Zimbabwe's gold mine for video views Jah Prayzah has released the video for his first single off his brand new album Mdhara Vachauya, teaming up with Tanzania's gold mine for video views Diamond Platnumz for the song Watora Mari. There really isn't much else to say except fellas it's OK if your girl watches this video several times, no need to sweat it. Jah Prayzah manages to get Diamond Platnumz to try his hand at spitting game in Shona too. Peep it below:
In what can only be described as a scathing social commentary aimed at the greed of the global tobacco industry, Zimbabwean rapper Karizma has released a video that lambasts oligarchs for allowing the scourge that is the Shisha Pipe to take over the world. Karizma waxes lyrical as he complains bitterly that not all women are looking for love, some of them just want to have a good time with him instead. We can really feel the rappers pain as he recounts his experience with a beautiful woman who can't wait to light his shisha pipe.
I may also have misunderstood the song, it could very well be a light-hearted record about nothing more than having a good time. YOU DECIDE! Yung Nash provided the smooth beat and the video was shot by the award-winning Ofentse Mwase Films & RB Films. Check out the video below:
Zimbabwean singer Bryan K (no relation to South African DJ Heavy K or singer Danny K) decided to try a different flavour with his new song, recruiting the production services of Reverb7 to craft one of Zimbabwe's biggest hits of 2016, Heavy Machine. Bryan, whose much hyped first album was full of slower tempo ballads, has clearly found a formula that works, and he has released the lyric video for the song. Check it out below, and shout out to all the dark-skinned, brown eyed heavy machines, 2BT loves you.
In times of great despair and sadness, humans often tend to look back at the good old days to bygone eras where things were simpler and easier.
Hello fellow strugglers and portfolio managers. It has been a long time since I delivered a #PhilOnPhinance blog post. Ironically this was because I was protesting our nations high internet data tariffs and relegated myself to a life of smoke signals...................

Seriously. Not kidding.) as they woo the attention of several mainini's (small mothers). Peep it below, and download the free audio too:
