Timbwama Chisenga Kaputula (born October 28, 1989) better known as Tim Thugga or now just Tim is a Zambian gospel rapper and songwriter.
Thugga is considered as one of the most complete lyricists in Zambian HipHop, stacking words with wordplays in whichever language he picks corresponding to double entendres making him a wordsmith of rap.
He rose to prominence as a member of the boy group Zone Fam formed in 2009 after they were all signed to Slam Dunk Records. The group later in 2012 signed to Taurus Musik on which it swept hits like Da Bidness, Translate and Contolola which attained them an award for Best Group at the Channel-O Music Video Awards
While in Zone Fam, Tim began to establish himself as a solo artist until April 1, 2015, when he officially announced his plans to be a gospel artist on his social media.
This further was explained as he highlighted his ability to write rhymes on twitter;

2024 marks 20yrs since I started making music. As a young kid I fell in love with words and writing became a hobby, then a passion, then the only way I could keep my sanity.
Many peers picked the bottle, I picked a microphone every time. Thank you Hip Hop, you literally saved me.

His first single as a solo Christian hip hop artist, Heartbeat (produced by Mag44), featuring Pompi was released in 2017 off his debut album T.I.M (This Is Music), which was released in 2021.
After a long term of preparation; he released his first studio album titled Sonder in 2024 amassing great success and reviews.
