Namibian rapper and producer COOL K releases his 20-track album, Every Side of Me, on Friday, 13 November, blending R&B, Afrobeats, Afropop, Hip-Hop and Trap, with K-Diva as the sole guest artist.
WINDHOEK – Starden Kulubenda Mpulila, professionally known as COOL K, says the project showcases his versatility and his ambition to reach listeners in Namibia and beyond.
Originally from Makusi Village in the Kaliyangile area of the Zambezi Region, he is now based in Windhoek. Active in music production since 2009, he developed the album through COOL K BEATZ Recording Studio. It moves from reflective and romantic songs to energetic contemporary African rhythms.
An exclusive collaboration with K-Diva
K-Diva, who is signed under COOL K BEATZ Recording Studio, is the album’s only guest. Her contributions complement COOL K’s performances and underscore the studio’s commitment to nurturing talent within its own creative environment.
Rather than assembling a long list of collaborators, COOL K chose a cohesive project centred on his artistic identity and his work with K-Diva, placing the spotlight on independent music production in Namibia.
Reaching audiences beyond Namibia
COOL K has also been promoting his music internationally. His song Stay Until Morning has received radio exposure on Kiss FM in Nigeria, an encouraging step as he seeks to connect with audiences across Africa and other markets.
He believes Namibian artists can broaden their reach through consistent production, professional presentation and digital distribution, and encourages emerging musicians to learn about copyright, music ownership and the ways eligible recordings may generate royalties.
Digital-first release
Every Side of Me will be released digitally, with no physical CD edition currently planned. It will be available on major streaming services, and fans who prefer to buy the complete digital project directly may do so for N$100, with electronic delivery arranged after payment confirmation.
For COOL K, the album is both a creative milestone and a continuation of his independent journey. Despite the challenges of funding, producing and promoting music without major-label backing, he remains focused on building his catalogue and supporting artists associated with his studio.
Release details
Every Side of Me is scheduled for release on Friday, 13 November 2026 on digital music platforms.
