Track Review: Chikwata 263 - Usatambe Nemoyo (Acoustic)

-
Chikwata 263 is a local afro punk rock group from the capital Harare. They are very much unknown to the masses, their genre is probably the least popular among Zimbos which also adds to their low popularity. Zimbabwe is predominantly Dancehall, Sungura, Traditional Jah Prayzah type of sound and all the urban genres that came out of the urban grooves movement (RnB, Hip Hop, and the aforementioned Dancehall.). However Chikwata 263 does not let that stop them from making the music they want and this year they decided to join the Valentine's release wagon with this acoustic version of Usatambe Nemoyo wangu.


As mentioned above this is an acoustic version, the only instrument used was the acoustic guitar. They went for a simple guitar strum progression to help complement the vocals.

On this track they are saying don't play with my heart for I have given myself to you. Falling in love means that you are going to bare yourself to your partner, you going to put your trust in them and giving someone such power over you is scary so you hope and pray that they won't play with your heart.

The vocals are done well, they have a certain passion to them which gets you hooked to the track and they complement the guitar quite well.

Stream the track:

In overall this is a lovely song. Its simple and straight to the point. Sing this to your partner and you are guaranteed to see the biggest smile on their face and a kiss coupled with a promise that they will not hurt you.

What are your thoughts on 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...
