Track Review: ExQ feat Nutty O - Let's Talk About It

-
ExQ has managed to stay relevant for more than 10 years now and he is not showing signs of stopping. His 2015 album Putiti shot him back to the top of the local music circles with bangers such as Alleluya, Bhachura, Mamoyo..etc. Towards end of last year he hinted on a new album in the works and released a banger titled Jerusarema featuring another in form artist Freeman HKD Boss. With such a superb year behind him, 2017 was only going to be better and it started with him signing to Jah Prayzah's most talked about Military Touch Movement record label. Now that the record label buzz is done with, its time for the music. For ExQ its time to finish up the new album. He has now released his first track of 2017 and probably the second single from the upcoming album after Jerusarema. So today will be sharing with you my views and thoughts on the new jam; Let's Talk About It.

The track was produced by the finest Afro Beat producer in Zim Dj Tamuka. The instrumental here is on a dancehall tip with some afro beat elements. The arrangement is done very well, it fits perfectly with the kind of dancehall that is popular on the continental scene at the moment. With such good productions it won't be surprising if we hear Patoranking on a Dj Tamuka beat. The overall production is standard, great work by Dj Tamuka.

Let's Talk About It is about those relationship choices many are faced with. To the ladies, do you want a relationship with a guy who takes you on holidays but gives you only a piece of his heart or the guy who gives you all his heart but cannot take you to the fancy holidays. Its more like situation whereby a guy want's to know what the girl wants/prefers before investing in a relationship with her. It also applies the other way round, a girl asking a guy if he likes a freak but no brains or a smart lady but but less freaky?? and independent or dependent lady??. Relationships can be complicated and cause quite a headache so this track is about knowing your person before it gets serious, usati wanyura murudo.

The vocals are arranged well, their structure blends quite well with the instrumental, good work by the producer. The two artists managed to complement each other very well, Nutty O's signature style works well with ExQ's lazy like kind of rapping.


In overall this is a nice jam. Hope ExQ gives this track some visuals, that will help expand its reach to the whole of Africa, like what happened to Bhachura Remix.

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...
