Even Bosses Got Feelings preview

Artist: RapThan

Project: Even bosses got feelings [EBGF]

Twitter: @D_T_R_zw

When one talks of bosses, they refers to leaders, mavericks in the community. Bosses, as used by RapThan, are the big guys that lead their respective industry. They go through hell for their subordinates. They set examples of courage, strength and boldness to all who see them. This, however, does not mean they are not super human nor immune to physical, mental and emotional pain.

On the back drop of a heartbreak inflicted by the girl he thought was his beginning and end, his baby mama, RapThan produced this EP to share his story. He felt his friends and fans were not understanding how a person of his stature, being the leader of a label, could be so emotional and broken over a heartbreak. He has taken it upon himself to express his story and show that as much as he is a boss in his own right, he has feelings too.

The EP is set to feature industry riders like Rockie DoUb of the Monate Fela’ fame and award winner Floppy X of ‘Ngdakwe ngahamba ngeface’ fame. Three more tracks will be added to the compilation with a scheduled online release for early June. Winter is surely coming and will be bringing a lot of music with it.

Rulah ZW: Born in the Trap

Personality: Rulah ZW aka Shaun Edward

Role: Hip Hop influencer

The new millennium has seen new forms of the Hip Hop culture emerge. From skaters, to boppers and now we have personalities that represent the genre and are as much a part of it as any other aspect in the game. Rulah is one such personality. 

Born in the late 90s, Rulah was exposed to hip hop music early on with the main stream acts like 50 Cent, Eminem and Snoop Dogg. Now that he has found his footing with the current flow of rap music in trap and soul, Rulah has been following international acts from Bryson Tiller to Isiah Rashad and Dave East among the many he bumps to. This doesn’t mean he has no love for local flavor.

Rulah has a local top five of Zimbabwean rappers mostly from Bulawayo. Included in his list is the on fire Rockie DoUb, Excellence’s very own J. Garnet of the ‘Maleeh’ fame, Skiiny (DAV) also known for his graphic designing skills, Ashley Kempton and M-One who wrote the classic Holy_Mic track. Rulah says 2019 saw Excellence Music Records aiming for the skies as they produced an in-house mixtape, an EP for Martin Jona Tao, a series of singles by J. Garnet and KoKo and the rise of Club Excellence the blog site for promoting local artists and their works.

When asked what he sees as the future of Zim hip hop, he believes Bulawayo rap is the next big thing. He cited that there is a lot of talent in the city and various stables and movements have been putting the city on the map. Rulah says moves like having local radio stations playing Bulawayo artists has not only improved general quality of locally produced music but also increased the number of music available to the public so they also know what‘s going on with their local celebrities. He also mentioned that events like the Color Fest, Bigger than Hip Hop (BTHH) and the Annual August Rush (AAR) have helped put some artists on the map and have provided a platform for other artists to bloom and shine.

Rulah is a staunch believer in local talent and wishes to see all of them put in the work and hours so as to produce high quality music and videos and compete with international counterparts. Rulah encourages unity among artists and says the one way Bulawayo can rise is if artists work together to build the game and see them played internationally. Rulah is no hater and shares everybody’s links throughout his network freely. Get a hold of him on his social media

Umfazi Katshaywa: Promoting peace in the home

Artist: BleckHit

Track: Umfazi katshaywa

Album: The Advocate

Link: https://m.soundcloud.com/user-188344252/bleckhit-umfazi-katshaywa

#Qiniso_Rap

BleckHit, the Ndebele rap advocate gives us more of his new flavor, Qiniso rap with his single, “Umfazi katshaywa” extracted from his latest album, “The Advocate.” 

Acting as a social commentator, BleckHit here touches on an issue quite precedent in our local communities. Here he speaks to men encouraging them to treat their women, wives, mothers and daughters as precious goods. He describes them as flowers that beautify the world. With negative behavior that hurts and even kills women, men are in essence making the world an ugly place. How then should one expect respect and honor when all your partner knows is fear?

The outspoken BleckHit also speaks against child marriages exposing some religions and cultural rituals where people use young women as fortune trinkets, treatments or cures for life long illnesses and baby making machines. He encourages men to honor their vows and love their women as they would their own bodies. Gender based violence activism is very potent in Zimbabwe and can never preached enough. It is a good thing to see artists produce music with a positive message and get airplay.

The song is well produced. The instrumental has a feel of rap and dancehall to it making it easy to listen to. BleckHit did the entire song including the backing vocals and chorus. The track is currently topping the charts on Skyz Metro Fm and is enjoying good airplay. This is encouraging because it shows that not all entertainment and hip hop music making waves is about recreation, money and ‘hustling’.

I will take this opportunity also to discourage violence in the home and abuse of any kind. Be it physical, verbal, mental, economic or social. Both men and women, find better and humane means to communicate or express yourselves. We all need each other and the world is a better place when there is peace in the home.

DJ BlakAwt: Road to the Beat Tape

BlakAwt: Beat maker growing hip hop 

Artist: BlakAwt 

Trade: Beat maker/ Producer 

 

Hip Hop is a growing and vibing culture in Zimbabwe. Many artists have gained national and even regional fame.  The modern version of culture comprises of rappers, which encompasses battlers, freestylers and song makers, dancers, graphic designers, graffiti artists, videographers, DJs and beat makers. This article is about the latter. And a name that surfaces is DJ BlakAwt hailing from Mpopoma in Bulawayo. 

 

BlakAwt is a passionate and talented hip hop producer. He is one of the pioneers of gangster Ndebele rap, Mgiqika Cyphers with the late Don. He has been instrumental in inspiring the careers of many rappers from Mpopoma all the way to Emganwini. BlakAwt also produced the memorable track, ‘Twelve disciples of the Cypher’ produced at the former DOPE Studios and featured established kats like Cal_Vin and Floppy X. Lyricists like M-One, Mistar T, Kingson Mac and Psycho Tek  made graceful appearances among the star studded cast representing NK 9 and the Bulawayo culture as a whole. By means of this beat tape, he will be the first to bring Bulawao and Soweto together on one project.

 

BlakAwt, now based in South Africa, has initiated a movement to promote what he calls the most essential component to hip hop, whether underground or mainstream, Beat making. Without beats, most tracks would simply be poetry or lamentations. In this regard, he is putting together a Beat Tape to promote the art and trade of producers. He has put together a group of +35 beat makers, with room for growth, and as a collective will be putting out beat tapes on a regular so that beat makers get recognition, showcase their skills and be able to sell their works so as to make a living. 

 

The idea is to provide a platform for access to not only locally produced beats but to also highlight this as a viable business. Many artists and producers are short changed and under paid. BlakAwt hopes this initiative will see a boost in received revenue towards beat makers and the industry in Zimbabwe as a whole. 

 

The first of this movement will be launched May 2020. Look out for what the beasts in beats have to offer. Keep your pockets full because these producers are promising nothing but fire.

Siyathandaza’: Motivation by Luminous

 

Artist(s) – Luminous Ft. Juandez Apongo, Mawizza, Donny Chords and GTI 

Track – Siyathandaza 

Production – Represent Beats 

Artwork – Marko Designs 

Link – 

https://bit.ly/2YI84vu

  

One of the singles from his “Driven” album, Siyathandaza is one gem by Luminous. The track is a feel good anthem and samples the popular church hymn “Inzima lindlela” once done a cover for by Sandra Ndebele. Represent beats had an idea and Luminous in studio, the two part chorus was done and a motivational gospel rap song was born. 

 

It is everyone’s dream to be happy and find a measure of success in life. This song touches on exactly that. Represent Beats, being an active producer that he is, brought in the rap features in the track. Mawizza, Donny Chords and GTI are well known rappers in the Bulawayo circuit and based on their history alone are relevant features on such a track. It was easy for them to express their desires which produced a balance in the overall track. 

 

Juandez Apongo, my first time hearing of him, has some clean vocals. Luminous brought him in for the singing and bridge and surely got that down. A lot of talent is on this track. The amazing thing is how they took an old and very Ndebele concept, fused it with hip hop and gave it new life. It is an easy sing along to track that surely boosts one spirit. 

 

Please check out the stream for the track and get yourself “Driven” for the better things in life, spiritually,

Msiz'kay does it again (Ngawuzw' umoya wami track preview)

Artist(s) – Msiz’kay Ft. AWA Khiwe and Mzoe 7 

Track – Ngawuzw’ umoya wami 

YouTube – 

https://youtu.be/o-99ozxhlbl

  

At the back of a successful album, Msiz’kay once again has come to rock our ear buds with beautiful sounds of African melody. Adding sugar to our already sweetened pallets, Msiz’kay here features amazing talent in AWA Khiwe of the Ndebele Rap Queen fame and the enegetic Mr Gagagugu, Mzoe 7. 

 

The setting?  Two lovers going through an altercation then the one starts to give attention to another. A scenario common in our society. Yawuzwa umoya wakho uphuleka. A story of love, lust and jealousy. This track fuses hip hop with modern day afro pop and the production is good utilizing in full the technology now available linking artists based abroad on one project. 

 

The song was inspired by the trio wanting to give the people the familiar yet painful story in an entertaining presentation. The beat was sent out which AWA and Mzoe vibed to instantly. Creative backing vocals for the chorus were added by Mzoe for that extra flair and flex for the masses. AWA is amazing with her delivery, diction and emotional expression. The trio bring the song to life and hope the masses enjoy it as much as they enjoyed creating it.  

 

This is the first single off Msiz’kay’s upcoming album to be released later in the year. He promises great production and relatable stories that his fans and more can vibe to and share.  

‘ Ngawuzw’ umoya wami’ is available for streaming on YouTube

I'm back _ Lee_Zie Taylor anñounces her return

Artist: Lee_Zie Taylor

Track: I’m back

Production: K-Switch

Mixing and Mastering: K-Bling

Genre: Urban Hip Hop

Lee_Zie Taylor, the name that raises heads in the local music scene. She is an upcoming femcee who has taken steps to ensure her rise will be undeniable this time around. Her latest offering, I’m back,’ is a strong call reminding the big BYO that she is the missing leader of the game. Going in with an explicit type of flow, Lee_Zie minces no words in her claim to clean up the streets from the weak rappers flooding it.

In the past year she has been around many platforms and performing at various shows. At some of these she used to share the stage with the infamous Whinn Queenz. I’m back also serves to assert that she is not and has never been a part of the exotic dance group Whinn Queenz. The song has a catchy hook and uptempo trap beat. Production is a collaboration of K-Switch and K-Bling. 

Overall rating. I give the track a 3/5mics. Note could havrbeen done with production and lyrical delivery. Lee_Zie is potentially one of the hottest fencers to hit the sound waves. Hope to hear note from her.

I don't care by Saint Africano: The Review

Artist: Saint Africano

Track: I don’t care

Production: Iam_Dozzic

Label: Movement Records

Saint Africano, formerly known as King Man-Bee, released this track in late February and used it to announce his change of name. This is probably a good move as the previous name would have anyone fooled and take him as a Zim Dance hall artist. Not taking away anything from the two genres it’s only fair to have a clear identity as to where one stands and what they want to present.

The track fades in a real dope instrumental reminiscent of the Lexx Luther days. It has some hard kicking 808s and good melody. I totally appreciate the sample lead string underlying everything. The hook is all about attitude. Saint here is stating his case that he doesn’t care about people’s opinions, whether they ever heard of him nor how high in the industry. It’s a simple rap along to chorus that fits well with the beat.

Saint says he only respects Kats who make money move. He is all about action and disregards the other rappers who he claims are all talk. “Step in my way I’ma beat you with passion.” this passion is evidenced in his energy when laying them bars.

“I’m flames a thousand degrees.” The energy gets more intense in the second verse. The attitude presented here is that of a hungry emcee looking to tear is way to the top. Saint Africano’s delivery reminds me a lot of the south side rapper Ace Hood. He is currently working on an album that looks to have this much energy and hopefully seal his place up the bottle neck of Zimbabwe’s mainstream.

Overall rating of the track: I would give him a 3/5 mics. It’s a good song and I see a lot of potential in Saint. Hopefully good things are coming to the airwaves.

Lights Out and Richie F Ginde Challenge Review

Artists - Lights Out and Richie F

Track – Ginde Challenge

Production – MZTV

https://youtu.be/f-Yx5lpKKJQ

By fire by force. The words chanted at the beginning of this latest musical challenge within the Zimbabwean border. The idea of a #challenge is to invariably promote the original track whilst getting as many alternative versions by various artists who take up the challenge. ‘Ginde’ is no different.

 

The rap duo of Lights Out and Richie F has done much to make a name for Mzilikazi in the Hip Hop circles of Bulawayo. The hood has produced many big name celebrities in fine arts, sports, performing arts and traditional music. The rap duo also brings in a modern art and have made quite an impact. 

Accepting the challenge, Lights and Richie go all out in their rendition. They talk about the hard labor involved in being relevant to the streets and taking chances in order to establish oneself in the game of Hip Hop. Richie says, ’Fortune favors the brave,’ and describes how he has been working hard to earn money from his trade. He cleverly switches languages from English, Ndebele to Shona to flex his prowess of the local lingo. Good verse and deliveries for the times present.

Lights Out is al about representing his hustle and carrying his hood on his back. “Indlela le ng’yazcentela.’ Lights says he was given a skill and is using it to cut his own path. He refuses to follow trends set by others. With this challenge he has made certain that his people know what he is about with his music and where he is going. “Ngingena njengo ED. Straight to the top no CV,” if you know you know, you know.

The video is a display of ‘Ukutesha.’ Grinding hard for these streets represented by the industrial scenery. You can tell the meaning of Ginde, by fire by force just by watching the video even on mute. The essence of the track is well presented. Nuff respect to the duo for going as far as doing a music video for what some may see as a mere challenge. 

Overall rating for this challenge is 3.5/5 mics. 

I respect the hustle and I respect the effort. Keep working hard and believe in your craft.

Mzistozz Mfanafuthi 'No more games' Review

Artist: Mzistozz Mfanafuthi ft R.Peels, Easy TRT, Mr Kata 

Track – No more games 

Beat by: Skido Flex 

Production: Innora Music Records 

Released 1 may 2020 

Link: 

https://youtu.be/_wwrhN5oWM

  

Mzistozz dropped his first single, ‘No more games,’ on the first of May taken from his upcoming album titled ‘Iroboriya.’  

Mzistozz Mfanafuthi is a young and upcoming Ndebele rapper hailing from the City of kings, Bulawayo. This single shows how diverse he is as a musician featuring three different types of rappers, that is, the fast growing rapper and entertainer from Chitungwiza R. Peels, Zvanhuwa Fashion founder and Changamire award winner Mr Kata and Easy TRT based in Entumbane Bulawayo. The beat is composed by Skido Flex, who is known for productions from artists in various genres.  

The track’s hook samples an outdoors children’s game with the words,” amina, amina kadeya.’ Mzistozz infused this into the song so that he may be able to reach a wide Zimbabwean audience even abroad and so that the locals can relate. The song is currently getting air play from Khulumani FM and SkyzMetro FM. 

The track is average. Nothing too significant about it. I liked the features although they then tended to flex a bit too much on the track. 

Overall Rating: 2.5 mics

NguDoni Ginde Challenge Review

Artist: NguDoni 

Track: Ginde challenge  

By fire by force. The words chanted at the beginning of this latest musical challenge within the Zimbabwean border. The idea of a #challenge is to invariably promote the original track whilst getting as many alternative versions by various artists who take up the challenge. ”Ginde’ is no different.  

NguDoni is one rapper who hast taken up the challenge with ulterior motives. NguDoni wants the whole of Zimbabwe, especially those in the city of Harare to know that he does not bow down to anybody. Having reigned supreme on a Bulawayo’s soil in the last year on a popular Hip Hop platform, Live bars on Rap Lab on a local radio station, NguDoni goes on to reiterate he ‘is still the Mzilikazi boy, a Byo Warrior’ and take on the whole of H-Town if he has to.  

He also does some serious name calling and accusing some of the popular mainstream brands of lacking actual talent but making solely because they friends voted them in. Bulawayo has come to be known as the Hip Hop capital despite all major radio stations, TV channels and Promoters being based in Harare. For the love of the art, Hip Hop has maintained its roots in the City of Kings. NguDoni here is very much against the idea that Harare rappers act like they in the lead and can spit better when both cities are putting in as much effort. 

This is not the first time Harare has tried to stamp its mark in Bulawayo. However it goes, Harare tends to find the going difficult when taking down Bulawayo.  

With this track in particular, I quite much enjoyed the gritty punches thrown towards all would be challengers. NguDoni asserts his post as the apex beefactor when it comes to battle tracks. A clever line in construction, pun and real life reference is the following: “I’m like Rocqui Josphat what he does with his kids, on the mic I keep coming it’s never enough.” This a bar. If you know you know.  

Overally I give this track a 3/5 mics. The flow is good although I feel NguDoni switched up and down one too many times. It’s a challenge though. No we await to see who throws one next.

Rockie DoUb Ginde Challenge Review

Artist: Rockie DoUb  

Track: #GindeChallenge 

 

By fire by force. The words chanted at the beginning of this latest musical challenge within the Zimbabwean border. The idea of a #challenge is to invariably promote the original track whilst getting as many alternative versions by various artists who take up the challenge. ”Ginde’ is no different. 

“Top five if you ask me, even a ni**a looking for assists couldn’t pass me.” What an intro. Rockie DoUb, the man currently on fire. Having released his sophomore album on the 20 th of February this year, he has been making moves to promote his brand and to keep growing as an artist. Rockie now has a rocking video and a chart topping single despite the current lockdown conditions.

Having worked with Asaph before probably prompted him to take part in the challenge as well for a bit of a flex. In this track Rockie goes all out rapping. Utilizing that unique Bulawayo bar for bar approach, he goes in hard and really shows why he is currently at the top of his game. He encourage other rappers to ‘stop trippin like newbies, it’s all god’s plan.’

I particularly enjoyed the delivery. If Rockie were to deliver with this much power and flex I am sure he would get all the more respect from the streets who acknowledge him as the hustler. Nuff respec’ to Rockie for to spreading the love and giving a shout out to his hommies who are also putting in work.

My overall rating for this track is 3.5/5 mics.

Mlue Jay's Shooter video review

Artist: Mlue_Jay

Video: Shooter

Links: https://song.link/i/1488014019

Twitter: https://twitter.com/mlue_jay

Instagram: @Mlue_Jay

Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/mluejay

Website: www.ywlentertainment.tk

Mlue Jay is one artist from Zimbabwe that I have mad respect for. He take his art and his brand real serious. This gives you the impression that he knows what he is doing, where he is going and how he will get there. This was evidenced in his 2019 grind where he switched to sharing his through music store links. This is beneficial to the artist and for future endorsements. Mlue is now currently based in South Africa and seems to be doing well there for a bubbling act.

The video for the track ‘Shooter’ was shot in South Africa through YWL Entertainment. Mlue edited most and color graded the video himself. This shows how much knowledge one can have when they are in the arts industry as contrasted to letting others handle everything when you know nothing. This is also in line with the theme of the song. 

In ‘Shooter,’ Mlue talks about the need for independence as artists. He praises his own moves in learning more about his trade. He narrates how he has big dreams and is working to build a good life for his family. Promoting independence from external influences like record label, promoters and some sponsors. Mlue Jay here encourages hard work as artists and not to sit and wait for good things but instead to go out and hustle them out.

I would say the track is a good song although he could put in more effort on his lyricism. The video is good with a side story to it and the clips were neat and well balanced.

Overall rating: 3.5/5 mics
