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.

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

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
