30 years of growth, resilience, and strength. It's been a journey filled with challenges, but through it all, I've learned to rise, adapt, and never back down. Grateful for the lessons, the battles, and the victories big & small. Here's to embracing this next chapter

Let’s start with the buzz.

We had movements like “Bigger Than Hip Hop.” Every artist was looking forward to it, and you wouldn’t dare miss an edition.
Thorne was one of the key pioneers, and @nabothrizla made sure the underground rappers were well represented, both in the streets and in the media. We had DGV Rap Battles—every emcee wanted to prove themselves as the top lyricist.

The late Unsung Hero, King Cal, brought us MIB (Made In Bulawayo), and every season it unlocked fresh talent. It didn’t even happen in the city center—it reached as far as Luveve. People showed up in numbers to support the movement.

@StarMichy and her team gave us the Annual August Rush. That event was special. It was a meeting point where the old school met the new school. You’d see legends passing the torch to the next generation. The vibe was real.

Excellence Music Records (EMR) held shows almost every week, focusing on emerging talent. That’s where you’d discover some crazy budding artists, and the quality was undeniable.

On the collaborations side:

The late Cal not only shone on his own but shared his spotlight with many of today’s most known rappers—that was true leadership.

We had an era of fire collaborations. For example, Ndirimambo by Tha Dawgz, @AsaphAfrika , and @fishfndaramu; Vibe is Correct with Asaph and Vic Jita; Monate Fela with @RockieDoUb , Asaph, Tha Dawg, and Vic Jita. @kbrizzy_bermuda’s Cashmere Album had so many heavy hitters on it. Dweezy Bwoi Wonder was killing the charts. Then there’s @friendsofindigo, Blaq Diva Quin, and many more. It was a competitive and exciting time—this is what gave us hope.

Music stables were key:

@p2daoh , a well known hip-hop/producer, he had a number of good projects and artists raised under his stable.

EMR was known for consistently uplifting young talent, dropping collaborative projects every quarter.

Hit Em Hard had Mc Troy, Skido Flex, and others who kept the city alive.

Certified Music Records dominated the charts, often holding 10 out of the top 20 songs on any given show.

Kontrol Tribe, under King Cal’s leadership, made sure we knew every artist in the stable.

I’ve only mentioned a few, but the list runs deep. Each movement and stable had its own niche, with their own demographics and fan bases. You could see the connections and structure in their collaborations—everything made sense.

If we talk about club DJs:

You’ll notice that names like Mark Vee, @bryce_dj_klasiq, DJ Prince Eskhosini, King SG, @Blakawt , @KeadWikead @djsibbsapollo are among the few still spinning hip hop in local clubs.

If you listen closely to their sets, they’re still playing tracks from artists who made waves before COVID-19. This shows a clear disconnect between the new school and other key industry players.

Now, think about this: if the likes of Thorne, Naboth, Indigo Saint, @Awakhiwe_ , @NoluntuJ, @boynino97 , @poyproudofyou , @AsaphAfrika KBrizzy, @LamasEllz , @da_kudu , Lyden, @StarMichy @MarkVusani and other long-standing, active names decided to bow out, who from the new school could step up? Who’s ready to fill that gap?

It’s not just about filling the gap musically—do we even have new event managers, artist managers, club DJs, quality producers, or bloggers who truly understand our local hip hop scene?

Are they ready and willing to carry the torch forward? It feels like the infrastructure around the culture is just as fragile, with no clear signs of a new generation stepping up to take over.

It feels like, after COVID, the passion has dried up. The names that are still working hard today were around before the pandemic.

Since then, we haven’t seen many new names breaking through, even on national radio stations.

Hear me out, we’re not about bashing our fellow creatives: This is about preserving the culture and recognizing the work put in by those who’ve shaped it.

Without these stories, future artists won’t know where the roots of our local hip hop truly lie.

Brand Or fade
