The 5 Best Songs from the first Quarter of 2015

-
The end of March signals the end of the first quarter of the year and l just thought to give you the best 5 songs released in the period in mention. The rating is made by observing radio plays, fans reviews and my own rating of all the aspects of the song. The list goes as follows:


  • Exq ft Roki - The Way : The song has an amazing afro-beat soulful feel. Its that kind of song that makes your hips move even if you do not want. The vocals are on point, Roki showed his amazing vocal ability on the chorus and verse. (like this, like that, control, relax, chiuno, chiuno, go low go low...ohhh my) And Exq deliver his always chilled verses which blended perfectly into the beat and feel of the song. Superb Song.


  • Soul Afrika ft Tehn Diamond - Newe : These guys are really are dominating 2015, of the songs they released this year Newe is the best. The song has an awesome instrumental. The guys regardless maintain their Zim identity regardless of a beat that is reminiscent of Nigerian beats. The song has a great message, l love the "Mai Mfana Wangu,  Madhuve Wangu, Iwe Svovi Yangu, Svusvurandada Yangu", The way they incorporated those deep Shona words into a song without making it dull is amazing. Thats what is call maintaining their identity. Tehn Diamond provided a great verse which blends uniquely and awesome with the beat.

  • Courtney Antipas ft Prayersoul - Forever Girl : In terms of love songs this is the best l heard this year from our Lovely Zimbabwe. This was the ultimate Valentines song and its a perfect song for a wedding. Courtney Antipas gave us sweet awesome verses whilst Mr Prayersoul did what he does best, serenade. The song is chilled, relaxed and hits the right spots. The combination of these two different artists (Hip Hop & Soul) works exceptionally well giving us this soulful rap song.

  • Gze ft Cuttybeats - Mushikashika : This song here is already a classic. Gze teamed up with Cuttybeats, Vito, Zarzu and many others to give us this conscious rap song. The song depicts the struggles of ghetto life, focusing mainly on the plight of the cab and kombi drivers. The song is well produced and the lyrics were well thought. The video does justice to the song, fitting perfectly with the lyrics and theme of song. All the people l made listen to the song loved it, not even one said anything top the contrary.

  • Janet Manyowa - Tarisa : Tarisa is a beautiful, powerful song. A happy testimony for anyone. The song is refreshing and the production is on point. A must Listen.

Album Review: Asaph - Kingsvilla 2

-

Zim Hip Hop is a polarizing genre, it has its few loyal fans then for others its nearly non existent. For me most of the tracks are generic and they don't do it for me that much but now and then there comes an artist that just wows me and restores my hope in local hip hop. Asaph is one such artist, he announced his arrival with the Kingsvilla Album last year and got some heads turning. He then went on to release the follow up Kingsvilla2 and this time I decided to give myself a chance to listen to the album. After a couple of listens I was keen on making a review of the album, and get to share the project with fellow Zimbos. So ya today will be giving my thoughts on the album. The album contains 13 tracks and will be giving a track by track review . 1. City Hall Benches "Tamara voice note saying how much he misses his man Asaph and how much she is looking forward to seeing him..." This is a track for the ambitious and dreamers.  Asaph does not want to remain...
