Netsayi and Black Pressure - Vakorinte XIII

-
Came across this performance as I was browsing through YouTube a couple of months back. Today am in a mbira fusion music mood, thanks to Because of You by Mbira Queen Hope Masike. This is a lovely lovely performance by Netsayi and Black Pressure, live in the Green Space.

Netsayi and Black Pressure are largely unknown in Zimbabwe, personally I knew about her courtesy of the Harare International Festival of Arts (HIFA). HIFA is widely diverse in its artists selection and we get to know about many artists at the festival. Zimbabwe has a vast and rich pool music and artists. Many concentrate on the popular few and on most cases are shocked when some artists say  they are Zimbabwean. If one chooses to widen their artist/genre base they will be shocked by the amount of talent Zimbabwe has to offer.

This performance is just lovely. Enjoy

Mixtape Review : Brythreesixty - Purple Mars

Brythreesixty has finally released his much publicized Purple Mars Mixtape. 2016 is more like a do or die year for him. He has to show if he can compete with the best and in a year dubbed by many as the Year of Zim Hip Hop he is gonna have to put in more work than before. So how does Purple Mars fare?? Will be reviewing my top 4 tracks from the Purple Mars Mixtape and will leave  the others for you the fans and readers to rate!! God Feeling ( Sikelela ) ft J.S.K.X.X.V.I The first thing you hear is the nice laid instrumental which am loving. God Feeling is about feeling like a boss regardless of the current challenges and putting your trust in God. Success starts from within and this track is about having a winner's mentality. In terms of the verses both the guys were in beast mode and they gave superb verses. Was enjoying the track till the last Nkosi Sikelela chant in the end, it sounded as if it's not at the same wave length as the rest of the track, better mixing
