A LOCAL studio has decided to honour Canada-based Zimbabwean educationist, Dr Harold Sharara, for his charity work to try and eradicate drug abuse in the country.
Fireborn Music producer, Linksway Beatz, said they have decided to make a riddim titled Dr Sharara, who sponsored their studio.
The mission is to support the youth and keep them away from bad activities like drug abuse and premarital sex.
“Sharara is a fan of local music, he got interested in our work and decided to chip in to give us a helping hand.
“He has injected some capital to make sure our studio remains functional and rope in more young artists, for quality production.
“He believes work, or projects being done by the youth, should be supported so they stay busy.
“He told us that an idle mind is a devil’s workshop.
“He is of the belief that if the youths stay occupied, they will stay away from activities such as drugs and premarital sex.
“We then decided to honour him by doing a riddim called Dr Sharara.”
Linksway said the riddim is set to be released this Wednesday.
“The Dr Sharara riddim will be released midweek. We are happy to announce that we have completed a project that will honour one of the generous people in the world, who has a heart for the youths.
“The riddim will have a new crop of artists in the Zim dancehall industry such as Silent King, Wamaring, Draggah, Ras Shine, Weblah SK and others,” he told H-Metro.
Fireborn Music studio, based in the capital, intends to groom and uplift the youths while also working with established artists.
It was founded by Zim dancehall artist, Ras Shine, after he was inspired by the hardships he faced in the ghetto as a young musician.
