Album Review: Killer T - Mashoko Anopfura

Image
Killer T earned himself a lot of fans and respect from his superb Ngoma Ndaimba (2015) album which Zimbos from all backgrounds and ages could relate to. He followed that album with Bvunza Tinzwe which was not as good as its predecessor but regardless also got a lot of love from fans. Since then whenever Killer T drops a track, EP or album you are guaranteed a lot of Zimbos will be waiting for it.  In the build up to this album they teased that he will collaborating with the biggest artist in Zimbabwe Jah Prayzah and that got a lot of people talking. Unsurprisingly the collaboration is the lading track from the album. Also on this album we get to see different sides of Killer T, there is the old Killer T which many Zimbos have fallen in love with and then there is the experimenting Killer T. Have managed to listen to the album and today will be sharing my views and thoughts on the album. As usual will be doing the track by track review of the album: 1.     Rudo Ibofu This

Album Review: ASAPH - TwentyFIVE

Image
The City of Kings and Queens is creating a solid culture when it comes to Hip Hop and one of the leading artists is Asaph. He delivered two well received projects Kingsvilla 1 & Kingsvilla 2 ( my favourite from him so far ) which put him on the radar of many hip hop/rap heads in the country.

On this track Asaph said " twentyFIVE is the story of my thoughts, experiences and journey as a 25 year old rapper living in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. Enjoy!  " So going into this album I was expecting some superb storytelling. He has again worked with partner in crime Charlie Zimbo on the production. Have listened to the album for some time now and today will be sharing my views and thoughts on the project. The

Players Bar - The Unassuming Stage for Established and Upcoming Artists.

Players Bar is located in the  CBD below the parkade along Union Avenue in Harare, its not flashy or upmarket in any way, its more to the filthy side. The location of the bar is on a dark corridor which feel like a cave and on your way to the door one will be greeted by the smell of urine as some patrons relive themselves in the dark parts on the path. Inside there is nothing that stands out, you get a stage, pool tables some flat screen led tv's and several bar tables where you can order your beer and chill. Enroute to the toilets you pass through a mini restaurant, only the brave eat there!!. Its definitely not a bar you can take you lady to but you can go with your buddies mostly because the beers are perfectly priced, no additional premiums or anything. A couple of years back when I was still into clubbing we would go to the bar with the guys and have a number of drinks before we leave for the clubs, it made economic sense, we would leave the bar already lit and woul
