With hip-hopa��s young, hip and technologically savvy audience in mind, Bulawayo rap aficionado Naboth a�?Rizzlaa�? Rimayi has launched an app that promises to become a one-stop shop for followers and lovers of the genre.
Choosing to move with the times, the Naboth Rizzla App was launched recently and is available on Google Play. The app allows Bulawayo content producers and consumers to reconnect with the world as it brings in content from around the world at the click of a button.
Naboth Rizla is a hip-hop enthusiast who has made his name in hip-hop circles through not only contributing to well established hip-hop magazines such as South Africaa��s Hype Magazine but also from contributing to countless hip-hop websites in UK and USA.
With over a year in radio broadcasting on a UK-based radio station, he has decided to launch this radio application to help audiences keep up with the vast talent and releases that would have happened in Africa and worldwide during the week.
The Naboth Rizla Application is home to hip-hop and Ra��na��B Radio shows that are updated weekly and presented in a playlist format thereby allowing the listener to catch up on radio shows from different parts of the world. Content ranges from the latest album releases, music reviews, interviews, rap battles, chart shows, spoken word, DJ mixes and event updates from Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and the rest of the world.
Flag ship shows so far include Hip Hop 263 (Zimbabwean Hip Hop), Hip Hop TIA (African Hip Hop) and Hip Hop Universal (Global Hip Hop).
a�?This is a first for Zimbabwean hip-hop and ita��s important because the audience for hip-hop is young and therefore there are no better people to make use of such applications than fans of the genre,a�? he said.
Sanga Tembo from Zambia has now joined Rizzlaa��s team with Eardrum, a show that blends rap, spoken word and updates regionally and internationally. In the app, fans can also find UK hip hop shows and mixes from the IBMCs collective, which comprises French and Italian hour-long Hip hop shows and mixes.
