7. My History ft. Shortie & Jesse
Your FREE Donwload – My History
And the hook says what ?
THEY AINT GONNA..
TELL YOU HOW THEY LIVED
THEY AINT GONNA…
TELL YOU WHAT THEY DID
I GUESS I GOTTA…
GIVE YOU SOME OF IT
ITS MY HISTORY….ITS MY HISTORY
And so begins another one of my favourites….its close to me cos its probably one of my most honest and open tracks. I’m proud of it, plus its the first time I rep my home hard…
Okay i’m gonna share with you guys one of my biggest insecurities with pursuing music as a career…while I’ve always loved making music and just lived for performing…I never ever expected to be rapping. My heart was set on singing and songwriting….till according to most people I got “real nice with the words” and couldn’t just quit rap….but then my mum would always bug like “baby why dont you sing anymore” truth is I did still sing and I do….and yea I’m kinda nice with words…
So why not do them both ?
;
Cos you can’t serve two masters…thats what my boy Q. taught me. And for the longest time I fought the urge to do just that, till my mainest DownX whipped out this beat….and the hook just came outta me….and the words just hit the spot and I had to do it….so if you hear the original version of this track its got me singing the hook….but I’m no fool when you know talented kats like Jesse & Xy of RANDOM….you do the right thing and get the big guns involved.

So while I wrote it….Jesses sung it and Xy help get them harmonies right….one of the last things that I recorded for my mixtape was that chorus…cos I desperately wanted Jess on it….but we just couldnt get it together….then like the day b4 the nite we had to mix everything and send it to DJ Kronic to mix it….I hit up the Blackbeat Studios and they did their magic…


Good times. And I couldnt be happier. Mind you the track is nowhere near done. I’m gonna realise the full vision I had for it on my album.
Most of all I wanna try write this song to be the one that really reps for zim hard…..working on a remix with a bunch of up and coming Zim Mc’s that you aint never heard of so stay tuned in….dont zone out.
So this time you dont even get the lyrics for the verses….
Peace,Love & poo poo platters all round…..HUH ?

Get up to Get down.
It dawned on me today that despite the many obstacles in my way, I’m not really doing enough to overcome any of it. I think its cos’ I have a tendency to overwhelm myself with the negative. Which in turn makes me kinda get ahead of myself as far as seeing whats immediately in front of me and either side-stepping it or leaping over.
I dont know why this is the case….but this coming week I’m coming re-commit to figuring that out and DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
I’ll let y’all know how that goes.
Peace.

Now if you don’t know why this track sounds so damn familiar…kill yo’ self now. no realy…jump out the nearest window right this second…or choose life and get your knowledge up below….i cant afford to lose a fan…not just yet anyway
And this one here’s the remix i got that dope beat off of…Statik Selektah is the mantis.
I’ve gotta be all the way real. I was never much of an NWA fan (so maybe i should be jumping out a window myself…hmmm)…in fact I’ve never been a big fan of the Westcoast in general when it came to rap….yep not even Pac. Like don’t get me wrong I respect his passion and straight up hip-hop poetry…but he just wasn’t for me…and i copped a lotta shit all my hip-hop years for that…but I stand by it…he just wasn’t talking to me.
I digress though….so the first time I heard this track though, I dug it immediately…just for the beat…its just such a groove and I can’t deny a groove.
Then when Statik Selektah reproduced that beat and Termanology got at it like last year….I was sold. So yeah I got the instrumental and got at it….And naturally I had to keep tradition alive and start with that classic line…
I’M EXPRESSING WITH MY FULL CAPABILITY
SPENT THE PENNIES THEY PAID ME FOR PACKING PALLETS REPEATEDLY
PURCHASING PRETTY PROPERTY JUST TO PUNISH MY POVERTY
(WHAT ?)…KIDDING COS REALLY THAT SHIT CAN WAIT FOR THE LOTTERY
GOT A WAD IN MY WALLET SO LOTSA WEIGHT ON MY WASTE
HOW TO BURN IT AWAY I’M ALREADY PLOTTING ITS FATE
I COULD BE THE BIGGEST LOSER BUT WIN THE LOVE OF THE PARTY
IF I FIND A PLACE TO TURN ALL MY MONEY INTO BACARDI
OR MAYBE ANY AND EVERYTHING EXCEPT FOR BOTTLES OF HENNY
COS THAT’D MURDER MY MISSION AS SOON AS I GET IT IN ME
AND I AINT TRYNA BE LETTING THAT DEMON DAMAGE MY PEDIGREE
THOUGH THIS BOTTLE OF BUNDY SURE GOT MY HEAD IN A SPIN AGAIN
(STOP ME)……PLEASE ITS GETTING LATER THAN LETTERMAN
LADY GRAVITY’S ALREADY GOT ME UP IN THE FRIDGE AGAIN
CHILLING SITTING UP IN IT JUST WISHING I WASN’T PISSIN AND
IF I DIDNT ADMIT IT THEN TELL ME WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO….
Now I gotta let y’all in on a secret. The second verse i spat on this track I wrote like a good year b4 to Fabolous’s “Breathe”….if you’ve got the DIRTY MOB mixtape….WE GOT NEXT….you can hear it in all its “thugged out” glory. I’m not gonna put it up here cos’ I think its time I retired that verse….at least for now…you never know…that shit may just come back like Jordan wearing the ’45…I HAVE NO QUALMS w/ staging a comeback on ur asses. LOL.
Things is when it came time to do the mixtape, the verse just fit the whole theme of the track for me….and if the shoe fits…
So yea.
Enjoy.

There is without a doubt nothing better than the 2nd half of the second semester…maybe not in the UK or in the States…but in the Southern Hemisphere…Australia in particular…thats the middle of summer…
Now the middle of summer for any dude @ university with any sense (or lack thereof) is the time of the year when no assignments get done on time….most classes are still filling up 10 to 15mins into the….
Why ?
Cos when the heat come out….so do the hot honeys with the short skirts and the tank tops and pretty summer dresses…..and in that summer season…I swear the whole fate of your degree hangs in the balance….cos its hard work tryna pulla ya eyes away…
USED TO BE NOTHING BETTER
THAN THE SECOND HALF OF THE SECOND SEMESTER
JUST TO GET A GLANCE OF THE GIRLS DONG THEIR BEST TO
BLESS THE BOYS WITH A BETTER LOOK AT THEIR LEGS
TEHN WAS LIKE “DAMN,I DON’T KNOW WHERE THEY END”
AND I NEVER WOULD COS I COULDN’T GET THE ENDS TO MEET
I COULDN’T EVER GET ‘EM INTO ME….
I COULDN’T GET THE LICENSE FOR THE NICE WHIP
THE NIGHTLINK FOR THE NIGHT TRIPS WASNT QUITE PIMP…..BUT AH
TEHN DIAMOND…HERE I AM….BUS TICKET AND A BOOK FOR THE 412
MAYBE THE GUIDE TO THE GALAXY THAT I READ
TO WOO THE STARS UP ON QUEEN STREET THAT I’D SEEN
KNEW I DIDNT NEED A GIRL THAT’D WRESTLE ME
NEEDED A WOMAN THAT’D REST NOT STRESS WIT ME
TO INVEST IN THE BEST OF ME
BUT FIRST BETTER PAY THE CHEQUE WIT MY FEES
THEY’RE EXPECTING ME
Kinda sad and childish but oh so true. And in my first year thats pretty much all I could do, stop and stare….needless to say I was a fish outta water….wet behind the ears and shy as balls….the when I finally got up the courage to actually step to anyone….months later I always seemed too broke to do much with a date..
So yea….this song is that….I had fun though and learnt to just be me and work with what I had. lucky me and landed up with a sweet young lady who couldnt care less what I’m worth.
THEN ROUND ABOUT THE SAME TIME FAB DROPPED MAKE ME BETTER
I FOUND ONE I COULD MAKE A DINNER BUT NOT TAKE TO DINNER
I COULDN’T PAY FOR THE RATE OF THE DINNER
SO I HAD TO MAKE A PLAN JUST FAKE THE DINNER
(BUT WHY THOUGH…?)
COS I DIDNT HAVE THE CAKE TO ENTER
INTO ANY FINE PLACES WITH HER…I BEEN SAYING !!
EVERY STUDENT GOT A FRIEND
DOWN AT KFC…..SO I PRETEND LIKE I GOTTA GET A DVD…THEN AH
TEHN DIAMOND…HERE I AM…THE BIG BUCKET
WITH THE TWENTY FOUR PIECES INSIDE
AND SHE’S LIKE WON’T I LOOK FAT IN MY JEANS
WHEN HONESTLY I DON’T CARE IT DON’T MATTER TO ME
COS I CAN SEE THAT YOU REALLY P.H.A.T.
BEAUTIFUL BY FAR B. DON’T YOU SEE
YOU THE LIGHT THAT I SHINE OFF
COS EVEN WHEN THE DAYS GET DARK
YOU THE REASON THAT MY SMILE’S ON
Its no secret to those who know me that I like to recycle and revamp my lines where I see fit…and this is one of those tracks that I have a vision for….I’ve got a sweet hook all lined up for it (not that Avery Storm didnt kill it with Rick Ross..but I got PLANS)…the track’s called Summer(Just Way Too Hot) and with any luck I’m gonna get Andre on it. Or I might just sing it myself….why not ?
So stay tuned…
Peace. Love & a life thats lekker…

Ode to the death of the suit and its accompanying ethos…YAY !!
Don’t know how the heck I’m so late on this jam, but it jumped out at me following my little “Fuck the suits” rant. now its my favourite joint…Im thinking I may hold a mock funeral for the business suit and everything it stands for, with this song playing in the background all day !!
The smartest thing any big ass money company ever did was “Casual Fridays” but even that was borderline douche. Dunno why nobody else sees it but if you spend years and years and years at school only to leave and find a job where you’re required to wear a tie round ya neck…
Thats too much like suicide for me sorry…walking round with a fancy noose chasing money.
Dont get me wrong, I’m coming for the money…but only to live like a bum forever and ever…chilling on a beach sippin’ on MAI TAI whoa !!! plus I half think I’d like t just give it all away every few years and start fresh. hmmm…
peace…peace…peace…

The Wishlist – Paul Simon
For two reasons I’d love to work with this man.
1. I sung one of his and Garfunkel’s songs way back in the day when I still did eistedford’s and stuff…I think it was Scarborough Fair…yea I’m cool like that.
2. Cos’ of this track in particular.
I checked it out on like VH1 last night and I loved it. Especially cos in the video it starts with Big Daddy Kane and Biz Markie laying it down….will BDK is laying it down and Biz is dropping the fresh beatbox.
Dunno why the fug I couldnt find the actual vid on youtube but hey its a dope track.
I wonder what Paul Simon is up to these days anyway and whether he’d even be up for working with a young dude outta Zim anyhow….in fact I think he would, he did that dope ass track with Ladysmith Black Mambazo…back in the day…in fact I think it was off his Graceland album.
My mom had the vinyl and me and my little sis used to bump that thing like shitty razor blades do my chin….GOOD TIMES.
Anyone else love them some Paul Simon….holler at me ?

4. The 4 Minute Bar Exam
Your FREE download : 4. The 4 Minute Bar Exam
I initially copped a little flack from the “real heads” over spitting on this beat. But being the suburban urban wordsmith I am…I said fuck it…lets rattle the cage a little….so I did.
Its kinda early in the game as far as my career and you getting to know me as an artist are concerned but i thought this’d be a good track to let you in on a few things about ME….TehN Diamond.
In my music & in my career as a whole….this is assuming I end up with a career….I want people to know that I’m aiming to stand for just honest and musical music. I used to have delusions of massive radio-play and top 40 magic….but once i actually started writing and got down to the nitty-gritty of finding who I am…or at least who I want to be…I realised I really didnt give a shit…I wanna reach people..people like me…people who can relate…people unafraid to live,love and enjoy…everything that comes with life….from the sad to the bad…the ups and downs….the good shit….the great shit….wateva makes us human.
All the flash and bling-bling really aint me. Cos like the Strong Arm Steady told me “Money Dont Make You Rich”
So yeah honesty and reality….thats what I’m tryna stand for and that’ll never change. And I guess its up to me, but also up to you folk as “fans” to help keep it that way.
With that said though.. HOW I do things….and actually go about being honest and being real in my music….that’ll always change. I’ve gotta grow and I’ve gotta experience and experiment through my music always…whether its singing a hook here….or spitting a bar extra there….rocking out a little…or bringing that funky soul shit….its all an option…I refuse to live in a box.
I wrote this verse to something else…and I thought I’d fuck with the purists by spitting it over a Madonna track.
SINCE THE BEGINNING OF MINE I PLAYED FOR ONE THING
THE STARS, AND I ONLY EVER CAME IWTH ONE SCHEME
FUNNY HOW IT STAYED IN MY VEINS LIKE A NEEDLE
I STUCK WITH IT AND NOW I PRUSUE MY VISION
STUDENT OF THE GAME PLAYING FOR KEEPS AND SO SOULFULLY
SO EVERY BAR THAT I SPIT IS SO CLOSE TO ME
OPENLY REHEARSED YOU’RE NOT TO STOP THE VISION
SHOW ME THE MOON I’M A MAN ON A MISSION
NOT YOUR ORDINARY PART OF THE NORM RAPPER
I AM THE QUITE BEFORE THE STORM THAT YOU BETTER WARN KATS
IS COMING…GOT ‘EM RUNNIN’ OUTTA HOME WITH HARD HATS
BUT THIS AIN’T FOR YA HEAD THIS IS SOMETHING YOUR HEART LACKS
SOMETHING TO SEE US ALL THROUGH THE GOOD AND THE SO BAD
THOUGHT YOUR HEART WAS YOUR HOME AINT YOU READY TO GO BACK
OR WOULD YOU RATHER I SPAT RAW COKE AND GATS
NAH…I’M HAVING FUN COS I’M FREE AND I OWN THAT
MARRIED TO THE COUSIN OF DEATH ONCE
I COULDNT WRITE A RHYME AT NIGHT THAT WAS TIME THAT I SLEPT
AND I WAS DATING MARY J. SO THE TIME WE SPENT
COULDA BEEN A NIGHT OR DAY THAT WAS TIME THAT I SLEPT
BUT NOW I RUN COS I KNOW WHAT SHE WANTS
ALL OF MY ART AND MY GLORY MY HEART AND PART OF MY STORIES
NO I CAN’T SEE THAT
SO I CAN’T BE THAT
SO TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHY I GOTTA BELIEVE THAT
MOST AINT ME AND MOST AINT SUPPOSED TO BE
THE ROAD WAS MOULDED AND MEASURED OUT TO FIT MY FEET
THE GOLD WAS POURED AND PAVED SO THE SUN WON’T SEE
AND I WON’T LEAVE UNTIL I GET THE CHANCE TO SPEAK
The highlight of this joint for me is the crazy deep “KRONIC” drop right at the start…I can’t deny it one bit DJ Kronic really brought the heat when he mixed this baby up. With all that said, if anyone has any ideas for instrumentals of other tracks they think they might enjoy me putting a spin on…lemme know in the comments but lemme know why too..
I RUN WITH A MOB THEY CALL DIRTY NICE AND EARLY
COPPED THEIR LAST MIXTAPE MIGHTA HEARD ME
STAND WITH A FAM’ THAT THEY CALL BEATKAMP
UNDERSTAND THAT I STAND ON MY OWN TOO AND
I COME FROM A DISTANT LAND NO ITS NOT THE AMERICAS I’M AFRICAN
SO THATS HALF A MILL FOR BAIL IF THEY CATCH ME…DAMN
BUT THATS IF THEY CATCH ME !!
Had to shout out my chorts and henchmen the Dirty Mob and the honourable Beatkamp…two groups of people that really pushed me to keep bettering my shit while I was down under.
You never know….could just make something happen.
Enjoy.
Peace,Love & a little something I like to call CONFIDENCE.

3. I Had A Dream
Your FREE download : 3. I Had A Dream
This here is the song closest to my heart, and for obvious reasons too. I won’t say too much cos’ it really tells its own story. So I’ll let it do just that.
In fact I’ll tell you this much, I wrote this one a while after I’d given up on pressing through my degree for the wrong reasons…..I guess I wanted to explain myself. And it wasn’t an easy one to write at all, this one hurt to get out….but it felt like the perfect thing to do at the time. It gave me a whole lot of peace of mind.
DEAR DAD,
I’M WRITING THIS IN THE SINCEREST LETTERS I HAVE
I MIGHTA MISSED EVERY SINGLE LIFE LESSON YOU PASSED
IN SPITE OF THIS I CAN STILL SAY THAT I’M A MAN
COS I DO UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH YOU LOVE ME
AND EVEN THOUGH ITS SO PITITFUL AND ITS UGLY
THE WAY WE CONSTANTLY BICKERING WON’T YOU TRUST ME
I WANT THE SAME FOR MYSELF
I WANT THE NAME NOT THE SAME
THAT I MADE FOR MYSELF
AND YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANNA
AND BE MAD AS YOU WANNA
BUT I NEVER NEGLECT THE RESPECT AND HONOUR
THAT YOU TRULY DESERVE FOR PUTTING IN HARD WORK
ON THE GRIND AT THE MINES YOU DESIGNED YOUR LIFE
’85 I ARRIVED YOU DESIGNED MY SHINE
TEHN-DIAMOND I TALK TO THE WIND AND THE SKY
AND YES I FAILED A DEGREE BUT I NEVER FAILED YOU
COS AT THE END OF THE DAY….WELL I ONLY FAILED ME
BUT I’M FLYING….
DEAR MAMA,
YOUR THE HARDEST PART OF MY ARMOUR
YOUR MY SUNNY DAYS
SO ITS HARD THAT WE’VE BEEN APART HALF A DECADE
AND THE DAYS JUST KEEP TICKING
THE PAIN JUST KEEPS HITTING MY FRAME
BUT I’M CALM, COS YOU LOVE ME
AND EVEN THOUGH YOU GET TIRED OF HEARING I’M STRUGGLING
I KNOW YOU RIGHT BY MY SIDE I KNOW THAT YOU WONDERING
WHAT I’MMA MAKE OF MYSELF
I SEE THE WAY THROUGH THE MAZE
I’MMA TAKE WHAT I’M DEALT
AND I BELIEVE IN YOU MAMA
SO GO GET YOUR DEGREEE
BUT PLEASE YOU GOTTA SEE A DEGREE WASN’T FOR ME
AND WHAT YOU TRULY DESERVE
FOR PUTTING ME ON THIS EARTH
THESE WORDS WOULDN’T BE WORTH
THIS VERSE WOULDN’T HAVE WORKED
SO I WALKED WITH THE WIND AND I TALKED TO THE SKY
TOLD EM TAKE ME TO THE MOON COS I’M READY TO SHINE
AND IF I LOSE THEN I LOSE BUT I’M FIGHTING TO WIN
COS IF I WIN THEN YOU DID GIVE BIRTH TO A KING

It also happens to be the title track of the album I’m working on at the moment….and if you dont already know, its also one of three tracks I’m hoping to shoot a video for. And if you check the little sidebar to the right you can go ahead and vote for it if you’ like it to be the first official video I do.
Gotta warn ya though I hit the lab with TAGZ and we cooked up a new beat for this joint, one that kinda carries the sentiment a little better. You’ll see and hopefully love it too.
Peace,Love & a brighter day..

The Business Suit…
I hate it. The damn thing represents so much of what I friggin hate about home. Everybody’s bout their money. And I dont just mean H. I mean Africa in general. In fact its most of the world aint it…
If we stopped bigging it up so much maybe a couple other billion people would eat a little better every once in a while. Greed exists with or without money, I think its just a human thing…but for damn sure money makes it worse. Ever since gold. Why cant we just share shit more better ?
Ridiculous.
The suit is single-handedly breaking backs and taking names.
Fair enough money is a necessary evil. But why do we have so much respect for it. Now money’s tryna tell me I can make music without his punk ass….gimme a break. Sure it’d be way more breey, but look where that got Breezy.
And much as I’d love to SUIT UP with the best of ‘em (shout to B. Stinson)….it’d just break my soul at this point. And I need my damn soul. Its where the songs settle before I sing em.
My pops rocks a suit though and he’s cool. But them other suited fuckers…tick me the fug off. im really quite enough.
OKAY RANT OVER
…..

……….. breathing easy.
Peace, Love & pennies from heaven

2. Pretty BIG Intro DREAMS
Your FREE download: 2. Pretty BIG Intro DREAMS
“Music embodies knowledge and innovation, individual effort and collective achievement, and offers a work-environment that is full of opportunities for excellence and self-actualization – same as any successful business”
Keep that in mind as u read, why and how I ended up just going the music route….and not the BCom graduate route…
Now listen I don’t really know what its like where you’re from, but know whats it like in Zimbabwe. If you’re privilleged enough to be able to afford school..you go.Then you go to primary school. Then you go to high school. I went to St. George’s College in Harare.
Two years in you get your ZJC (maybe not)…then two years later your get your O’Levels (maybe not)…then another two years later you get your A’Levels.
Now what happens after this if your a good God-fearing….parent pleasing young boy or girl….you generally go out into he world and you get your degree. What do you get your degree in ?
Well naturally, you get it in something respectable…something thats gonna guarantee your future and make your folks proud.
You do not…I repeat DO NOT under any any circumstances suggest to your parents as I did….that despite getting A’Levels in Management of Business, Accounting & Economics that you would like to go out there and spend their heard earned money studying a Perfoming Arts Degree….RIDICULOUS !!
Get the picture. So I went off and did Finance. But I made sure i did it far far away so I could at least get me some life experience. I ended up in sunny Brisbane,Australia. At the time my big dream was becoming an actor…..then it became songwriter…..then ummm…I ended up a rapper (huh?)..check the about me section for that story though.
So after a few semesters and just meeting people from all over the world, studying or sorts of stuff I learnt that a huge number of the people I met were studying one thing to appease someone else….after which they would work….save some money up….and finally chase their true passion…..a global crisis if you ask me.
I’m not the biggest fan of the dream deferring mentality most of society has….life is too short…we act like we KNOW we have 4 eva when in reality we only have today…not even that…we only really have RIGHT NOW….so yea thats how this verse came about…
SUNG : THEY TRIED TO LEAD THE STUDENT
BUT MY HEART KNOWS
ALL I NEED TO FOLLW IS MY SOUL
STUDENT OF THE GAME
HIGHER LEARNING !!
BANEZ CITY WHAT UP !!
H-TOWN WHAT UP !!
NDEIPI !!
WHAT’S HAPPENING ?
THIS ONE HERE’S FOR MY UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
WHO ENROLLING IN SUBJECTS BUT THEY DON’T WANNA DO IT
THEY JUST TAKING THE PATH OF THEIR PARENTS
COS TO THEIR PARENTS THEIR PASSION IS NOT APPARENT
SO THEY SCARED TO PURSUE IT YOU MUST
YOU KINDA OWE TO YOURSELF TO GET IT RIGHT
AND TRUST ME I BEEN THROUGH IT SO I KNOW WHATS IT LIKE
IF I COULD DO IT ALL AGAIN I WOULDN’T DO A DEGREE
BUT I’M TOO DEEP TO QUIT IT I DO NEED TO FINISH IT
SO I KEEP HITING IT GIVING IT EVERY BIT OF THIS
LIFE THAT I’VE BEEN GIVEN THIS RIGHT THAT I BEEN BLESSED WITH
AND YOU CAN TAKE IT AS A SIGN OF MY LOVE
THAT I DO GIVE YOU THESE LYRICS
AND TAKE TIME TO SPIT IT
COS MY MAMA CAN’T WAIT TILL I GRADUATE
TAKE HER ON A VACA
ANYPLACE ANYWHERE ANYDAY
AND THATS ON EVERYTHING I AM
ON EVERYTHING I OWN TO THE BOTTOM OF MY SOUL
* By the way the beat for this track isn’t an original…its actuall from a Game “Big Dreams” (INSERT LINK TO VID HERE) track that I’m suprised a lotta folk havent heard…probably cos it didnt make his album.
By the way it wouldnt be right if I didnt mention that while studying wasnt for me…I totally see how having a day job might have helped to speed up some of things I’m tryna do now. But hey I made my bed….and so I shall lounge in it. Surely money can’t be the end and be all. I for one just believe in people.
If its good, good people will listen and they’ll let the world know.
But maybe im just too much of an idealist….watevs…I’m happy
Bottom line though…I’m ready and willing to sweat. I’ll get where I’m going soon enough. I love what I do. I love that you care.
Peace,Love & carrot sticks….all the more better to see you with…no ?
