Proud Zimbo [Anhu Acho]

The first edition of artist of the month goes to the Bigman or  Gafa as he is calling himself now. Winky D released his hugely popular and requested Gafa Life Kickstape this month, the Kickstape not only showed the masses that Winky has not lost his touch but it has solidified his position as a Legend in the Zim Music Industry. Since 2010's Igofigo Winky has failed to give us a solid album, mix-tape, project but its now a thing of the past. The Gafa Life Kickstape was produced at Kenako Studios by DJ Oskid ( who earlier today has announced that has parted ways with Kenako Studios ). The Kickstape consists of 6 fantastic well made and thought of tracks which are definitely going to cause damage this coming festive season. Below are all of the 6 tracks:  1) Copyrights . 2) Disappear 3) Ndini Ndaita Kuti 4) Idya Mari 5) Woshora 6) Survivor ft Shinsoman Proud_Zimbo

October seems to be a favourite for many artists, many tracks were released this month and that makes creating the top 5 songs of October a headache. After many hour of listening and arguing these were the songs that made it into the top 5: 1)   Pah Chihera ft MacDee - Ukandisiya After some time working in the background Pah Chihera is back and is back with a bang. This song addresses heartbreaks and honouring vows. The collaboration with MacDee, is just heavenly. Classic track. 2) Killer T & Mathias Mhere - Wenyasha Ungamudii Quite an unusual collaboration, however it works perfectly. Staying in the Lords favour and grace is the best thing anyone can do. The song stresses on that importance and at the same time entertaining us. 3)   Winky D & Shinsoman - Survivor Gafa and Baba Devante collaborated to give hope to the Ghetto Youths in these dire economic situations. Powerful. This song is pure edutainment. 4) Winky D - Woshora (Sum...

After some time Dj Naida is back behind the mic with this new song Jaiva . Dj Naida is one of the few respected female Club Deejays and MC in the country. Despite concentrating more on the deejay side Naida is a fierce MC who can drop some serious bars. She is back with a house track, how does it fare?? The track was produced by Showtime Record boss Reverb 7 together with Showtime Record rapper Simba Tagz. Reverb 7 is no newcomer to house music as he is a deep house producer and DJ himself. Simba Tagz is also massively talented on the production side with a couple of hit songs under his belt, the most known being Pee Kay's Ma1 . The two guys did a great job, going for an Uhuru kind of beat and they did it well. The beat even on it's own can cause damage on the dancefloor. Great jop by the duo. For afro house like this, lyrics are just there to make the song more full, lyrics are there to compliment the beat to make the song more dance-able. We have seen that with many...

TeamBhoo is back with visuals for their track Hatitambwe Idzodzo . TeamBhoo seems to be only hip hop group which is still functioning, award winning groups Few Kings and MMT are now extinct. Zim Hip Hop has been well below par in 2015 with only the exception of a few like Cal_Vin & Gze. TeamBhoo have no competition at the moment and come next awards season the gongs are for them to take, the group awards l mean. So how does Hatitambwe Idzodzo fare ??? The track was produced by resident producer Dj Towers. The instrumental is quite dope, not as iconic as the Hamuko instrumental but it can stand its own ground. The song in overall is well mixed and mastered, the elements of the instrumental are audible and the vocals are clear. Great Job to Dj Towers. Hatitambwe Idzodzo is about standing your own ground against any haters and competitors. It basically saying "am not that gullible" and outclassing your haters. Schingy was in charge of the bars and he did well. His ...

Gt Beatz, Tricky J & Mugo hyped this video like crazy, they made sure every hip hop and even non hip hop fans knew that it was coming. The marketing was powerful and on point....great work from the guys. The video is finally out now, and was the hype all in vain ??? did it meet the expectations they created??? The song was produced by gT Beatz. The instrumental is well made and sounding good. The song is quite audible...gT Beatz did a great job both on beat production side and also on the mixing and mastering. The video is dope, quality is on point, the directing matches the theme and feel of the joint. The video does not disappoint, for once a video has managed to match the hype created for it. Zim is quite a conservative country and the guys were pushing boundaries with this video and it works...we await to see the reaction of the masses. The video follows the international trend which put much emphasis on cars, ladies, expensive liquor and money. In terms of Zim Hip Hop it...

Zim Jam Signal is house fusion/jazz band made up of three guys namely : Abel Maunga, Mutsawashe Gudlanga and Osborne Matengenzara. Zim Jam Signal has been having shows around Harare for some months now and are making a good name for themselves. The group is now evolving from a jazz/house fusion band to an afro pop band. With many artists right now preferring the computerized type of music, Zim Jam Signal is aiming at producing similar sounding songs but with the use of a live band.....quite brave. Jikina is their first track since choosing the afro pop kind of beat so how does it sound??  The instrumental is sounding quite great. Love the modern techno Fuse ODG kind feel of the instrumental. The best part of the song for me is from 2:01 when they introduced the saxophone...it changes the whole song and brings a new dimension to the instrumental, it gave the song this salsa feel which one doesn't hear much this side of the world. Repeated that part for like 10 times, its hea...

Zimbabwe is a dancehall/reggae loving country, possibly the biggest reggae/dancehall consumer in Africa. International Dancehall acts are flocking the country, its like a second home to them. In 2015 alone Zimbabweans have witnessed shows from : Konshens, Charly Black, Luciano and the latest one being Busy Signal.  The show was organised by Chippaz Promotions together with Devine Promotions. Chippaz reputation is stained due to some of the antics he usually does which leave fans feeling cheated. The Davido show is one such show. The last high profile show, the Konshens Concert which occurred two weeks back was marred by massive technical glitches and mismanagement....all these memories had Busy Signal fans praying that their show won't be as those two shows before. In hope of good faith the fans thronged the Glamis arena in hope of a spellbinding show like the 2012 Beenie Man Concert, which is lauded as the best show by an International act since the start of the 21st cent...
