us identify areas needing some panel beating," BarryOne, a pioneer of hip hop in the country.
He released his first album 'Tionana' in 2006, followed by 'Legendary' in 2010 while 'Footprint' album was released in 2013.
The artist has also worked with several hip hop groups including the Daredevils and the Basement.
Songs that brought him to stardom include 'Akubwera', 'Ulendo', 'Chikondi chathu', 'Automatic', 'Pokopoko and Kapilire, among others.
"The saturday show is a preview but promises nothing but great performances and more importantly CDs of the album will be available for sale.
"The fourth album is be one of my greatest works and is lyrically powerful. And the music is so appealing to all classes of people," said BarryOne, a Blantyre based artist.
The album has been produced by Percy 'Propee' Manyozo of Pro Pee records.
Recently, Barry One attracted media attention when he hinted that he would quit music career after releasing his fourth album.
He therefore told local media that he would do a classic thing that would subsequently leave an indelible mark in the country's history of hip hop.
