Each track has its own story which will all to connect to the overall theme of the album. 

“Dreams come true if you believe them.” That’s the message delivered in the album’s lead single 3am. It dropped on the 22nd of May and is available on their social media. The song is about the time and energy spent doing what they love, music. Utilizing the optimized time expenditure theory, they talk about how they would wake up at 3amm to put in work and find their way to success. Other tracks to lookout for in the tape include ‘Summer sun,’ ‘So long,’ ‘don’t beshy,’ ‘Ilobolo which features Purple’ and ‘These walls featuring Curtis Dee Rover.’

The album was set to release early June as part of their 2020 plans. One of these is to grow as a producer, that’s Freak’s side and to grow as a name brand, that’s Kuccie’s side. They also hope to work with big artists both locally and in South Africa where Freak’s partner, Teekay Mxoexic, is based. This album is set to open doors and unlock opportunities for them. Look out for more news and the album on their social media.

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.

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.
