Track Review : Sharky ft Crimson Blu - Dzoka

Sharky is one talented rapper who is respected by many hip hop fans but not much known by those not affiliated to hip hop music. His influence and reach is still much limited to hip hop fans. The Chitungiwa based MC has been in the game for more than three years and has gave us songs such as : Soko Matemai, Ndere Mahara, Yohwe ...etc. Came across the link to the track Dzoka on twitter a couple of days back and thot of doing a review of the jam.

The track was produced at G Records with Tizzy being the brains behind the instrumental. for more info on how the song came about read here. The instrumental is on an afro-beat tip, and its sounding very nice. Love how they incorporated traditional instruments onto the beat, the mbira makes the song sound richer and more original. The beat sounds fresh and the guitar riff added more flavour and rhythm to the song. Great work by Tizzy (@Tizzy_007).

Dzoka (Return) is to all those Zimbos that leave the country for greener pastures outside. Its about those Zimbos who go outside for varsity and despite of concentrating on school stuff they engage in unethical practices and destructive lifestyles forgetting that back home their families are waiting for them to make a better future for the family. Sharky is saying those people who are suffering unnecessarily in foreign countries must come back and help build the country.

Sharky delivered great verses on the track and for those that did not know about him, this is the perfect track to start with. The second verse was just on point, edutainment at its best. Crimson Blu laced the song with her beautiful voice. Loved the ululating, it gave the song that enchanting traditional feel. The combination between the two works pretty fantastic, hope we get more collaborations from them.
