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.
Multi-award winning rapper Brythreesixty has released his much
anticipated single titled Mail.
The rapper is not a stranger to street anthems and is known for street anthems like
Konzeresa, Shay Baii, Highscoreand
Maswera Sei.
Mail is a typical hip hop track which talks
about working hard and getting money all the time.
The track is also a celebration to the award he
got in Nigeria for Best Collaboration for the track Shay Baii and Best hip hop
Group which was won at Changamire Hip Hop Awards.
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.
Hip Hop sensation, Patrick Kahlari, popularly known as Pee Kay, has struck a deal with local purified water distributors, Oasis, which will see him working as an ambassador for the brand.
Pee Kay with Oasis water representatives
Pee Kay, who is known for his hit track, Tobhigwa Nemamonya, told THE ZIMTAINMENT that Oasis bottled water will now be branded Oasis mvura yemamonya.
He said he was excited at the new deal, which was of mutual to benefit to the two parties.
“I am really happy about the development and what make it charming is that Oasis water is still growing and I like to be associated with growth,” he said.
“The deal made sense because it has something to do with me as a brand and I had stopped making music and was concentrating on developing my brand behind the scenes.”
Oasis’ sales and marketing manager, Tapiwa Muparaganda, said: “As Oasis we believe our Oasis Sport makes sense to make Pee Kay the brand ambassador because the sports brand resonates well with Pee Kay’s image, the Bhigwa Nemamonya and we also believe that our clientele and Pee Kay’s fans can both relate.
“Of course, it’s a brand we’re building, which is edgy and new and modern, that’s the artistic style we believe Pee Kay also has.”
He said, as a young and innovative company, they were planning to compete against major players in the industry, so they needed to be more aggressive.
“We are a young and innovative company, we know for us to be able to compete against the big giants, we have to be more aggressive, we have to move faster and be innovative and that’s exactly we see Pee Kay doing,” he said.
Pee Kay is currently working on some new music and videos set to be released later this year.
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.
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.
So Mudiwa Hood's Slayin video has been trending on YouTube Zimbabwe for the past couple of days and like always people have been sharing what they think of it, either negative or positive.
Mudiwa Hood
Amongst people who aired their views on the video on social media is the veteran rapper and producer Kuda Musasiwa who is better known as Begotten Sun.
Begotten Son had nothing but negative comments on the video, something which caught the eye of Mudiwa who accused B Sun of never liked his ever since he started music.
Below are excerpts of the comment made by B Sun and Mudiwa's response.
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.
The Winning Team featured the award winning Brythreesixty and TiNaYe whom he is also working with on his upcoming EP which dropping in mid February.
The track which was produced by Craig Bone talks about the moves that Travolta has made in the hip hop industry as a rookie and also the obstacles he has faced and how he has managed to manouvre through.
Brythreesixty and TiNaYe jump in with their verses also ranting on how their teams are winning too.
It seems as if no team is loosing (lol).
S/O to Jamal and Thaza Nova of New Rules Entertainment for putting their hands on the track.

So it is now 2017 and there is probably a kid out there who is thinking about forming a Hip Hop group with his or her friends, but, the success of prior Hip Hop groups in Zimbabwe is a factor which the kid will take into consideration on whether he or she should go solo or nah.
Talking of Hip Hop or rap groups in Zimbabwe The ZimTainment has come up with a list of some of the groups which ever existed in Zimbabwe. The list might be too short but if there is any group which was/is left you are welcome to share with us.
Zimbabwe Legit
Although relatively unknown on the African continent, Zim Hip Hop originated as far back as the late 1980s and had the first Hip Hop
group, Zimbabwe Legit, enter the US charts in 1992 with ‘Doin' Damage in My
Native Language’.
In 1991 Chiwoniso met two young Hip Hop artistes Hebert Schwamborn and Tony Chihota and formed one of Zimbabwe's first Afro Hip Hop group, A Peace of Ebony.
They recorded an album From the native tongue in 1992 in Keith Farquharson's studio, with Keith contributing much of the music and production.
2013 was
a year to remember with the formation of one of the best Zim Hip Hop groups to
ever grace the industry. The group was
made up of three talented Hip Hop prodigies David ‘Mariachi’ Chitate, Tatenda ‘Tatea
Da MC’ Nziramasanga and Kevin ‘MC Cut’ Sagomba.
MMT
The name
MMT came from the trio’s initial stage names.
The trio
stormed into the industry and gained so much respect after releasing ‘Zvidhori’
which became their best release though they later released other tracks like ‘party
yatanga’, ‘wake up’ and ‘Ma teams’.
However
the trio has since gone into hibernation and rumours suggest that there is no
longer MMT but in the late 2016 they released a single track (live for today)
which was supposed to mark their comeback but to no avail.
Few Kings
It seems as if 2013 was a huge year for Zim Hip Hop as it was also the year Few Kings (same year as MMT) rose to stardom.
The group was made up of two rappers and one producer namely Tendai 'Tehn Diamond' Nguni, James 'Jnr Brown' Mpakula and Tatenda 'Take Fizzo' Jenami.
The trio which was 'an enemy' to MMT dropped hit tracks like 'Happy' and 'Madrinks' before they dropped one of the most successful albums in Zimbabwean Hip Hop, The Feelin Ain't Fair.
Apparently the trio started working on their individual projects and it is believed that they had teamed up for The Feelin Ain't Fair only.
Jnr Brown has recently dropped fire tracks like 'Tongogara' which was rumoured to have generated a couple of thousand bucks whilst Tehn Diamond is also doing well individually ans is set to drop his much awaited album, The Perfect Tehn.
Legendary and super producer Take Fizzo is still making music at Zion but it has been long since he has made a hit track after The Feeling Ain't Fair.
Masofa Panze
Talk about vernacular rap then you will have to find where the Masofa Panze crew is located.
Blacperl and Noble Stylz
The group is made up of two rappers, Noble Stlyz and the hood queen BlacPerl. The group was formed around two to three years ago after Noble Stylz and Blacperl had competed in the same cypher which had the likes of Maskiri and Sniper to mention just a few.
Noble Stylz came first whilst BlacPerl came second and she was only 16 years of age. That is when the two joined forces.
The duo has since dropped a series of albums, Masofa Panze 1 to 3 which which has seen the duo taking accolades at the Zim Hip Hop Awards making them a force to reckon with.
Masofa Panze is still there and it seems they are the only ones which are still together and they are still making music.
BlacPerl has since dropped her maiden solo album and Noble Stylz has been dropping singles and is also about to drop an album though there is no date for the release.
Other Hip Hop groups which were influential in the rise of the genre were Blazer Boys which consisted of Alkami and Yachi and also DiElectrict Blue which had Upmost and Outspoken.
There might be more Hip Hop groups in Zimbabwe which might not have been mentioned but the above mentioned had an impact on the growth of the genre and some of them are still putting in work to cement their relevance in the genre.
So if you were thinking of starting a Hip Hop group then you should pull up your socks, work hard and make sure you become the best in what you will be doing. Hip Hop is not easy in Zimbabwe.

Signed to Hollywood BASIC, they debuted in 1992 with "Doin' Damage in My Native Language," produced by Mista Lawnge of Black Sheep. Hollywood BASIC shut down before an album was completed, but that lone 12" became a collector's item, one known to fetch hundreds of dollars due to a remix from a young DJ Shadow. (The mix, one of Shadow's first appearances on record, resurfaced on the 1996 Mo' Wax compilation Headz II.)
In 2005, the Glow in the Dark label issued the duo's Brothers from the Mother, including material intended for the unfinished album and other assorted tracks. Two years later, the duo reconvened for the all-new House of Stone (Redline), featuring collaborations with Mike Gee (the Jungle Brothers), YZ, and Vast Aire. Dumi later teamed with Cadence to form Alternate Reality, an act that released a self-titled set in 2011. He also put together a solo album, Connect the Dots, in 2012. - ALL MUSIC
By now most of you must know that Ara Kani is one of the
best, if not the best clothing line in Zim, shout out to uNcube Othungayo for that.
Apparently KamzThxPxpe and Indigo Saint have dropped a joint
praising the clothing label for for bringing the trending and best fashion
clothes in Zim.
We would
like to Thank Ara Kani Co. and uNcube Othungayo, head designer at Ara Kani Co,

Mozambique). Supporting local is key. We have to believe in ourselves because
we are all we got.
