#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.
