P.O.Y - Sola Sola

Image
P.O.Y has finally released the video for the hit song Sola Sola . The video quality is good bt the directing is awful as one dimensional, more effort was needed. Compared to other videos that came out this January ( Tambisa , Mushikashika & Skubhu ) this one fares badly. He did not do justice to the song Watch the video and comment with your views #Proud_Zimba

Gze - Mushikashika (Ghetto Life)

Image
Gze gave us the ultimate driving anthem Yzia (Vroom Vroom)  , after that he  gave us another hit Zvakabhadara. He is one of the best and unique shona rappers in the country. This time he took an a different theme and focuses on the hustles of the daily ghetto life mainly focusing on the cab/kombi drivers around the city who are always on a cat & mouse chase around the cities with the city council authorities and police traffic officers He worked with Cuttybeats  on the song and video. This will definitely be an anthem by the Ghetto hustlers. The social consciousness is highly commendable and L applaud Gze for that. Watch The Video Proud_Zimbo

Tricky J - Tambisa

The Video to the controversial Tambisa is out. This is definitely not a favorite for parents but is and the video will be a hit with the young viewers. The song was already controversial and the video makes the song even crazy. However its a great party song. Watch the video Proud Zimbo

Tkae Chidz ft Simba Tagz - Skubhu

R&B Music In Zim

Image
R&B in Zim This genre is still largely mistaken as urban grooves by many in the country. Rhythm and Blues is now a stand alone genre in Zimbabwe and has a lot of amazing songs that can melt anyone out there. RnB is about love and other intimate issues, it requires great vocal ability and mellow quality beats, this makes it a bit difficult to do and that's evident by the few artists in that genre. In Zimbabwe this genre is quite big and includes the following artists: Trevor Dongo  - Undoubtedly the King of RnB in Zimbabwe. This guy has an amazing voice and his songs are on point, coupled with the instrumental being made by Legendary Award Winning Producer MacDonald 'MacDee' Chidavaenzi. Their combination has produced a wide list of hits ( Nerunako, Tivanyadzise, Ndashamisika, Musikana Wangu, Ndawana Zano, African Girl, Nemoyo...etc ). Trevor Dongo has 4 albums to date { Ndozviita Sei, Ruvarashe, First Verse & Two Steps To Go }. His hit song Ndashamisi
