Track Review: Dj Stavo feat. Roki - The Journey

-
Dj Stavo has officially opened his 2017 account. He last released Simudza Ngoma featuring Jah Prayzah end of last year and the visuals have garnered a lot of views on YouTube. Personally Simudza Ngoma is one of my least favourite tracks from Stavo, I'm a big house fan and that track is not that good, if it wasn't for Jah Prayzah's pulling power I feel it was not gonna get as much airplay and views. Now he has released a new jam and this time he features Roki, have listened to the track quite a lot and will be giving my views and thoughts on the new track. 


Stavo went for a Black Motion kind of arrangement on this track and I'm loving it. The inclusion of the acoustic guitar was a very good move, if you follow house music (especially deep house) on the continental scene you will know how much the guitar is like the the Holy Grail these days. The guitar work is done very well, whoever was in charge of the guitar did a splendid job. The keyboard also gave the track a nice smooth edge and it complemented the guitar very well. All in all this is a solid instrumental and it's now my favourite Dj Stavo production.

The Journey is more like a personal diary page, on the track Roki is just singing about how lonely and tough the journey was to get to where is now. Music is his calling and it has been his life's journey to become the musician he is today, he has sacrificed and suffered a lot on this journey/passion of his.

The vocal performance by Roki was on point, he delivered a passionate performance and blended well with the instrumental. 


In overall this is good jam, I'm loving it. The instrumental is superb, Roki was at par on the vocals, the theme is on point, solid jam. This is not a track that will climb to the top of the charts or get massive views in a short period of time especially in this Zim music industry but its a track that house fans will definitely love and will be playing for some time to come. 

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...
