Coke Studio Producer Young DLC teams up with Shinsoman

Coke Studio Africa 2019 in-house producer, Young DLC has teamed up with Shinsoman and dropped a potential chart topper simply titled Zvane Musiyano.

22-year-old Darlington Chikwewo aka Young DLC is a high flying, multi-talented and in-demand South African based Zimbabwean electronic dance music producer and DJ, well known for being Coke Studio Africa in-house Producer (2017 & 2019), amusic TV he produced for, from Nairobi, Kenya.

Young DLC is based in Pretoria, where he is signed to Sony ATV as a composer and songwriter.

Through Coke Studio Africa, Young DLC has worked with heavyweights like Patoranking (Nigeria), Olamide (Nigeria), AKA, Shekinah, Yemi Alade (Nigeria), Kiff No Beat (Côte d’Ivoire), Rayvanny (Tanzania)

Kaligraph Jones (Kenya), Nasty C (SA), Runtown (Nigeria), Mr Bow(Mozambique), Liloca, Jami Band, Sami Dan, Laura Beg, EddyKenzo (Uganda), and so many more artistes that feature on the show.

The 22 year old “rockstar producer to look out for” as some like referring to him in the industry, started making music when he was 9, taught by his father, a producer in his own right who owns Hatfield based VOJ studios back in Zimbabwe. DLC is studying towards a degree in Music.

During his Zimbabwe Radio Tour in January 2019, Young DLC did promise to work with a couple of Zimbabwean artists.

The first artist happens to be Shinsoman, a popular Zimbabwe reggae/dancehall artist who came to prominence in 2013 with his hit song “Mawaya waya” which was a chart topper.

Shinsoman is also affectionately known as the “Dancehall Father” mainly due to the reference to the term in his song “Pool Party.”

Shinso once featured on Sanii Makhalima’s smash hit “Zvachose”. The collaboration gave him the much-needed exposure that many people began to notice.

The dancehall sensation went on to be signed by Heshi Mufeshi Records. Under the label, Shinsoman released hits singles “Mawaya Waya” and “Bata Panorwadza”.

It is his unique husky voice that made him a force to reckon with in the tightly contested Zimbabwe dancehall genre. Shinsoman broke new ground by becoming one of the few dancehall chanters to sing alongside a live band. He unveiled his band in March 2014.

Speaking about this collaboration, Shinsoman said he looks forward to his new working relationship with young DLC to grow his footprint into the African market.

Young DLC’s manager, Tendai Joe said,” We are always watching what is happening back in Zimbabwe. There is potential to do more with Zim artists and we are impressed by professionalism exhibited by Shinso whilst recording this song.”

#NewVideo: Jah Prayzah’s Chikomo a timeless Prayer

You don’t have to be religious to be affected by the powerful messagae in Jah Prayzah’s Chikomo Song.

Chikomo is the first track off his 2018 Chitubu album, and he digs deep in his spirit to deliver lyrics that shows us that although life is filled with frustrating difficulties and devastating setbacks, God is present and active, working everything for our good.

He gives a brief explanation in a tweet “Everyday we go through life problems and struggles. These problems differ from one person to the other, it might be Hate, Cyber Bullying, Financial or Family problems.

Chakakosha kuziva kuti Denga rina Mambo. Mune zvese tikaisa minamato kwavari tinokunda.”

Shot in Nyanga and Kariba the video shows a tormented Jah Prayzah being dragged by life’s challenges and features a female cast who own every lyric in the song and leaves nothing on the table.

Again he enlists the expertise of Award-Winning experts, director Vusa Blaqs and designer Thembani Mubochwa who made the costumes.

Look out for our upcoming interview with Fashion designer Thembani Mubochwa this week.

#NAMA18: Government postpones NAMAs

The National Arts Merit Awards (NAMA) date has been moved again following a directive from the Government of Zimbabwe to cancel or postpone all government events.

Initially, the NAMAs were supposed to be held on 16 February 2019 and were moved to 23 March 2019 in a move that Zimbuzz suspected was a move to have a grand Tuku tributed at the HICC.

Due to the devastating effect of Cyclone IDAI which has claimed more than 100 lives in Chimanimani and other parts of the country, the Ministry of Youth, Sport, Arts And Recreation has decided to cancel the award ceremony.

“The 18TH National Arts Merit Awards (NAMA) date has been moved to 13 April 2019. As a Ministry, together with our parastatal the National Arts Council of Zimbabwe, we took the decision based on the current national situation of the effects of the natural disaster, cyclone IDAI that have claimed lives and vastly destroyed properties,” read a statement from Minister Kirsty Coventry.

“Cognisant that we are a culture Ministry that values unhu/ubuntu, we saw it noble that we move the awards ceremony and join the rest of fellow Zimbabweans in assisting the affected families.

“My Ministry sincerely apologises to the Sector, Corporates, Events Manager AB Communication, the public and nation at large for inconveniences caused by this development.

We assure that the ceremony will be held accordingly as had been planned at Harare International Conference Centre,” said the Minister.

Meanwhile, voting for this year’s People’s Choice Award closes midnight closes at midnight on 22 March 2019

Poet Munnya features Cindy and Summer Rose in new Poem

My deepest longing for your presence bears no criminal intentions cause every macho of a man and kung fu fighter of a man can never stand ground let Alone take a chance with the arrows of Cupid but who am I to pose a threat and take a chance with the arrows of Cupid… I might as well be stupid.”

Reads the opening verse of Munnya’s poem titled 2 dimensions laden with complex imagery.

He paints a vivid mental picture as he uses graphic narratives to address the topic of a love-stricken man.

The man is unapologetic as he impactfully asserts his feelings through the use of decisive, direct and bold language outpouring his feelings.

/It kinda sucks though cause when you stuck in the friend zone it ain’t too much of a comfort zone cause /  how do you express yourself to someone who cares less on the way you feel let alone your well being for all you know you could be in a state of oblivion/ 

Inspired by Kelly Rowland’s song Be Gentle ft Tiziano Fero the poem is captured in visuals that features Zimbabwean personalities singer Cindy Munyavi and fragrance owner Summer Rose.

Munnya

“Cindy and Summer rose are talented souls from their beauty to personalities all of these defy logic, to be honest and they fit the moulds of what I was trying to portray,” explains Munnya on the signifcance of using the two’s images in the video.

The poet who says he already has about 20 other unpublished pieces explains how difficult it was coming up with poem 2 Dimensions

“The poem itself is about 1000 words long, 5 minutes of pure recitals so the time to record was just over 10 hours and a further 120 minutes editing..so you can imagine the stress the repetition and costs,” he said.

Marvel Apologises for Leaving Danai Gurira’s Name Off New Avengers Poster

Marvel has apologized for leaving Black Panther star Danai Gurira’s name off the top of the Avengers: Endgame poster.

All 13 actors of the main cast were displayed on the originally released poster, but only 12 names were credited.

Actress Danai Gurira’s name was left entirely out of the top billing, and instead cited in small font at the bottom credits.

You might not see at first glance, but fans did not take long to notice her name was missing.

Here’s the original poster.

Following outrage toward the studio’s decision to make the 41-year-old Zimbabwean-American actress the only character to appear on the poster but not have her name above it, Marvel quickly backtracked on Thursday.

“She should have been up there all this time,” said the studio’s official account, while issuing a new poster with Gurira’s name included.
