The Daily Dose x I Think I Just Came

. . . my bad.

What I mean is, I think I just arrived.

You see 14 months ago, I’d just got home from a 10 month stint in Singapore performing at their biggest hip-hop club. I did 4 shows a night, 5 nights a week . . . so if you doing the math, you know thats 800 shows. Before that I’d been here in Harare for about 6 months, with no clue or idea how to make all this work. See cos prior to that I’d been in Australia for 5yrs. You know my story, but I’m telling it for those who don’t.

I dropped outta that degree, no, I failed that degree . . . I didn’t give it the respect and time it deserved or required. My heart, my mind and soul were on other things . . . rapper things. Also I’m just stubborn. I followed my heart into the gates of emotional hell.

Back home with no degree, just a mixtape and foolish ambition.

I got asked why on Earth I didn’t just stay in Australia where, according to everyone else, I woulda had a better chance to chase my little “dream”. Well, I never saw it that way. I didn’t want to be another one of those Zim celebrities who we kinda claim as ours yet they barely claim us.

I wanted to emobody the idea that as Zimbabweans we can do it just as well if not better than them all, I love the world, but the world just doesn’t see us for much more than our politics and problems. And I hate that.

In any case, I came home and nobody knew me or even cared to be honest. I was just another wannabe MC.

Fast forward 14 months . . . the newspapers have written about me at 6 times both in Harare and Bulawayo, I’ve been on the cover of 2 magazines, performed at HIFA twice, dropped two full projects, performed in Zambia, had at least 6 songs in rotation on POWER.FM, in Namibia, in Zambia and yesterday I got fulfil another dream . . . I was interviewed live on air for an hour.

I’m not saying any of this because I’m bragging, in fact its quite the opposite . . . I’m humbled by all of this . . . I just wanted to put out there to let you know that its so true that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. If I’m honest, I need you to know that as I write this I’m in tears. Tears of joy of course, because this is alll so much bigger than me. Its barely even getting started, but I think its here and its time.

I can never say this enough, so please when u read it take this to heart for me . . . THANK YOU. You’ve made my life something else, because as much as I believed you all believed too and thats enough to make any man wet his cheeks. And I ain’t ashamed of that.

Thank you.
