Leonard Mapfumo is by far the Un-Gangster-like Rapper that you will ever know. He is that clean-cut,nice-looking hip-hop guy whom your grandma will love to hear sing.
His soft image makes him so easy to fall in love with especially considering he belongs to a musical genre laden with street-wise hardcore rappers.
Zimbuzz sources can reveal that the rapper is back with a 10 track Album that is set to drop any time this May.
We have listened to a Teaser of the song titled Huwii which his did with Taurai Mandebvu and we are loving the sound.
The Legend goes back to the original Urban Grooves like sound and managed to pull it off on a Kenako production.
It’s refreshing to hear a different Kenako production which of late has become known for the Nigerian-influenced Afro sound.
The melody in the song is a cleary-refined Urban grooves sound that we are sure you will fall in love with.
He has proved to be a rap genius that could resurrect that old sound and have success with it.
He teamed up with fellow urban legend Taurai Mandebvu who did the chorus. The combination is perfect as it combines two lyrical gentlemen,making the song even more desirable.
The two forces are very comfortable in that Love-Songs Zone as they have given us some of the best musical memories to date.
The words are simple yet well put together, Mapfumo starts as he vocalises the intro in the background before Taurai hits the full chorus.
“iti huhwi ndizivewo pauri babe, uripi ndinomira kusvika rinhi babe”
“ndanzwa nekutenderera,kuswero perezeka,ndakamirira iwe…”
But Why Did Leo Leave?
For many years now I have asked myself this question over and over again, of course, he didn’t disappear totally but has been dropping a few singles in between the years.
But bottom line is that he has disappointed.
Disappointing in that we loved him. We expected more. We still do. We hate him for abandoning us.
He became that runaway groom who cowered in the face of commitment, always leaves just before the climax of things.
Dear Leo, I hope this time you are here to stay.
