In 2019 we made Insecure. Spotify wasn't working in Zim at that point so, to monetize the album, we built a website to sell the album. Listeners could either, pay 10 bucks online and get a copy sent to them, or sign up and stream it from the site.
Used to be a time when it was the music first. But now, you have to bruise a few egos to get attention. This is the part where I announce an album huh?
I'mma be performing parts of an unreleased album this Friday from 7.30pm till 8.30pm at the
@Katikitikispace
in Newlands 🔥🌊
I hope to see you there! ❤️
Every month I add one more... "iyellow bone elimnyama, uJohn Wick ongafiyo, iPro Max 25, ilema lika Mamo" 🤌🏽
If unogona lawe wedzera 😁 but in the mean time, which single do you want next?
Writing a 16 is light work. Writing bars over an entire 2 and half to 4 minute instrumental though? Whilst maintaining a narrative, switching cadence, throwing relatable references and being vulnerable?
Friday 26 we drop Girls Like You and we premier it live at the National Art Gallery of Zimbabwe 🔥🤌🏽
I swear this must be the 5th iteration of this song 😂 come vibe with me :)
Free entry for all on top of incredible live music!
Top tier weekend 🔥🌊
My voice is a decibel lower than it was when I left but absolutely worth it 🤌🏽

There are things that I want, and there's a path to those things. You can cheer me along the way or boo from the sidelines, I don't care much either way really. Just don't get in my way.
Kamz introduced me to the concept of 10000 hours and since I try to write everyday
I always tell people that I'm not talented I'm just extremely hard working and determined. It seems effortless now because of the time put in but yeah...
I'll be here for a minute..
The deeper I get into my 30s the less and less I feel the need to pretend. If I don't like you, you will know. If I don't want to talk to you, you'll know. If I don't fuck with you, you will know. It's nice here. I highly recommend.

You need to know who you're selling to. You can't put sparklers on Super and tell me it's Moet. Some people want Super, some want Moet. You just need to know what you make and who you make it for. But don't water down the champagne because we're used to masese.
That's all.
I'm using different platforms to pull people from my content. So it's possible that you see something here, that isn't anywhere else and also vice versa.
Top notch birthday, probably my best one so far 😂 I bought everyone I could shots, I danced, I drank, I fell (apparently) 😂 great company all round ❤️ got a new tattoo and a shout out from Skhonjwa at Red Cafe. I appreciate all your birthday messages. Fun was had ❤️
Best fans in the world ❤️
Your presaves went a looooong way. Thank you!!! My turn to return the favour yes?
Like so that I know to DM you with your thank you gift 🙏🏾
I come to you in humble curiosity. If I were to set up a subscription service like a patreon for you to support my music endeavors, 1) what would you be willing to pay for it, and 2) what would you want for that fee?
I don't know how many people have said it today but to

If kayflow dumbs it down,jumps on trap beats or up tempo beats and slow down the flow he will racking up views & play paJongwe every weekend.Zim masses want stupid easy straight forward bars which is why Ten dumbed it down and can make hits in his sleep. As soon as you put 🧠 ma1

Hoyoooooooooo 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
All the profits from those album sales we took and put into merch. I don't know who was around for "Asila Mali Apparel" or who still has their old tee.

Lol, morale of the story, don't leave your food unattended...
@DenzelLandlord
Zim isn't the only place in the world where people consume music. We'll never compete globally if we keep thinking about what "the masses want" The Zim music standard doesn't have to be lower than the international standard. Also...
When are we going to have a meeting with people responsible for naming South African Soapies?
Isidingo: The Need

Isitha: The enemy
Isiphetho: Destiny
If you want to have a good day tomorrow, you can decide it for yourself now, or let "life" decide for you. Either way, you'll get what you choose. Consciously or unconsciously
