TeeMak has released the first of a series of short songs to be released over the next 3 months. In a self-produced song titled Bleak, he tells a story about a girl who lost her way and struggled to find inner peace in a loud and dark world.
Over the next 3 months, the singer will be releasing songs that touch on personal experiences he has gone through in the past year including Love, God, Evil, Depression, Hope and Faith.
He aims to impact his fans lives on a more deep and intimate level and give them a front row seat to his life’s experiences that they can relate to.
“I’ve spent the past year developing myself and horning my artistry. Countless hours of good old hard work, and hundreds of songs later am ready to step back into the music scene. I am proud to say that I have found my spark – my raw true sound. A true me,” he said.

Nasty C – Mad Over You Cover
20-year-old South African rapper, Nasty C attempted what many had failed in so many covers of the hit song MadOverYou by Runtown.

Before Tamy decided to take music as a career she once performed at one of the world’s biggest venues that is Madison Square Garden show, New York USA at the age of 9.
If music was cricket we could have said Tamy is set for a Test series as her Germany tour is not a one-off show but a number of gigs in different cities that include Berlin.
As a way of shifting her focus to what she is regarding as a ‘stepping stone to Legendary’ Tamy blazed The Flame during her send-off show.
Apart from leaving her fans, she tags as ‘TamyCoaster’ with a remarkable show she also released Beautiful Ndozvandiri video produced by Andy Cutta.
Indeed its high time for the songstress to go international, her latest video is a showcase of creativity that can be highly appreciated internationally.
Beautiful Ndozvandiri which was released a while ago and had a good airplay on radio and now it took some Andy Cutta angles and motion magic to make the track sound new.
Tamy never disappoints when it comes to outfits as they are always on fleek, the video undoubtedly counts as one of the best visual productions this year.

Multi-Award Winning songstress Cindy Munyavi has come up with an intriguing concept for her chart-topping song Setter Pace.
In the video Cindy tired of her husband’s ill-treatment, decided to dish out revenge coming in hard for her enemy-hubby

Queen of Swagger Pokello Nare has been dragged into the alleged messy corrupt dealings involving her stepfather and former Finance minister Ignatius Chombo.
Pokello
Pokello, the State alleges, benefited from stolen money which Mr Chombo used to pamper her with a brand new car a Toyota Hilux Vigo.
The vehicle is listed on a charge sheet where Chombo is facing charges of fraud, criminal abuse of office and contravening the Prevention of Corruption Act.
“A Toyota Hilux Vigo black in colour engine number 1KD 9340021 chasis number MROFZ229GX01516518 was imported and supplied in the name of Pokelo Nare of 222 Samora Machel Avenue in Harare,” alleges the State.
It is the State’s case that Ignatius Chombo applied for capital expenditure loans professedly for agriculture equipment but instead used the money for other things including the purchase of the Toyota Hilux Vigo for Pokello.
