It's a new week, so you know what that means! No, we're not talking about finding new ways to dodge creditors. it's the top 10 Zimbabwean music videos on Zambezi Magic this week! Pole position is taken by TeeMak with his video for Heaven & Hell.
Check out the full top 10 countdown below as well as a playlist of the videos in question:
Jnr Brown songs are like influenza mutations: they don't come around very often, but when they do there is much death. The last Jnr Brown single we saw was Mariia over a year ago. However it seems that potential beef has hurled him back in the studio. And we're not complaining. Beast, Yagidojo and Begotten Sun were involved in production, Sylent Nqo with instrumental contributions and GZE handling the A&R. The song is also available for free download.
Zimbabwean born, South African based artist Thaiwanda Thai has just released his latest offering BAM3 (Bangers and Mashups 3) . The 12 track project is a dance friendly project that sees Thai putting his spin on popular songs like DJ Snake’s Lean On Me, Adele’s Hello, Chidena’s Classic Man and AKA’s Composure amongst others.
House legend Louie Vega has just secured a deal with Sony’s House Afrika imprint to release his latest album Louie Vega Starring…XXVIII.

MAIWE Zvangu comrades and strugglers, Rymez has done it again!! The Zimbabwean has managed to link up with one of the biggest grime acts at the moment Sneakbo and one of Africa’s biggest stars, WizKid on his new single Give It 2 Me.
Zimbabwean artist Kazz, formerly of the duo Bkay & Kazz, but now known as Mr Boomslang (who clearly thinks of himself as some sort of sex symbol), has officially released the visuals for his hit track “She’s Worth It” featuring Ghanaian Sonni Balli. Kazz clearly watched too many violent movies growing up as this new “music movie” features dark terrible themes like torture, betrayal, kidnapping, murder and women with bright red hair. It was produced and filmed by Boomslang Media in tandem with Chalky Videography and additional aerial contributions from Totally Inspired Media.
Attention poverty-stricken comrades! In this month of terror and insolvency, the gorgeous Queen Vee has decided to remind us all of the one commodity we are all lacking by releasing her new single, an ode to currency called Mari Mari. The catchy track features Chibabababa himself, Soul Jah Luv as Queen Vee makes an effort to wrest the attention of the Zimbabwean audience away from old cartoons on ZBC.
Fellow comrades and non-receivers of vehicular gifts, the 2 Broke Twimbos are back once again to knock down global ignorance with the sledgehammer of podcasting! This week, the pair discuss the terrible tragedy of the Kariba Ferry, the ongoing InDrive wars between Harare City Council and e-hailing service users, Thomas Mapfumo beefing with his nephew, why we’re still going to have to go through the humiliation ritual of applying for visas, and how to tell if this was written by AI or not. Enjoy!
