Six years after the release of his acclaimed debut album Sound Legacy, Chilu Lemba is back with yet another offering of his blend of Hip Hop and Afro-pop with a hint of Zam-beats. This second album offers a more mature sound from Chilu and demonstrates how much he has grown as a person and as a musician and, more importantly, a lyricist and writer. Flowers, Needles & Drumbeats has the potential to sit on the same shelves as many African classics, simply because it is more of a well rounded offering than Sound Legacy and not only brings Chilu's lyrical prowess to the fore, but couples it with great production from some of Southern Africa's budding and top producers. Notable features on this album include Zubz, Kofi, Pompi, and JK, who lend their lyrical skills on the title track and create possibly one of the best collaborations in Southern African music this year. The song almost sounds as if Chilu had brought Fella Kuti back from the grave to lay down the instrumentation.

Go Getter was the 1st single off Chilu Lemba's album Flowers, Needles & Drumbeats album.
