When you think of the number of Zimbabweans who are raising the country's flag high on the international scene you will certainly realise that Zimbabwe has vast talented individuals across the globe. 

Swayz alongside Rae Sremmurd

Yesterday as I was watching Snapchat stories I stumbled upon one Zimbabwean who is living in Ottawa, Canada. 

Swayz is a 22 year old upcoming Zimbabwean artist who is based in Ottawa, Canada and has just released his first music video titled Believe Yourself. 



You can also get his music on iTunes and Apple Music

Inspired by American hip hop techniques in her writing, Mami Dred has just dropped a trap song which can leave anyone dabbing all the way to the 'bizzo'.

Boy Dab is Mami's first release and was produced by Vexblazer (at Tom Donovan's studio) who has worked with atists like Geko on the project Hold On which received a whooping 2 million views on YouTube. 

"Boy dab is a feel good that makes you want to dance and just have fun with your friends. It has a catchy chorus and a banging beat. The hook incorporates American hip-pop techniques which have been very influential in my writing, the verses lean towards grime a genre which I am still exploring", said Mami Dred 

The song has two dope verses in which Mami was flexing her muscles on that trap tip, it is one of those one would want to keep listening to all day. 


The beat was on point and complimented very well with the verses though I didn't quite feel the chorus. 

Boy Dab is a must have track on your playlist, please stream it below and tell us what you think. Don't forget to share.

It's all good news in the Zim Hip Hop fraternity as one of the industry heavy weights Ti Gonzi was blessed with a baby boy.

Ti Gonzi who is overwhelmed with the news took to his social media and broke the news when he posted a pic of a cute baby boy.

Sha

"The baby's name is Sha which is short for Shamwari (friend), I pour blessings on him to be a star, thanks to his mom a star", said Ti Gonzi.


THE ZIM-TAINMENT would like to wish Ti Gonzi and his wife Esther Tendere more blessings in life. We certainly hope the young Gonzi will be spitting bars just like his father.

Multi-award winning singer Cynthia Mare has joined forces with multi-award winning dace choreographer John Cole to come up with what is expected to be a hilarious video for her recent track "Ngoro".

In the video Cynthia stares as Cynthie and John Cole as Tinashe as they play a love story which will probably leave everyone in awe.

From the trailer which was dropped today, it seems as if Dream State Pictures did justice to the quality of the video with bird's view scenes emerging from the onset of the video.

Dance choreographer John Cole is seen doing some funny dance moves in front of his oxen-pulled cart.

By the way, there are also two characters which you would see in the video, Daviti and Goriati. We will not talk about them now.

Please watch the trailer and enjoy, don't forget to share your views. At THE ZIM-TAINMENT we can't wait for the full video which is dropping on the 11th of November.
