Nadia Nakai Reveals All In Debut Album “Nadia Naked”

After many pleas from fans and industry leaders alike, South African rapper and songwriter Nadia NAKAI releases her debut album, “NADIA NAKED”

With the release of the lead single ‘Imma Boss’, Nadia broke the internet with the #NadiaNaked reveal, making the album the most anticipated release of 2019.

Being a woman of many firsts and breaking boundaries as a boss female rapper respected across the globe, Nadia Nakai was the first femcee to grace the cover of GLAMOUR in 2018, the first female rapper to have her Bragga merchandise collaboration with Redbat at Sportscene and she is the first female rapper signed under Family Tree.

Nadia Naked shows us that there is a strength in vulnerability, a side that the rapper is not afraid to share with her fans.

The album is a gateway into her thought-processes and all the unanswered questions are now laid bare in the music.

“What comes hard to me is being vulnerable, writing songs that hit home and are relatable. I want women to see themselves in the stories I tell, and I want to speak on different subjects, from a woman’s perspective.

When you listen to my music it should feel like you are embodying me” says Nadia.

From club bangers to spitting heavy bars, the 17-track album celebrates Nadia’s versatility and flexes her pen.

Executive Produced by Record Label owner and mentor, Cassper Nyovest, other notable producers are Tshego, Gemini Major and Playground Productions.

Kazz and Tytan have a Song for your Girlfriend

Award winning UK based artist Kazz is here with another banger with one of Zimbabwe’s finest trailblazers, Tytan, who recently launched his new single, Pamha

The duo is known for talking the language of love through some dangerously catchy lyrics and “Chimoko” comes as no surprise.

Chimoko is a word from the Shona language which is slang for girlfriend or attractive girl, and that’s what the song is about.

“It’s a beautiful dedication to all the girlfriends and attractive women in our lives.
It’s an infusion of summery melodies, with a dash of flirtation and a lot of sexy all in one.

“The ladies are gonna love this one! And fella’s, don’t be shy to dedicate this to your Chimoko,” said Kazz.

The track was produced by the talented Ben Changa of 4D Entertainment.

Warriors threaten to boycott Afcon19 opener

The AFCON 2019 opening match between hosts Egypt and Zimbabwe hangs in the balance following revelations that Zimbabwe players want to boycott the fixture.

This follows the non payment of allowances promised to the players.

According to Zimbuzz sources in the dressing room,temperatures are high and tense as ZIFA tries to sweet talk the resilient Warriors.

“Zifa lied to the boys that they will pay them their money,” said a Zimbuzz source.

“They have not honoured their agreement and the funds that were gathered at the Fundraising dinner didn’t reach us.”

Zifa had agreed to pay the boys usd $9000 each upfront before the Nigeria match but it was never paid.

The remaining usd $6000 was to be paid from the money that was fundraised by President ED.

Instead Zifa opted to fly board of councilors and their unknown hangers on and booked them in luxurious hotels in Egypt without paying the players any cent.

Another source added that unless President Mnangagwa intervenes,the nation faces a global embarrassment.

The match between Egypt and Zimbabwe is already sold out.

Leonard Mapfumo & Tererai Combine Years of Experience on new EDM song

Leonard Mapfumo and Tererai Mugwadi have always been, and will most likely continue to be one of Urban Music’s all-time favourite artists.

Theirs is a well documented musical history, between them they share an isname amount of number one radio hits.

The two have hatched another potential number hit but this time on a rather unfamiliar genre of EDM.

Whilst the genre is a world phenomenon, very few local artists have treaded that road.

Killed it they did!

This was golden Tererai in her finest form and Mapfumo at his rap best.

The song Masimukiro seems to be addressing the topical issue of mental health/depression judging by the video caption and other scenes in the video.

“..finding hope when it seems like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Inspired by the struggle that artists go through when no-one is looking (Double HP),” reads part of the video caption.

The song and lyrics tap into the pulse that controls our emotions with the melody melting right into your soul.
