Proud Zimbo [Anhu Acho]

Despite the emergence and popularity of the new generation of Hip Hop, Stunner has managed to stay relevant. Like everyone he had his ups and downs, hits and misses but  regardless every Zimbo can agree kuti Mdara Des has managed to stay relevant over the years...he is like the Zim version of Jay Z. He has released a couple of tracks this year, Never Gonna Get It & Unemamhepo ft Tally B are my favourite among those he released in 2015. For someone regarded as a hip hop icon in the country every release is under scrutiny and has to be standard. With Mamhepo he ruthlessly won and ended his feud with fellow rapper Mudiwa for good and he further solidified his position as one of the greats. The major question now is that how does the new track fare?? Time was produced at Mt Zion records, uhmmmm he has been recording there a lot, personally don't know if its because Stunner is a fan of T-Man's productions or that Mt Zion is now under Tazoita Cash Records or the...

1) Courtney Antipas - God's Way All Day (GWAD) Courtney Antipas continues spreading the word, and on GWAD he is urging others to live the way God wants all the time. May people are getting carried away by the worldly things and turning a blind eye on how God wants us to live. Powerful track. 2) Nyasha Timbe - Wandipedzera Nyasha Timbe is back with another banger. Wandipedzera is a awesome love song guaranteed to melt the heart of that partner of yours. 3) Zyon Black ft Aura The Poet - Rudo Rwanhasi The EDM King is back with another banger. this time he featured the poetic voice of Aura. Amazing talent these two have. The track that will keep you dancing all night. 4) Mr Boomslang ft Sonii Balli - She's Worth It (Zulu Mix) UK based Mr Boomslang is back with a new banger. Going solo seems to be working well for him. 5) Cal-Vin - Bona Cal-Vin is inspiring youths all over Zim to rise up and follow their dreams. His rise from an unknown to the king of Bulaway...

Masvingo born Mr Boomslang or Kazz of the Bkay & Kazz fame has released a new jam featuring Sonii Balli. Currently Bkay & Kazz have split up and are both pursuing solo careers. The decision to split is said to be mutual as they both agreed it was time to go solo. Kazz & Sonii last worked together in 2012 on the track afropop jam  So Fine , the track was received well by their fans and that led to another collaboration. With the duo collaborating again we cant help but ask how the new track fares compared to the last one?? The new track adopted a dancehall influenced beat which is different to the Afro-beat feel of their previous collaboration. The instrumental however sounds good, it' mixed and mastered very well...its sounding good no matter where you playing the track be it phone speakers, home theater, car speakers. Great work by the producer(s). They sampled the " mbo mbo mbo... " from Margaret Singara's We Are Moving , and it paid off because...

There is a massive shortage of RnB music in Zim, many artists are joining the Dancehall or AfroBeat wagons...it pains me. Nyasha Timbe is one talented vocalist and songwriter from Marondera, not that much known for he has a few tracks compared to other RnB artists, but when he puts pen to paper he always produces some amazing tracks. His track Zvaramba ( Walking Away ) was an instant classic. The only problem is that Nyasha disappears after releasing a track, consistency is missing from the crooner. Wandipedzera stayed true to RnB roots, most RnB tracks local or international have hip hop beats (Trey Songs, The Weekend..etc). Personally I believe Rhythm and Blues (RnB) must be mellow, chilled with more focus on the lyrics rather than the beat. The instrumental on this track takes one back to the Jagged Edge, Jaheim, Joe Thomas era. Loving the instrumental, can listen to this all day. Smooth. The track is about going crazy over your loved one. Thinking about them every time...

Big Welly as he is affectionately known, has released the video to this much demanded track Changamire . His last video  Fire Fire  was received very well. Big Welly is part of the popular Zimpraise Choir, when he is not with Zimpraise he blesses us with some uptempo gospel tracks. The track is just proclaiming that Jesus is the King of Kings. Ndichangamire meaning he is the Ultimate King. He is proclaiming that it doesn't matter where you are, Jesus is the King ndiChangamire. The instrumental is also good. Enjoying the track. The video was made by Tiffman Productions. The video is simple, nothing over the top. Big Welly is popular for his dances and this video concentrates on that the most. This is a praise song, one made for people to dance whilst praising the Lord. Its not a contender for video of the year, but many will enjoy watching it. Proud_Zimbo

Winky D or Gafa as he is calling himself these days, is back with another tune. Was wondering when Bigman was gonna record under the popular Kenako studios and am glad to say he finally did so. Winky is a dancehall Icon, he has inspired Zim dancehall to where it is now but truthfully his recent songs ( Machikichori , Daddy Vauya ...) were just plain disappointing. Many people are saying his time is over !!!! but Winky keeps on saying ndiri Gafa kusvika ndafa, meaning he will always be Di Bigman till death. Will this new track reinstate him as the King of Dancehall???? Mirror was produced by popular producer Dj Oskid. The instrumental is dope, Oskid is producing hit after hit and this song will add to his long list of hits. Love the bassline on this song, Oskid knows how to give a track the required baselines. Mirror track is about self belief, loving yourself. Its about having confidence in yourself and not concentrating on what others say about you. Confidence starts fr...

Summer is upon us and summer tracks are coming out from all sides, each artist trying to create the ultimate summer anthem. POY teamed up with fellow rapper MC Chita  for this summer joint. Its been time we heard from POY and with Bulawayo making some noise in the hip hop circles mostly due to Cal Vin, POY has to release something to consolidate his place in the hip hop ranks and also to further push the City of Kings and Queens up on the Hip Hop map. Summer songs are great but have expiry dates, because once summer is over they are off the playlist so if one decides to make a summer song they have to nail it. Ke Summer was produced by Young Stan, and he did a commendable job on the instrumental.    MC Chita went crazy on the beat with a super verse, he went American crazy on the beat.....that is because he actually did sound American. POY on the other hand maintained his usual chilled flow, and delivered some dope bars in the process. In overall this ...
