The ZimTainment

After Charlie Kay had teased us with the trailer of a video for his hit track "Vimbai", I was really looking forward and couldn't wait to press that play button on YouTube.

 A dope script which was blended with dope quality visuals with the director Tatenda Jamera doing what he does best, there was no way Charlie was going to short change us and give us a wack video.

The video starts with the boy Charlie being late for work as a doorman and finds his boss lady by the door as she starts to drop all the rules.


There's background music playing inside the building and Charlie ask his friend hop in and see what was going on, the guy refuses and Charlie hops in.

Upon hopping into the building, Charlie sets his eyes on "Vimbai", the girl who's untouchable and plays hard to get.
 

The lighting, visual effects, pretty girls, raunchy dancing and the fashion all made this video one of the best by our local guys (though it was shot overseas).

The track itself is one which you will fall in love with the moment you set your ears on it, you will literally dance to it in no time.

Charlie Kay did a great job on this video and it has probably become a favourite. Please watch and share your views. THE ZIM-TAINMENT gives this video an 8/10

 

In as much as videos are concerned, there are only a few guys to go to in Zimbabwe and one of them is Rasquesity Keaitse.

Apparently it seems as if many people are now coming on the scene in the quest to support local music in any way possible.

One artist once said that when you are making music from the heart you always tend to come out with something good.

After an overwhelming reception of his track Tafadzwa in which he kind of examined his own sensory and perceptual experiences, Meister decided to bless his fans with corresponding visuals that will leave many who have been through the situation reminiscing about what they have went through.

After weeks of trending on social and print media, the much anticipated Toya Delazy show has been described by social media commentators as a FLOP.


The show which took place at the Harare International Conference Centre (HICC) last Saturday night saw less than 500 people attending the show which made it the most poorly attended show which featured an international act.

One of the main reason for the low turnout was probably the change of the venue. The show was supposed to be held at the Borrowdale race course but was shifted to HICC and this saw many people who live north of Samora not attending the show as well as some sponsors like Heineken pulling out.

Looking fresh and swagged up in a rock 'n' roll attire, Toya tried her best to give an electrifying performance to her die-hard fans.

Songs like Pump it on and My city were sing-along tracks as they were the popular ones to the small crowed which graced the event.

Adding flavour to her performance were her dancers who thrilled the crowd with the half naked white girl making all the boys whistle.

Besides Toya, local act Sharky gave a sterling performance as he opened as he opened for the South African artist. Sharky performed songs off his latest album titled Soko Matemai and left people asking for more.

Sylent Nqo, and Ammara were also at their best with the former getting cheers from the crowd as he literally sang with his guitar. Ammara made the crowd stand with her dance moves as she left everyone in awe.  

Prior to her album release last night, BlacPerl decided to bless her fans with a mini documentary of her debut solo album titled The Blak Diary and the documentary is also called The Blak Diary.

Are you not a fan of independent girls who are strong-willed, vocal in their opinions, and have a sense of humour? Well, we are all obliged to what we believe in and as for me, independent girls are the way to go.


Talking about independent girls, Nib Crouch has recently dropped a new joint titled Maihwe. The track was produced by a fellow 3nican Entertainment member SwayyzBeatz and was recorded, mixed and mastered by G.I.L in February 2016 at 3nican Entertainment.

The track is about an independent, beautiful young lady from the city who causes a stir wherever she goes.

Maihwe encourages us to appreciate women and loving them for who they are, amid the fact that they are popular or not.

This is one track you would not want to miss, please download and share with us other on what you think about it.

From the demarcation of “cool” and “not-so-cool kids” in the Zim Hip Hop industry who are divided by the famous Samora Machel Ave exhume the pseudonyms North and South Samora. North Samora is the low density suburbs where the “cool” kids come from whilst South Samora refers to the high density suburbs where the majority of the rappers hail from.


It is in this light where the EP titled Northsyd by Guti was derived from and it pokes fun at the division between North and South Samora. The EP looks at different aspects of life as encountered by many youths of today.

The first track is an intro to the EP and it was produced by Jinztu Beatz League whose studio is in Mbare. 15 Bill which we featured on this site is the second track whilst Roll comes third on the EP. Roll which Guti wrote on his recent trip to England where he grew up is more of a competitive track against his boys whom he had left behind in Zim.

Track 4 is titled Xugy and is a dedication to his brother who is a staunch supporter of his music. In the track Guti raps about his oans, daijes and rolling blunts as he celebrates fruits of his hard work.

In the track titled dream, Guti raps about how in the north side oans will be balling like it’s the Champions league and exhumes all about his dreams. The Jackass instrumental was used on this track.

“I never stop to get what is mine” is what you need to grasp from the sixth track titled On this side which featured Bronx who is currently in Abu Dhabi. The track is a mixture of bars in English as well as vernacular.

Strokeman and Crown and Spectre make up track 7 and 8 respectively. The latter is sort of a war cry which anyone can relate to with no doubt.

Dreadfort which is track 9 on the EP talks about “the dread” referring to dreadlocks as well as well as the character by Ramsey Boltons on the series Game of Thrones. You should give this one an ear.

Flame Lilly II, 1st Eleven and Stamford Bridge make up track 10 to 12 respectively with the last two having a reference to soccer.

The last track on the EP is titled Lancelot (The dark knight). This is mainly about his belief in energy and positive thinking. “The past doesn't exist and the future is imaginary” is his war cry in this joint.

It's almost a week now after the launch of Gafa Futi and with people still gyrating to the new tunes, social media is still buzzing with the Winky D and Oskid fall out. 

Winky D

Many comments have been passed concerning the fallout between the two, with some suggesting that the whole thing was a stunt and both parties were trying to market themselves prior to the release of the album.

Apparently, yesterday KVG and Phathisani took to their radio show on Star FM to interview the Ninja President on his current success as well as other issues.

One of the main issue discussed on the show was his fall out with Oskid over the removal of the latter's tags from the album.

Speaking on Star FM, Winky D purported that there was a mutual agreement between both parties and the signed agreement did not include anything to do with tags.

Winky D went on to say that the album is a property of Vigilance music and if Oskid wanted to put his tags, it was now advertising, the fact that he is mentioned in some of the tracks is just nothing but credibility.

"The signed agreement stated that Vigilance is hiring Oskid to come and produce music at Vigilance and the music belongs to Vigiance", added Winky D.
 
When asked if he was still in good books with Oskid, the Gaffer said that he is in good books with everyone in the music fraternity unless there are other people who are not in good book with him.

We certainly hope everything is okay between the two parties as their combination has blessed people with some good music.

Winky D has lined up shows in Australia and Botswana soon and we wish him the best of luck.

Two days after Zim Dancehhall power couple Souljah Love and Bounty Lisa's nude pic went viral on social media, the Hove huru hit maker says that he does not need to apologise to anyone over the explicit pic.



After having serious discussions on our WhatsApp groups over the nude pic issue we came up with a conclusion that the nude pic was deliberately leaked to the public though Jah Love says that it was in his old phone which he sold at Ximex.


People on social media suggest that after the successful launch of Winky D's album and the release of Seh Calaz's Vane Ndebvu video, Jah Love is simply looking for limelight.

One WhatsApp user suggested that it seems as if the couple agreed on releasing the nude pic as the way the selfie was taken speaks for itself.

One question remains, did Souljah Love deliberately leaked his nude pic with his on and off wife Bounty Lisa or the pic was in his phone as he suggested?

We would like to hear your views, please share the article or drop your comment below. Your opinion matters.

Having that one person or place where you can go whenever or wherever something has bothered you is something which expected from each and every human being. That is when you hear someone saying, “Todzokera” (we will go back).

I hope you all remember the yesteryear street anthem titled Boys Remukute which had an all-star remix that made many rappers up their game.

Well, the makers of the above mentioned track are back with another banger. Sinbad_90 and his partner in music Dj Krimz have recently dropped a joint titled Todzokera.

The track is Sinbad’s first single off his album The Rap theory-Reversed and was produced at RYT Medias group.

The rapper says that even if life treats him bad and people segregate him, he will still find comfort back home, where he finds real love off the pressures of the world Kunyangwe zvakaoma sei (Todzokera), Kunyangwe vakavenga sei (Todzokera), Kunyangwe zvikaoma sei (Todzokera), Kunyangwe tikadhakwa sei (Todzokera), kumaraini kwedu hakusi kumba kwenyu is what you need to grasp from the chorus.

The first verse goes like, “Block rema OGs two ma leaf nebox rine Two Keys/ Team yakandimirira pabridge, moms vari paden vachindibikira porridge/ Nyangwe ndikagula vanondigila mabandage/” and shows the guys’ street life and how they remember where they come from.

Stream or download the track below and tell us if it is a yay or nay. Don't forget to share the track with your peers.
