HOSI YA GENGE NA MAGELEGELE

HEAT OF THE WEEK

Avuxeni, let me give you a lil background hi artist leyi before ni nghena ka HEAT OF THE WEEK. He could be new ka genge ya Tsongarap but he is not new in the game and has also worked with prominent artists, Romeo Thegreat, Unarams and Kinglutendo to name a few. He actually has about 3 projects on his name and I also got a chance to listen to them. I will drop the links of them for you guys mi nga worry ani?

So mo hi TSHUKUNYUKA hi landza HEAT OF THE WEEK, yes the title of his latest jam is TSHUKUNYUKA. Xitsonga urban sound is really nice vanhu va hosi, especially if you get someone who is also able to play around hi LANGUAGE. His QUALITY is too nice, swi audible swilo swa ngwenya leyi and I wouldn’t expect anything less from him. I also love the fact that he is coming with a new SOUND, I can not think of anyone wa mutsonga doing this sound hi xitsonga. His production is too clean, aswi nyakapfalangi swilo swa yena. BEAT yi twala kahle, his autotune ayi tunguli and also the way he goes in shows maturity. His verses, hooks and bridges and also the transition will definitely get you glued up on your speakers.

Before you listen to the song, just know kuri a kuna XIGUBU xa la, El Moose u vulavula hi masangu. Ku tshukunyuka loku a hiku cina ntsena i ku cina na vusiku, he further said ‘uta xkuma lexi uxi lavaku’ which also gives me assurity ku yi vulavula hi masango boti leyi. Having said all this, the beauty of this song is that ku hava nhlamba and it is also radio friendly. Sounds like I am contradicting myself ne? well listen for yourself ke. Hosi ya #genge yi gimeta kwala

NOMONDE ROBBERS?

It started of with a statement released by Nghalas Record hi accident ya Nomonde Rodger who is one of their artists. Apparently an accident happened just before she was supposed to release her smash heat with Henny C. Many did not like how the statement was conducted and some also went as far as saying the accident was fake and a publicity stunt. Hina a hi ngari busy hi swona a hi lava music and we got it and enjoyed it, however the very same music put her and the team in deep S##T as a fellow artist by the name of Blackcash Igwee claimed the song to be his. wait, let me unpacked this.

  1. MAVAVANI ft Henny C

This is the song that started it all, no not her career, but it started the allegations to yiva ntirho wa vanwana and also not crediting them for the work they have put in. Blackcash apparently u endle rinsimu ka CoolB and never finished it, Nomonde came and took the body of work as it is and ran along with it, ALLEGEDLY. Cool B claims to have made her aware leswaku rinsimu i ra Blackcask/was written by him but the song came out without his knowledge nor him being credited. He had a fallout na Nomonde le ka Facebook where she played victim that people are now claiming the song hi ku kuna Henny C and also because it is making numbers. Ah ah, hi leti ti screengrabs loko minga tshembhi. Blackcash a xi kwate blind and took it here (see screengrabs)

2. LAZY ft MR POST

Nomonde Rodger just dropped an EP titled Lazy, and of the very same EP there is a song titled Lazy where she featured the heavyweight ya vunanga bya Xitsonga Mr.Post. Now this one exposed how things are ran le ka Nghalas, I was also disappointed because Mavavani should have been a lesson of what happens when you do not credit people of their work. The beat on the smash heat Lazy ft Mr Post is allegedly stolen, they have allegedly recorded on a beat without permission, then made certain agreements to at least pay and also credit the young producer of the beat after using the beat and na yona agreement ya leyi they did not honor it, i yini marha swilo sweswo? Anyway before hi babamela, vonani a mini interview done by Manyangatsi with boy who claims to have produced the beat.

All we have to say is that if all these allegations are true, this will mess up brand ya Nomonde who is a young promising act ka Urban Xitsonga Music. She has a bright future and we hope her team does not mess up ti relationships na ti fellow artists, game leyi yi lava ntamu and alone you wont win. These scandals will scare other artists and producers to work with her, they must trade carefully or else Nomonde u ta koka ribye hi tissue yo tsakama.

Anyway veri any publicity is good publicity right? So it would not be fair for us to give you the juice and not top it up with her EP for you to listen to. Lazy is a dope EP marha for us we feel like she is still trying to find her sound, and she will, but we only hope the team does not mess up her career before she does. Mo hi koka gasi hi tshamela leee, hi ready for GENGE.

HEAT OF THE WEEK

If you drop and we don’t post, it ain’t dope so don’t get high over that. Also, hi karhele ku reviewer mbodza wa vhiki hina phela swa tungula he nwina. Anyway, we dropping because there’s a new heat in town, ani leswi swa ti award to phuta hi nge swikoti ( news for another day though,we coming for them).

Welcome back Gmax, been a while since the game hear his shit. One of the most promising tsongarappers to blow. We don’t know what happened, maybe i magelegele, or he got demotivated hi genge or it is one of those moments every artist goes through swo tirha u nga humeleli. Hina we are just happy a nigga is back, khale hi yimeli album ya yena and it seems like Patmesh(produsoro) u yi deletini lol, ho bula maybe he is still cooking a hi tivi.

Xitayela Xa Mahala is self explanatory, he is just back testing the waters kuri waha fit(a) na. And GelegeleMusic does approve, we are still digging the style and we are also loving the new trapping Gmax. The LANGUAGE is lacking compared to what he is capable of but we know he is just teasing, phela swa tika ku famba u vuya, swa tika ku va xivuye he vanhu va hosi.

The BEAT is dope, but what you will recognize knowing him is that the mastering/quality is not the same. Someone close to him told us he is doing it by himself and we are happy that artists are doing more than just write LYRICS, ‘He is doing all the work by himself,mastering has become one of his favorite things now’ says his homie.

It is a jam for a weekend, it is also one for the streets so it might make a buzz but it is one of those that he needs a back up plan for. Maybe a remix would do or a video so that hina vo Thomas hi kholwa hi ku vona kuri he is back. Wait, don’t you wanna hear the song yourself? Link hi leyi, twana HEAT OF THE WEEK ya Gelegelemusic.

ARTIST OF THE MONTH

Congratulations to Pricetag for becoming our 1st ARTIST OF THE MONTH winner, yes handle ka HEAT OF THE WEEK na MBONDZA WA VHIKI hi na ARTIST OF THE MONTH. Here we obviously look at an artist that had an impact, a ahi nge jika jiki we all know what impact is.

Pricetag is not new to Tsongarap, he has been there in the game as a producer and also as an artist. But, what he has done this month is something new and not only to the game but also for himself.

Pricetag dropped an album of 19 tracks called Life Of a Xikanddza ( LOAX) earlier this month. Ever since this dropped, it has been the most talked about ka tsongarap movement. Some talk about the collaborations, others are busy with the numbers, some are talking about beat selection while others are talking about his rap skills. We say it is the 1st ever album to drop and have such impact since Amu Mchangani and this has nothing to do with it being dope or not so yima nyana genge u nga jahi ani.

This album had over 10k streams ka audiomark on its 1st day of release, show me who has done those numbers ka tsongarap. Also had over 3k downloads ka Xikulu.com( compare albums not songs) and this is the album that dropped 10 days ago, now that’s what we call an IMPACT. This also means a kuri na anticipation for this album or his marketing was top notch.

Get a chance and download/stream the album, it is a well organized body of work and yes the BEAT selection is fire. You are right too, he has some dope ass features as well so check that one out too. His PRODUCTION is top QUALITY too and we at gelegelemusic believes the album deserves the numbers and more. Impact majita impact, then u koka gasi u tshika genge yi rhasa, that is all you need.

HEAT OF THE WEEK

‘YOUR REVIEWS DONT MATTER NTWANA U MBALE BLOMAS’……………………

Minga chuhwi aku vuliwi GelegeleMusic, hina hi khome game hi swandla hahaha. Our HEAT OF THE WEEK is a song titled King by InnoMmas ft Mchangani, mo hi nghena mhakeni hi ku swi havahava.

InnoMmas got a feature with one of the greats ka Tsongarap and boy did not waste it. Xa karhata hi FLOW xiyisa he nwina, his recording technique kumbe produsoro wa yena knows what he’s doing and I say this because fast as he is, he is AUDIBLE. Vonwina a mi twali when you flow like this, and this is one thing that makes your songs whack. We also had a chat with him live on Facebook about working with Mchangani and how the feature came about, famba vona link hi leyi. https://m.facebook.com/groups/tsongarap/permalink/4343054829089214/

My review matter hi ku ani mbali blomas hahaha boti a yi kwatini himpela. Mchangani came through with a fire verse, he really wanted to put his BARS where his mouth is. Dope wordplay and he came through with that vintage Mchangani FLOW. Ani a mi lava ku tiva kuri why a ti vitana TsongaRap pioneer, so he’s back on that element yo rapper and hina swa hi tsakisa leswi.

It’s a dope song, CONCEPT allows them to go anywhere with it. You can prove why you are a KING, you can show your dope FLOWS or you can also tell genge what’s on your chest. We are not happy though hi usage ya LANGUAGE, xa chavisa Xitsonga ne? The BEAT is insane, it has been a while since Cleinbouy produced a beat like this and I must say he came through. We are also hoping Mchangani will be dropping something new very soon, and maybe also work with more Tsongarappers, I think their energy will bring back that spark in him.

It is our HEAT OF THE WEEK, here’s a link below and also tell us what you think of the song on the comment section. Gelegelemusic yi koka gasi, #genge

InnoMmas meets Mchangani

Phela hina leswo tlela tlela ahi swikoti, we rest one eye up and always have ears on the ground. And for that reason we are able to bring you exclusive content hayi leswo tiva hi Jim na Jack.

InnoMmas, the rapper who gave us Kanwe feat TheGreatWhite early last month is about to unleash another song this month hiti 10. He is coming back with another song titled King and he is featuring an OG ka rap ya Xitsonga, Mchangani himself will be on the joint. I must say it is a huge move for InnoMmas and I hope this won’t be a wasted feature. We also hope ku boti brings his A game because ikhale nyana vanga humesi and also for him to show us why he calls himself a TsongaRap pioneer.

So the song is produced by Cleinbouy who is not new to the game, so by the look of things all should be perfect. A youngster with a new wave of sound, an OG who’s been doing this Hip-hop thing for years and also an experienced produced. This alone makes it hard ku endla Mbodza, so we are not gonna take any of that. Ndleve hi rhiyini, tisani hi lunghekile. In the meantime, #gasi

HEAT OF THE WEEK

Va chava ku humesa ka tsongarap hiku chava mbodza, which is good. We rather have less music than more gabage, and yes our job is to call you out until you drop HEATS only he majita. Anyway, we had to go out searching to find something new. New in terms of sound, new in terms of names and also we are happy to tell you that we got a bit of less used CONCEPT which was refreshing. Vo nwina mi yimbelela hi swilo swinwe ntsena, if it is not a song about girls, i vusiwana and if not that it is a dedication song hina hi karhele.

Valala va mina is our song this week that we feel it has more depth than any other dropped, loko mi kaneta tisani swinwani hitwa. The Man of Cassinova better known as TMC is a rapper from Diepsloot and a founder of The Outer Space Records. Might be new to our ears but not to the game, he has worked with rappers like Surprise Bee, Mo Love, Nk Vortex, ChezMan and Kay Murdur. And now I have heard that he is working on the project with Lady Presh for his upcoming Album.

Horight, ani sweswi hava tiva svara, ahi tweni ntirho wa vona ke. One thing that caught my ear is the QUALITY, you can tell kuri genge yi teka ntirho wa yona serious and we are happy with that. BEAT is clean which also makes the vocals audible, what I like the most iku they did not force to sound American, hi yona TSONGATRAP phela leyi. We are also impressed hi usage ya LANGUAGE, I mean what better way to define tsongatrap/rap than the language itself? HOOK is a nice sing along and also the verses are easy to listen to. If TMC keeps at this, uta khomisa genge xivixivi himpela. He is also featuring a guy by the name of Canicee who came through on the second verse with a dope FLOW that gave the song life, yingiselani na CONTENT rinsimu mita ri enjoya.

This is easily our HEAT OF THE WEEK because everything is put on the right place from PRODUCTION, CONTENT(LYRICS) to LANGUAGE. We wish to hear more songs like this, and we hope they feed us more. Give it an ear and tell us what you think, ra twala kumbe ho babamela? Here’s the link below

HEAT OF THE WEEK

When the greats meet the song must be enormous, get it? ThaGreat and InnoMmas? It wasn’t hard was it?…yeah yeah I thought as much. It is not the 1st time featuring InnoMmas ka gelegelemusic, and I am happy to announce that on both occasions u endle ntirho wa kahle. Ti review leti is for artists to improve and also keep up, hi karhele hi mbodza hina so we hope na genge ya nyuwani are following the easy steps to make a HEAT OF THE WEEK. It has been a while since he dropped something so we definitely needed a heat, otherwise why wait for long ivi I humesa mbodza?. The boy went on to get a dope ass feature, Romeo TheGreat is a well known Venda artist who has been making waves, his voice is so unique and also powerful. Yi khomi game ya le Venda hi tiwacheni ngwenya leyi and I foresee greatness, he’s gonna blow like a Pakistan( I don’t need ku hlela line leyi ani). Kanwe, the title of the song is an emotional rollercoaster and I was a bit skeptical knowing the background of InnoMmas who’s a trapper, he’s always had the jumpy energy which sometimes can fuck up a song like this. Marha,niri marha, ngwenya was in pain. It is the 1st time I have heard this boy so calm and wanted to engage hiti EMOTIONS before the LYRICS, you can tell kuri muyisa a koka ribye hi tissue yo tsakama. Boy spoke of the failure to graduate a xikolweni and being suicidal also, sure it was one of the toughest moment in his life knowing kuri genge ya le switandini will put unnecessary pressure on you. I also hope this song is a sign of his prosperity and also making it out of the dark cloud he has been in, it is also great to see/hear trappers tap on the emotional side instead swavo skrr skrr all the time. Emotionally his verse takes it, however you gotta give it to Vha-Venda when it comes to the FLOW. Ngwenya ayo rhetela he nwina, and I also loved the fact that he did not miss the CONCEPT which is basically about living once (Kanwe) and also pushing through the troubles we face ka vutomi lebyi. He also mentioned YOLO ( you only live once) a couple of times, and also said he’s about to drop an album. Kumbe ho hlela ngopfu swilo but it sounded like a title of the album he’s planning to drop or perhaps a song, we will be waiting for that he Romeo wahi kolota. LANGUAGE vari va mbirhi is a bit lacking, I think InnoMmas is just comfortable in expressing himself hi xilunghu so that’s the part he needs to work on. Romeo also did not go hard hi Tshivenda, I would have loved some Venda sauce. But I did catch the line ya ‘hi hanya kanwe that’s always my motto/Athi tshili vhutshilo sa tshidimela tshikha tshiporo’ ,which basically means you gotta make your own decisions u tshika kuva ‘torokisi’ a follower. PRODUCTION the song slaps, it is easy to listen to and thanks to Ntsakobeats for that. Yes he does have the same flow and I blame this to Ntsakobeats, maybe outside his studio and with a different producer he might give us something new. However, without Ntsakobeats InnoMmas would struggle no doubt. He also has QUALITY ka vunanga bya yena and he is audible even when he has the ‘mumbling’ style of rapping, and all thanks to Ntsakobeats hiku vo you swamitsandza. I am sure you are wondering kuri hi themendhela no sandza njhani in one line, well because we can and ahi chuhwangi ani. I am glad to present to you my fellow genge na magelegele the HEAT OF THE WEEK. Here’s your link mitwa how to make a HEAT, don’t forget to share your thoughts!!!!

THE WINNER IS…..

Ahe tihosi na tihosikati, Bali Music had a competition where they announced kuri a winner will get a free 4K video shoot from them. Before ni mibyela kuri ku humelele mani, I must also commend Bali Music for the opportunity it has given to the culture. Swa tsakisa ku tiva no vona leswaku va kona vanhu va nyikelaku without expecting anything in return, especially ka Xitsonga Urban Music. Videos are important ka nkarhi wa sweswo, ku tele vo Thomas so we must give them what to watch at the end of the day. Bali Music is known for having artists like Simefree and Dee Michaels, and they have also won a couple of awards, they also have undoubtedly taken over the game after yi cakumeta hi Masingi Music Production( MMP). And I also believe with the right signings they can grow even better, talent yi kona hala handle they must just go looking. Anyway ku vuyela mhakeni, Thunderbolt who is a young new rising star xale Ntlhaveni Block C (Cside) has won the competition and I am speaking now va busy hi Music video ya yena. I don’t know remember him dropping a song this or last year, so I am not sure for which song is he doing the video of. It could be a new song or something from his catalogue ahi tivi, it is a very huge opportunity for the boy and I pray he does not fuck it up. This could be the opportunity he has been working hard for, who knows kumbe na Bali Music yinga vona a need to sign him. We hope to also review the song and also the video when it drops, and perhaps get a chance to sit down with him hiti twela from the horse’s mouth kuri swilo swifambe njhani and also the plans going forward. Congratulations once again to Thunderbolt, we hope you represent the vill kid. Hiri swisasekile hina va gelegelemusic, pusha uya mahlweni. Hosi ya genge yi gimeta kwala!

IN BETWEEN YA VHIKI

‘Problem ku tele mbodza vhiki leri’ kuri Gelegele Team yiri busy no hleva. Anyway we have went out to search for a song that we believe kuri ra fita ku kuma ndleve na nkarhi for us to analyze. I must say with this one it was a heated debate,ani leswa fear na favour aswi tirhi ka hina. This again goes to show that we take time,aho babamela ani. Cool B has been doing some noise in the game for nkarhi nyana and the game at first did not accept him without mentioning Henny C, I can only think kuri it was hard times for the boy to push his thing whilst on the hand being told kuri wa kopela and I believe it is just that the style is similar, hayi kuri xo kopela vanhu va hosi. Hambi yena Henny C Also mentioned this in the song, yes vanhu va hosi Cool B scored a feature ya Henny C. Well team ya gelegelemusic isn’t impressed hi mihandzu ya kona, yes we expected much more because iti artists tikulu. Before genge yihi cakunya here’s why we think this is not a HEAT OF THE WEEK. Both artists played safe, too safe that they gave us something we have heard before, anivuli marito he majaha ni vula CONCEPT. WA PFUMELA sounds like a song that wasn’t written at all, they got a dope sing along hook and went on with it. If you listen to Cool B who has done a hook and also the first verse you will get my point, actually no verse hi yihi kumbe hook hi yihi it is hard to separate because it is the same FLOW. In his defense, why mess up a nice hook and a sing along? marha hi tihlo ra mutsari it does not have SUBSTANCE. Hiku komisa he is not saying much but a repetition and unfortunately because ha yingisela we caught that. The song actually changes when Henny C came on, yes he did kill the song if you had to compare the verses. His verse had a bit of painting on it, you can visualize the storyline and he also switched the FLOW which gave the song a bit of direction. But all in all ku hava effort on the pen game and I thought these two were going to fight, I wanted to debate on who had a better verse with the team but instead we were competing if the song i MBODZA WA VHIKI kumbe HEAT OF THE WEEK. Having said all this, because of the route they took which is an easy way out, GENGE na MAGELEGELE will receive this song and can make it trend because 1. it is an easy sing along, 2. The feature wasn’t expected since they used to compare them 3. Because of mjolo wa nyisa and that’s the concept they can most if not all relate to. The team couldn’t name this MBODZA WA VHIKI because of such reasons so we had to settle for IN BETWEEN YA VHIKI, hiku komisa ro kufumela rinsimu leri he vanghana. We gave it 5/10, if you think that we are wrong inga gunguleli a mbilwini, tsala ka comment section hitwa mavonelo. Even when you think we are write, veka ra wena ra vusiwana nwana madala. Link hi leyi, ti twele hita wena hina hi koka gasi hi yimele HEAT OF THE WEEK. Gelegelemusic ya vulavula
