NguDoni - A knife in a 'Bar' fight - 'Sgebengu'

The definition

The rap world is known for producing classic music like ‘Dear Mama’ by the late Tupac, ‘Stan’ by legendary Eminem and conscious tracks like ‘The People’ by Common and ‘I salute you’ by KingPinn. However, what completes the 360 Circle of Hip Hop is when heads bump. This is when you get tracks, also classic, like Tupac’s ‘Hit em up’ and Common’s ‘The Bi**h in yoo.’ Bring all that heat to Zimbabwe and it is no different. Especially so in Bulawayo, the city of street kings.

The story

NguDoni, is one artist we have featured here and true to his brand, he has dropped another street gangster track titled, ‘Sgebengu’. Aggressive as ever, the song has the dark themes of gangster rap reminding you of that N.W.A. era. The track has the one element I like about a true dis track, when a brother gets off beat just to get a line in. make no mistake, it’s a well written and researched track based on actual events. 

‘Sgebengu’ , loosely translates to gangster or street hoodlum. NguDoni refers to himself as the protagonist in this track. “Limkhuze! Why lingamtsheli? Lentwana idlala lesgebengu.” This is pretty catchy for a chorus. And what of the bars? NguDoni name drops peeps like Jermain and Bubz, now the thing is this, I don’t even know how relevant these kats are to the hip hop game but seems they are an influence to some he refers to as ‘Fossil f**ks.’ BlakAwt is the one I’m putting my money on as the recipient of some of these ‘strays.’ Check the references to ‘Xolani’, Chakka Dolla and the unreleased 6220 track. All these are are associated to the ‘IAMBLAKAWT’ EP maker. Also, this alleged beef has even been featured in a popular Bulawayo Podcast. Click here to have a listen. 

The credit

NguDoni is clearly not afraid of anyone in the rap game. He has been consistent with his brand over the last half a decade bringing it to whoever wanted it. He has never backed down. One thing I do respect about him, he always acknowledges whoever he has mad respect for. In his list are people like Mlue jay, who also has a new track out, K Brizzy, Breemzy and MC Tytoh. Whether you call this d**k riding or not, its still kinda gangster to know who dope and take down who not. Check out the song on the link at the bottom and follow this saga on social media. 

See you on the next one.
