Tamba Hali Releases New Single “Latido” Featuring C.I.C. and Geno

Liberian-born recording artist and former Kansas City Chiefs Linebacker, Tamba Hali, released the new single “Latido” feat. Geno and C.I.C. today via Relumae Records. The Masterkraft-produced track finds Tamba and fellow Liberian artists Geno and CIC vibing to the percussive yet breezy soundscape. “Latido” is the first single from Tamba’s upcoming project LIBERIA,  a compilation featuring entirely Liberian artists, released via Tamba’s Relumae Records. “Latido” is available everywhere now.

On his new track, Tamba says: “Geno and C.I.C., two of the best artist in Liberia, chose to do a fun song with me produced by Masterkraft. We enjoy working on this song. I think the world will get a tease of how LIBERIAN dance music sounds.”

“Latido” is the first new music from Tamba Hali since the release of his beautifully shot “Girl Like U” video. Shot in Liberia, the video cinematically captures the countries captivating beaches. “Latido(’s)” featured artist C.I.C. is fresh off the heels of his smash hit, “Morning” nearing half a million views on YouTube. Through working with Liberian artists on his new track and upcoming EP, and continuing to shoot videos in Liberia, Tamba is aiding in the reinvigoration of the Liberian economy and its arts community one collaboration at a time.

More on Tamba Hali:

Whether playing the Defensive End for the Kansas City Chiefs or navigating the direction of his burgeoning label, Relumae Records, the six foot three inch, Liberian-born athlete/recording artist moves like a quiet storm with humility. Parts of Tamba Hali’s personal journey read like a fiction novel. He and his seven siblings fled from war-torn Liberia to the Ivory Coast during his youth only to later join his father, a chemistry and physics professor, in New Jersey.

Playing the drums and singing in the choir began for Hali in Liberia, which transitioned to writing rhymes once he was in Teaneck, NJ and first introduced to A Tribe Called Quest, 2Pac, Biggie and Jay-Z. His love of production surfaced in college as Hali always found a way to be around music. Enter Relumae Records. Athlete, artist and businessman – Tamba Hali strives to be “the guy who is going to prove a lot of people wrong. I want people to remember me as a professional athlete and recording artist, and that everything I did, I put my heart into and did well.”
