Track Review: Ti Gonzi feat. Ras Caleb - Ende Makaoma

-
Ti Gonzi made his case with the mega jam Zvenyu, which is arguably the best hip hop track of the past 2 years. He won many Zimbos over with his socially conscious and relate-able lyrics. He brought a fresh style and sound to the hip hop genre. His music is not about flashy stuff or other swag topics/themes like most of the tracks in local hip hop and that's his winning formula. Ti Gonzi is working on an album titled Hipu Hopu YekuGhetto and this is probably the first single from the upcoming album. This will give us a glimpse of what to expect.


The track was produced at Kenako Studios by Dj Tamuka. He did a fantastic job, the instrumental is sounding awesome. Love the bass-line on this jam. The overall production is done very well, the vocals are sounding very audible and balanced. Great work by Kenako Guys.

Ende Makaoma is a track that is addressing the negative/hypocritical/bad things that people do on a daily basis. People are now full of hate, envy and deceit and Ti Gonzi is shaming such behavior and attitudes. A number of people are working overtime to look good in the eyes of the public but are nothing like that in private. Lets be better people. Powerful.

Ti Gonzi gave superb verses. Loved his style. His verses are standard yet very easy to comprehend. He gave an awesome performance in overall.  Ras Caleb had a small part to play but he did it superbly, he mostly provided the background vocals and his voice is perfect for that part...he nailed it. Great work by the producer for bringing the two together and structuring the track in such a way.


In overall this is a very solid jam. Love everything about this jam, the instrumental, vocals, theme.. its on point. With just this single, Ti Gonzi's upcoming album has became my most anticipated hip hop project of 2016. 

What are your thoughts on the track??

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
