Track Review : ExQ ft Cal-Vin - Nzungu Ndamenya

-
Exq is having quite a great year. He opened the year with two superb songs The Way ft Roki and Pore Pore ft Roki & Nesto. The tracks were received well by the public and received a lot of airplay on the various urban radio stations. He then teamed up with Roki again to release Alleluya and T.G.I.F. Alleluya perfomed very well, aided by the video which is in the run for  Video of the Year.


This time Mr Musalala teamed up with fast rising Luveve Boy Cal-Vin. The track was produced by Dj Tamuka at Kenako Studios (these studios seem to be behind every song these days!!!). The song is on a Dj Mustard Kind of beat. Creativity levels are low even though it sounds nice.

Exq changed his rapping style on this one, he didn't sound like what we used to, (aitaura nemumhino)!! Some may like it, some will hate it. Personally I hated it at first but have now warmed up to it...its tolerable now. Cal-Vin is definitely one of the best rappers in the country and on this song he further made his stand, despite not hearing what he is rapping about most of the time (my Ndebele is limited) it sounds good.

The song is about finally enjoying your relationship after going through hell to win the girl. Other guys may try to get her away from you, but they don't know how much you went through to get her. You have worked hard to win her heart and no one can take her away from you. In Shona we say "Kusimbisa babez zvekuti hakuna kwaanoenda". Great Song.

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
