Home Sweet Home: Day One

So after a gruelling 24 hour flight, which saw me touching down in Mumbai and lounging there for 8 hours, then cruising through Adis Ababa and finally touching down in Harare aka H-Town aka My Town….I”M FINALLY HOME !

Its a whole new vibe here right now, the hip-hop scene is definately buzzing and growing strong. I’m kinda saddened that everyone i hear sounds American, not just in voice but in the direction of content.

I am super excited though that it looks and sounds like everyone is working harder, better and faster.

I got in at 1:30p on Tuesday and by 2:30p I was at the studio checking in with probably the most promising artist/producer/songwriter that Harare has in hip-hop….at least in my eyes. This fella goes by the name of TAGS. So happy to see that his set-up has expanded and his grind has only intensified.

Its such a crazy scene at his home/studio cos quite clearly everybody is tryna work with him and get him moulding their sound. Its a beautiful.

So naturally first thing Wednesday morning I headed straight to his place and got behind the mic. We banged out a track called “My Favourite Girl” I’m on the hook, Tags on the beat and a verse and anothe rhot MC out here ILLcee is on the bars as well…naturally I had to get a sixteen in as well….so stay tuned for this one.

One thing I know now that I didnt realise, while I may have notched up roughly 800 shows while in Singapore which fine tuned my stage game, I haven’t been in the studio properly for a good year and thats something thats gonna be getting worked out over the next few months.

And dammit people if you see my main man Jackpott, get him to play you a lil’ banger that myself and H-Roc recorded just before I left. Its called “Faded” and it bangs !!!

Anyway, I’m outta here but rest assured I’m gonna be updating this thing as often as I can and keep you lot, my family, firmly in the loop.

Peace,Love & a little less conversation…
