The ZimTainment

NaGuG

Songwriter and performer NaGuG has released her new song titled ‘Simuka’ which is a celebration of one’s culture and heritage.

On the project she enlisted the services of prolific industry gurus; multi-award winning Los Angeles-based producer, Pascal Guyon and multi award-winning choreographer, music producer and creative John Cole to direct the video.

Nagug says the song Simuka was based from a personal experience.

“As a diasporan, it is inevitable that after seeing the world, you begin to value your culture, history, and heritage much more,” she said.

 

Her years away from home helped her under the richness and value contained in the Zimbawe cultures and value system.

 

“The song Simuka is birthed from this experience. It's me speaking what I have grasped from the spirit of vanhu/Bantu which I have grown to acknowledge and understand better in my years of estrangement from home, over the years. Africa, particularly My Zimbabwe are a proud nation, wealthy in culture and resources, education and much more,” added NaGuG. 

 

The product is vibrant and full of life showing the cooperative work of Zimbabwean young people including, videographers, editors, costume designers/stylists, Dancers, Artists and Dreamers.

 

She stressed that this was proof our young are competent and professional in execution  of projects and that more opportunities should be outsourced to them to build their experience.

 

 

“The video of SIMUKA is amplifying the message of coming together of young people hence I outsourced it to 'young blood' , Zimbabwe's young and vibrant generation to amplify the message SIMUKA. I procured John Cole, known as best Dance choreographer and artist to direct  the project,” said the ZIMA 2022 nominated artist.

 

NaGuG which is an acronym for Nature, Advantage, Gem, Unique and Uncanny and Grand describes her music as soulful and captivating with lyrical depth, that evoke one's thoughts.

Some of her previous work include ‘Back to the Beginning’ and ‘EarthChild’ which were recorded at HubII studios and premixed by multi Grammy winning British Producer, Simon Gorgerly.

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.

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?

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.

Mami Dred on set

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.

 

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.

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.

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.
 

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.

 

Straight from Chitungwiza is Nash Milli who has just dropped his latest hit single titled Against the World and it features R'n'B singer Nyasha Timbe and upcoming femcee Peyton.


The track was produced by Rockboibriezy and mastered by Brythreesixty at GNIK Records.

The song is all about being in love to the extent that one don't really need anyone besides their bae.


We recommend this track to everyone especially in this month of love. Please dedicate this song to your lover on Valentine's



Don't forget to share the song with everyone and remember to send us feedback.

So if you say you are from the ghetto and you love it so much, there is supposed to be a joint for your hood where you'll just be giving props and S/Os to those who make it more fun just like what J Garnet did in his new joint titled Empumalanga.


Produced by Tobby Lee and Brio, Empumalanga is a street anthem that talks about life in the small township of Empumalanga in Hwange.

J Garnet drops a flow that will leave anyone asking for more, the consistency in his rhymes from the onset were just on point.


He also name drops a few girls (probably their ghetto queens) in the middle of the joint and made also made a few skits at the end probably to spice up the track when he asks of where they are going for their drink up.



Stream Empumalanga on the link above and don't forget to share or tell us what you think of this Zim Hip Hop track.

Eighteen year old upcoming rapper, Taylor Wayne has dropped a fire track which featured two international artist namely Pain Killer from Tanzania and Ladele from Nigeria on a track titled Mupaka.


Award winning producer, Fun F who is the producer also featured on the track.

Just like any typical hip hop track, it is all about "changing the game" whereby everyone will be claiming their reign in the hip hop industry.

Mupaka is going to be on his upcoming album titled Diaries of Success and is currently topping the charts in Tanzania where it has been in the Top 10 on Ebony FM.

This is a dope trap track, if you love trap this is a track for you, the guys really came in on the verses.

It is no doubt that christian rapper Mudiwa Hood is one of the most pompous artists that has ever graced our industry.


He has recently dropped his much anticipated video for the track Slayin which was shot by the award winning director Andy Cutta.

Shot at Genius' palace in Domboshava, the video which seems to have no script shows a fleet of cars which most rappers would imagine driving and like always Mudiwa went in an extra mile as he shows off how his wardrobe is.

The guy has a sense of fashion.


In other scenes Mudiwa Hood is seen praying as the camera zooms in to show off his jewelry, I wonder if this was necessary though.

 Anyway, his beautiful girlfriend ( yah she's hella cute) is also seen in some of the scenes as she also slays besides bae.


Basically, the video is dope and that's not a lie. Only if it was scripted well and at least telling a story or something else.

Maybe that's how you 'Slay'.

S/O to Andy Cutta for the quality and dope visuals.

Ndagaya mari, Magaya money!!! A stunning wordplay and similes that will leave listeners thinking whether The Dot is talking about Magaya (Walter) money or Magaya money (thinking about money) in the latest joint which has just dropped.


The Dot caters for a variety of listeners as he dropped bars in vernacular (including Shona and Ndebele) and the layman's language.

Oskid once again showed off his versatility as he came up with a dope beat.
