Feelings In 7 minutes - Trap Fiend review

 



Brand new to the scene is 16 year old Mcnistelroy Tafadzwa Dube from Bulawayo to be known as Trap Fiend. Like a plethora of artists, he began his trade in 2016 when he was only 11 producing beats.

Fast-forward to date, he gave us a single, ‘Let me down’ taken from his debut album, Thank God for the Day, pictured below.

The full metadata of the song is ‘Let me down’ – Trap-fiend produced by TheSky from Denmark. It seems the chemistry between these two is really rich because it resulted in a seven minute wonder. Don’t get me wrong, the song may seem lengthy as compared to the culture these days, it is actually worth every minute. Soon as you here the instrumental and how the transitions are laid out, one is made to remember artists like Travis Scott.


 The song is an expression of his emotions as young ‘un, his conflicts at home, interactions with friends and of course the love of his “life”. The second transition introduces us to the ‘savage side’ of him as an artist and human being. He made this song to be heard.

As part of a bigger project released earlier in 2021, the idea is to show how he started doing music, the challenges along the way and day to day life as a teenager. Trap fiend has promised us and the world should expect more hits, more international features and hopefully some awards too. Looks like the boy is aiming high.



Not sure about the lines of space cookies and delusion, however as an artistic expression this song is complete and wholesome. A bit of work could be done on the mastering and overall production. This track I really good though. Definitely you can play it twice.

 

Overall review: 3.5/5Mics

GodFather Booth on Life and Times with Corona

 

Song title: Father God/Corona times

Artiste: Godfather Booth

Genre: Gospel rap



This could be the evolution of GOSPEL RAP in Zimbabwe. Godfather Booth is that one artist you don’t hear all the time but when he drops something, it will get you thinking.

Godfather Booth is giving us a heartfelt message that he feels needs to be heard. The song relates to the cries that have emanated ever since the onset of the novel Corona virus of 2019. He aims to use this song to encourage people to stay strong during these difficult times. 

This project comes as a call to the Almighty. Godfather Booth is offering a prayer to the One above for a light at the end of the seemingly endless tunnel. The spike in COVID-19 cases in southern Africa has put many on edge. There is no better time to release an uplifting song like this one as now. Booth used a gospel approach highlighting an element of Worship to the Almighty.

 Booth takes the time in a verse to thank the Lord for the gift of Life, his ability to grace the microphone the way he does and his continuous need to grow as an artist and fellow brother in the community.



The song is set to be released on Sunday the 25th of July 2021. I guess his vision is to incorporate it to Sunday worship. Follow him on his social media as he builds up to the official premier of the song.
