Video & Track Review : Thabbz ft Cal_Vin - Hey Wena

-
The thing l respect most about Cal_Vin is that even as he is fast rising into one of Zim's finest rappers and certified hit maker he is making sure other Bulawayo rappers rise as well and get the needed recognition. His rise is benefiting other artists in the city of Kings. This time he featured on Thabbz's Hey Wena. Did not know about Thabbz till this track, so how does the track fare???


The track was produced by Cal_Vin. They went for a Kwaito instrumental and it's sounds great. Kwaito is quite big in Bulawayo and l bet this one is on many Dj's playlists in the City of Kings. The instrumental has a slow tempo bouncy feel, which is expected from Kwaito beats. Even for the rest of Zim where Kwaito is not that big, the beat will get you bumping. Great work on the production from Cal_Vin.

The track has a catchy hook, one you will find yourself singing along to when its dropped in the club or party. Thabbz did a great job on his verse, loved it. Cal_Vin always delivers every-time he spits on the mic and this track is no exception. My Ndebele is limited but despite that this is a dope jam.

The video was made by Blaqs Videos. Video quality is one point. They did not try to go over the top with the directing and effects and the end result is a fun and entertaining video to watch. The set is simple and it fits the feel and theme of the track in a great way. Great work by Blaqs Videos, am loving the video.


I see this track getting a lot of airplay in the SA music scene as compared to Zim. Kwaito is more relate-able to South Africans than Zimbos.  Loving the Track.

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...
