RAPPER Takudzwanashe “Shonaboi” Mutsvairi says he wants to be the best Shona rapper.
Buoyed by the success of his new song titled Nguva, featuring Leo Magozz, which is trending on YouTube, he believes he has the talent to market the Shona language to the world.
“Nguva means time and we don’t control time, we can’t predict the future and we can’t undo what’s already done.
“We learn and try by all means to move on, we try something new until we produce something on the ground. It’s not by choice but it’s by God’s grace, that’s the meaning of the song,” he said.
The song, which was recorded by Vince Beats of Zero53, is actually trending on YouTube, courtesy of music executive producer, Zeb Tsikira .
“The song was released five days ago and I am actually on number 15, (15 on Trending for Music) and I am happy with the progress.
“I see myself as an icon.
“I want to be a businessman and I want to support it through my music and I want to be the best Shona rapper.
“My plan for this year is to produce good music, inspiring and delivering positive messages to the people. I need to start something that I call mine and help upcoming artists also,” he said.
Shonaboi said he is inspired by people who are always around him.
“I am inspired by people who are always around me and also the environment. I also want to thank my music executive producer, Zeb Tsikira, who is also sponsoring me.”
Tsikira said his wish is to produce music which shape the society.
“As an executive producer, I am always looking forward and making sure we come out with the best music for our upcoming artistes.
“I reached out to Leo Magozz team for a possible collabo and they were excited to do it, the rest is history. It’s been an amazing journey so far.
“I like working with Shonaboi because he is very humble, talented and always willing to learn.
“So far, this is our second single and it’s doing well everywhere.
“We have managed to uplift Shonaboi from an unknown artist to a superstar.
“He is the next big hip hop artist in Zimbabwe,” he said.
Tsikira also told this publication that more upcoming artists were in the pipeline.
“We have more upcoming artists who are coming soon. Make sure you subscribe to our YouTube channel, Zeb Tsikira, to stay up to date with any releases.
“I am also working hard to identify untapped talent in Zimbabwe and showcase it to the world.
