For many years, Bulawayo hasn’t been the hot-spot for the outbreak of talent. This however doesn’t mean the city is not gifted as there are a lot of underground artists that fail to get support from promoters and locals.
This has led to some of the artists leaving the city, going where their talent is appreciated. Artists like Lovemore Majaivana, SHASHA, Charlie and many more have moved to UK, South Africa and Canada respectively.
One is left wondering why this is happening in the city of Kings? Don’t the locals support home-based talent? These are questions for another day, but for today we dive into the future of the music industry in the city. We give you the six deeply observed artists that have shown remarkable performances and can shake the industry in the city and Zimbabwe at large.
These artists will surely spark a huge light and namely they are Vuyo Brown, Fish F Ndaramu, Mzoe 7 aka Mr GUGUGAGA, T3rry Tempo aka Bulawayo’s Golden Boy, Msiz’kay and ASAPH aka the people’s rapper.
Get to know about these below:
VUYO BROWN.
A very beautifully heartfelt singer who has beautiful music playing in and around the country. She has a very beautiful soul voice and she knows how to use it and is a mistress in beauty creation.
FISH F NDARAMU:
The Ndaramu trap king, a man who chose to follow and create his own path. His music combines a fusion of trap to his African infused sound resulting to astounding vibes very respected by those who appreciate talent & creativity.
Mzoe7 aka Mr GUGUGAGA:
The deep Afro infused Bulawayo act, with a very deep afro vibe connection. Mzoe if a very creative artist who rips up the stage whenever he performs and he’s performances are implacable. He has the best choreography skills and his music is more than a vibe.
T3RRY TEMPO aka BULAWAYO’S GOLDEN BOY:
The young touch of spice to the Bulawayo industry. The young man came in strong with a hard mix-tape and he promises bigger moves. He tells beautiful love stories, life stories and a lot more through rap and Afro. He has the most beautiful story structuring and creativity and his musical is always implacable.
MSIZ’KAY:
A very eccentric and unique Afro fusion artist with a beautiful African story to tell and a beautiful outlook on life. He has a very unique and captivating style of art that communicates with anyone anywhere. He’s just too good not to love.
ASAPH aka THE PEOPLE’S RAPPER:
He doesn’t need an introduction, he is a trend setter in the Bulawayo hiphop segment, he has the industry in he’s hand. The city has created the best rappers in the city but they all die away all due to the lack and stunted support from the fans and audiences. Asaph seems to have held it off longer than most rappers survive and he is doing a very good job at it. We just hope he doesn’t die out in 3 years time like most Bulawayo Rappers
All these 6 artists stated above have full ability to make it big and even on top of the current greats.
