Karma
Album
: Chasing
Moments
Artist
: Karma
Genre
: Hip-Hop
Record Label : Mix Masterz
Admittedly, when Karma told us
that he rapped, we were
skeptical about it but the
moment that the Mix Masterz
gave us a listening session of
“Chasing Moments”, our minds
changed and we were hooked.
“Chasing Moments” is
phenomenally, an album that was
well crafted in terms of lyrics and
sound. Karma is a young man
whose depth is beyond his years
and the album carries the true
elements of what underground
hip hop is-thought provoking
and relatable. One can truly find
their moment of ambition,
dreams, struggles and even those
moments of enjoyment. This
album would be first on any
playlist, considering if we are
selling the best of Zimbabwean
hip hop, and we just can’t get
enough of it.
Get it for: If you are true fan of
conscious rap then you will be
“karmafied” with the whole
album because it is that good.
Our favorites though include
the intro, club banger “The
Baddest”, the thought provoking
“Chasing Moments”, “Follow
Me”, “Zilluminati”, “Chasing
Moments” and “Come Home
Sinner”.

Album : Wedzera MaWatts
Artist : Guspy Warrior
Genre : Dancehall
Record Label : Mafia 19/Mix
Masterz
Date of Release: 25 March 2014
Emmanuel Manyeruke a.k.a
Guspy Warrior ,stepped onto
the music scene as the
controversial PK (preacher’s
kid), (Well aren’t they all? No
pun intended!). Yet he has
proven himself to be a focused
artist and this album has
indications that a lot of
thought and work was put
into it. The title track
“Wedzera MaWatts” is
actually an exciting track. As
for the rest of the album, well,
it had its moments of
mediocrity especially
lyrically,(although with
dancehall, one can getaway
with simple jargon, and times,
shallow lyrics); but the album
is an actual competitive
dancehall album and a worthy
buy.
Get it for: The whole album
so as to get a feel of the music.
We recommend that you
listen to the title track
“Wedzera MaWatts”, “Shaina
Shaina” and “Galis”.
