The ZimTainment

As far as making good love music that resonates with people’s lives, it appears controversial dancehall singer, Qounfuzed, has made his mark and is continuing to set the pace, if his brand new song, Wakandigona, is anything to go by. 

Following the launch of Sauce Boys, a clothing line owned by a University of Zimbabwe student Kingstone Zimunya, Yung Nate and P Nash have come up with a new track endorsing the clothing line.



The track is simply titled Sauce Boys and was produced by Vic Enlisted and the China based Pro Sounds Mangoma, hence the EDM feel to the track.

The duo highlight their lyrical prowess with hard hitting 24 bars each.


Yung Nate went in first with an all English verse that is appealing to the typical hip hop lover while P Nash mixes vernacular and English to give a striking a balance to the track.



Yung Nate is currently working on his mixtape, Epiphanies of Nirvana which is set to be released in August this year. This is to be his first to date and it is to be recorded at Enlisted International Studios where he is currently signed.

Award winning choreographer and dancer John Cole and upcoming artist Paul Martin's work relationship is in limbo, after the latter allegedly breached an agreement that barred him from using video clips with the former’s dance routines to create a full-length music video.

John Cole

In an interview with The ZimTainment, Cole said that they had only agreed to do short clips, but was surprised when Martin decided to do a full-length video, which he had not paid for, behind the choreographer’s back.

“Since he is an upcoming artist, we had agreed to do a ‘three-minute snippet’ video, but suddenly he started talking of a full length video, which we had not agreed on and he had not paid for,” he said.

Cole said Martin was refusing to take down the footage, which he posted on YouTube, after he had requested him to do so.

Paul Martin

“Martin is refusing to take down the video and I feel he is making use of my intellectual property. He is going to make money out of this video and I am not going to get anything from it,” he said.

Although Martin had offered to pay more for the video, Cole said the issue was now beyond repair because Martin had insulted him.

“I do not want his money anymore, not after he insulted me,” he said, adding that the upstart was now trying to turn his dancers against him.

Martin, however, denied the claims saying he had agreed to take down the footage although he never used any of Cole’s dances.

He accused Cole of trying to damage his reputation over an undisclosed vendetta.

“He asked me to remove the footage that had his dancers on it and I did. I think he is trying to tarnish my image because of a grudge he has with me from the past, but which I am not even aware of,” Martin said.

Cole accused artists of taking dancers for granted because they felt they did not add value to their music.

“I have been choreographing for a number of artists. This is not my first time coming across such people and I realise that these artistes don’t take dancers seriously. They think they are more important than us,” he said.

So Friday the 17th of March might be one of the days to remember in the Zim Hip Hop fraternity and do you know why? Well let me break it down below and I'm obviously going to call a spade a spade.

Kambo Boys

Talking about consistency in Zim Hip Hop, young Scrip Mula has become a force to reckon with after dropping his latest video titled Maria Musande.

Scrip Mula

Ever since the young king dropped the video for Christopher Columbus, he has managed to keep his mojo and stayed relevant to the game.

With Maria Musande out now, there are some speculations in the streets that the kid is arguably the king of trap in Zim Hip Hop, and there is probably no one to argue that.

Maria Musande has already become an anthem and it's already on the charts on some local radio stations.

If you haven't watched the video for Maria Musande yet, you are missing out on some of the doppest visuals to be dropped in 2017.

Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Don't forget to share with your peers.



DO YOU AGREE THAT SCRIP MULA IS THE KING OF TRAP MUSIC IN ZIMBABWE?

Mayweather and Mutariswa

Top Zimbabwean supermodel and rapper, Moe Makaya, who is based in the United Kingdom, was on Saturday rubbing shoulders with one of the most popular and richest sportspersons in the world, Floyd Mayweather, at a charity event in Birmingham.

Moe Makaya and Floyd Mayweather

The event, which took place in Birmingham at the ICC, was called The Floyd Mayweather Las Vegas Charity Ball and was hosted by Makaya’s modelling agency, Merrimaid.

In an interview with The ZimTainment, Makaya said she was overwhelmed to be in the presence of Mayweather, who pulled a long shadow over the world of sport.

“I had the pleasure of meeting him and he is an amazing person. He was very humble, motivating and polite. He also answered a lot of questions from the audience regarding his life career, which is equally inspiring,” she said.

The event was organised by a company called Fighter UK to raise money for charity, but guests were able to meet Mayweather.

“My team and I networked with many corporate people and millionaires, but also took care of Floyd and his team and helped with the auctioning on stage, raising a lot of money,” she said.

Hollywood superstar Will Smith made a surprise visit to one of the seven wonders in the world, the majestic Victoria Falls on Thursday afternoon


Word on the street has it that the Man in Black star was having a good time in the resort town and contrary to some reports, it is said that he was in the Zambian side and not the Zimbabwean side.


Thus Will Smith did not visit Zimbabwe.

Remember those guys who always look sideways when you ask them for money to buy dash or ice blocks when you are having a drink up? And all they do is just drink and tell you rowdy stories until they are drunk.


Well hell has broke loose for them as T1 and Mile have dropped a brand new jam castigating every ish that these freeloaders do.

Apparently the track which is titled MaPoacher is T1's second single for 2017 and it was produced by Mclyne Beats working hand in glove with Vic Enlisted.

This is a dope jam and a must have on your playlist as both artists put in their all in making sure they drop a bomb.

As we wait for T1's album let us vibe to his latest song.


By the way, if these 'MaPoacher' ask you for the song, just give them no worries lol.

El Deeper, a rapper from the award winning group Yedu Entertainment has just dropped his first single for 2017 titled Red Mercury.

After producing the music video for ExQ's 'Bhachura' (which was rumoured that he got $100) Vusa Blaqs became the most sought after guy with different artists from different genres lined up for his services.

Vusa Blaqs (Pic: Facebook)

After only a short stint which saw Vusa producing two fire videos (ExQ's Bhachura and Ammara's Watchu want) Vusa took to his Facebook page to announce that he was no longer shooting music videos.

Today I'm on my last shoot. No more music videos. My heart is heavy but it has to be done. Thanks to all the stars that gave me a chance to work with. It's been a truly electrifying experience. God bless you all, he said. 

There were mixed reactions among his supporters as some were touched by the news and others tried to comfort him so that he can keep doing what he does best.

Blaqs who is sometimes accused of not meeting deadlines is currently sitting on a number of unreleased projects which include those of Takura, Tehn Diamond, Fungisai, Killer T, Tammy and ExQ.

From the looks of it, it seems as if Blaqs is not benefiting much from his work besides the fame which he acquired.

We hope this is not the end of it all and Blaqs will be back again with some more wonderful works.

Mami Dred on set

Local music producer - Verseless Philo is set to change the Hip Hop game and from the look of it, many people are expecting good serenading music this coming month. 



The versatile producer has roped in six talented artistes to come up with a group known as Veryus.

The artists' names are as follows:

Chengeto Brown
Fluid
Marcques
Mile
Rue
uBu
Verseless

With a plethora of familiar names involved - who already have been establishing promising careers as individuals, it is needless to say that it should make things exceedingly interesting to see how they progress, working together.

'Veryus' will be serenading the masses with singles from each member from the 1st-7th of March 2017, all of which are produced by one of the group members and the producer spearheading this movement into its inevitable success, Verseless!!

This should make for an exciting year-defining moment in redefining musical excellence!

Africa's finest and he's di baddest, summa call him Jamaican coz he's di baddest!!!

Nutty O (forefront)

If you are a Zim Dancehall fan then you must know who we are talking about.

Just after joining Military Touch Movement, Nutty O has drooped his maiden video under the record label.

The video is titled Bugatti and for your own info it's not about Bugatti the car.

Nutty O who mainly sings in patois talks about how he was sidelined by many Dancehall personalities because he does not sing in Shona.

Zvakatanga pa new year vachiti mfana we patois haalume (it started on new year when they said the patois kid will not win)

He also thanks Jah Prayzah for noticing pure talent and promised to take Zim Dancehall to international market.

Dj Tamuka and ExQ can be noticed in the video which shows a real ghetto scenery which many will relate to. Also, S/O to Blaqs for the visuals.

We are not going to dwell much on the video and let you be the judges. Watch Nutty O's Bugatti video below.

 

This is Queen Vee performing 'Nobody' produced by gTbeats.

 

The ever talkative Mwana waPharoah a.k.a R Peels has blessed us with visuals for his freestyle titled Really Wishing.


Like always, Peels will be throwing jabs on this joint as he challenges his peers to try him in whatever way they want.

Part of the chorus goes like, "I really wish you could try me/ Ndini ndega ndine strategy..." as he claim to walk his talk on his brand new joint.

The video was shot by The Donut Shop.

We are going to let his music do the talking now. Please rate it and share with your friends on social media.

Watch the music video below.

It has been a long time coming since the U.S based rapper Kapital K has dropped a full project and now he is back with a new mixtape titled it feels good to be home.


People who have downloaded this mixtape have described it as Kapital's best project up to date and as The ZimTainment we have decided to let the music do the talking.


Listen to Kapital K's new mixtape and tell us what you think. Do not forget to share with your friends on social media. Your feedback is vital.

The much anticipated #TehnOuttaTen tour started off on a good note at Stars night club this past Saturday and it seems as if Tehn and the crew lived up to the hype on delivering a great live performance.

Ammara Brown and Tehn Diamond performing at Starz Night Club

Reigning NAMA outstanding female musician Ammara Brown alongside Simba Tagz and Thaiwanda Thai are expected to rock Mutare this Friday before they head to Marondera as the Diamond boy commence with his tour.

Golden Peacock Hotel [Mutare] is the place to be on Friday and sources say it is secure and have state of the art air conditioners as well as a huge parking space.

This weekend seems to b a busy one for Tehn Diamond and his crew. We hope people will turn out in large numbers and witness some of the best Hip Hop performances.

Well it seems as if Stunner's track which Olinda last spoke about on her Facebook Live video is one hell of a hit and I tell you, it's a must have on your playlist.



After all had happened, Stunner teamed up with Dancehall chanter Guspy Warrior to come up with a track titled 'Ndoenda' in which he deciphers what he thinks his ex-lover should have done.

Stunner went in with his heart and expressed how he felt about his previous relationship.

He admits he was wrong but castigated his ex-lover on the actions she took over their issues.

Instead, Stunner suggested that she should have at least asked what he had done and come up with solutions than to go public with the issue.

"Ndoenda, unondikwidza blood pressure every time ndiri around you (I'm going, you raise my blood pressure every time I'm around you)" is one of the lines in the new track which the rapper has dropped.

Guspy Warrior showed his genius side like always by giving a dope touching chorus with his sonorous voice.


PS: One can get emotionally attached to this song if played excessively.

Stunner is one of the best entertainers of his time and he has been releasing good music, among the songs some hits which were sing along. This song is probably a hit.

Multi-award winning rapper Desmond “Stunner” Chideme is nursing wounds after unidentified people assaulted him outside The Volt night club last night.


A picture of a wounded Stunner surfaced on social media fuelling speculations that he had been beaten by people sent by his ex-wife Olinda Chapel with whom he is at loggerheads.

It was after Stunner had performed at The Volt at Ngoni Kambarami's album launch, however, professed ignorance of his attackers’ identity.

What Stunner could only say was that, "I don't know who they are."

Many people are assuming that it was Olinda who sent people to beat up Stunner as she had mentioned something related to that on her Facebook Live video.

“Desmond Chideme you will ask for forgiveness today. I am going to show you the power of money,” she fumed.

In her Facebook video, Olinda appeared to be instructing a man (whom he called her brother, Ian) on the phone to go and do whatever he could to Stunner, as well as collect all property belonging to her from their Greendale residency.

“Do not kill him, but do whatever you want because he is evil,” she instructed the man on the other side of the line.

Although it could not be established if those are the assailants that attacked Stunner, the caller on the other hand appeared to be insinuating the use of “State agents” to deal with Stunner.

Meanwhile, the UK-based mother of two has sensationally alleged that Stunner impregnated his teenage girlfriend Dyonne Tafirenyika and influenced her to abort.

She made the revelations in her series of fresh videos on Friday.

“Desmond, you are evil, getting another girl pregnant while you are married, then you make her abort,” she claimed.

“Making someone abort, is it even legal to have an abortion in Zimbabwe?” Olinda questioned.

Olinda has since deleted her Facebook video which she was instructing 'her brother' to do whatever he wants with Stunner.

You know when you have a lot of people hating on your grind and progress all you have to do is act as if you don't give a F and all their hatred will be irrelevant.


Talking about hatred, Chronnic, Jay Tee and the queen Mandy have dropped a jam dedicated to those who waste their energy on hating people.

The track is titled Keya Keya and is taken from the old school childhood sing along chorus 'Keya Keya don't keya' (don't care).

Mandy whose sweet voice can make anyone stop what they are doing was on the chorus and the two guys Chronnic and Jay Tee dropped fair verses which relate to the track and can make you nod from the onset until the track finishes.

Teenash and Drebash did their best on the production side to make sure they come up with something you can enjoy.

The track is fairly good and I think it's one of those which you need to have on your playlist those days when you feel like you don't give a F.

Stream and download Keya Keya on the link below. S/O to Chronnic, Jay Tee and Mandy for dropping a good sing along song.
 

After we thought everything is now done and dusted between Olinda and Stunner, the former made a comeback to Facebook Live when she realised Stunner's girlfriend, Deon aborted her pregnant which belonged to Stunner.


Olinda who looked so bitter in the video also learnt that the two were meeting and sleeping in her own bed.

This all came after Olinda got hold of Deon's WhatsApp chats on a phone which she had been given by Stunner.

People who were watching the live video managed to witness a couple of guys who called on the phone as they wanted to talk to Deon.

Olinda later ordered her brother to go to Stunner's house which she was paying rent for to take everything which she bought, from cars, phones, clothes and even teaspoons lol.

20:18

Stunner calls Olinda shouting at her and telling her that no one is pregnant and that she is disrespectful.

Coming from hibernation, boy band Antivirus crew are back with a banger and this time it features the award winning Luveve boy Cal Vin.


The video is titled so fly and from the way we see it, it's LIT AF.

It's all lights, camera, action as the boys decide to meet at a photoshoot with some beautiful girls but before they do that they hit the shops for some liquor.

The highly stylised video shows them shirtless Antivirus kids showing off their tattoos, funky hairstyles and of course the swag.

For a moment people were starting to ask questions whether the boys can still flex but like always, one of the major highlights of the video are the well choreographed dance routines which they pulled off.

Cal Vin who meet the boys at the shops dropped a fire verse like always and one will obviously see why he is one of the most sought after rappers in Zimbabwe right now.

So fly video is fly just like it's name, just expect beautiful people, well choreographed dance routines and obviously the swag. Get into the video below.
