Simba Tagz featuring
Ice Prince-Don't Leave (Remix)
Singles
Review
Finally we got to listen to multi-talented artist Simba Tagz remix
to his single "Don't Leave" featuring Nigerian megastar Ice
Prince. The track takes a rather different turn for both artists as t
he track is on a reggae tip. The good bit, the song sounds
different and serves as an artistic challenge to both artists on
whether they could do a genre outside their comfort zone; the
bad bit, for two amazing artists the
track fell short of superb, which is quite disappointing. But in
support of pan-African collaborations, one can listen and enjoy
the song.
This is the first single of Tagz' debut commercial album which is
set to drop next year. The original version of “Don't Leave”, was
on 'The Black' album.

Deep Legendz featuring
Crimson Blu-Summer Sounds
Review
For those unfamiliar with who Deep Legendz is, they are duo o
f 27 year-old, must we add fine club DJs/music producers/radio
personalities namely DJ Eskay (ZiFM Stereo) and DJ Icytat
(Star FM House of Royalty) and current resident DJs at the
upmarket Maestro Restaurant-Lounge. There is no other group
of DJs in Harare who not only love but understand the depth
of house music as these two (you must check out their sets).
Evidently taking the route of most if not all house/dance DJs,
Deep Legendz are giving us a possible hit for summer. Featuring
South African based Zimbabwean female vocalist, Crimson
Blu, the track titled "Summer Sounds" follows through into a
deep wavy sound that one can relaxingly listen to or dance to
with no sweat. So summer here's your song.
