HEAT OF THE WEEK: Xinyela Babeni by Gym Arrow | The birth of ‘Tsonga Electro Trap’

Man… ‘njamba leyi yi lava goal keeper’.
Malenga loko yi lava ku prover point ya ba, or should I say when he takes time to releas ya xi vanga. Either or, Gym shot arrows with this one letting genge know kuri ‘he’s still alive and well, coz if he was dead they wouldn’t survive the smell‘. Xinyela Babeni is a track for me that’s defining what we’ll call Tsonga Electro Trap in the near future. The beat is a fusion of Trap and Tsonga Electro.
The production is top notch and the puns and wordplay in the track – my gawd,  this deserves an ishuuu ya Scoop.  This is obviously heat of the week with a rating of 4.5/5, the 0.5 got lost coz I had to listen to the song 4 times kuri ni twa hook kuri yi ri ‘we instead of I xinyela baben’-hell of a pain x2′ guyu. Eka leri Malenga a va hupangi and I hope he can keep at this up, so he schools genge  yi nga sungula rap hi 2010.
Gasi ri kwini munhu a koka moya?

Here are the lyrics of Xinyela babeni by Gym Arrow:
(Hook)
We buti Xinyela Baben’ – hell of pain x2
We buti xinyela babeeeyn – xinyela baben’ x2
We Malenga x8 – mina/wena
(Verse)
Malenga in the building
I’ve been quiet the whole time, watch ya mina ayi miyerin/swendla ngari nilo lahleka coz vhele anikumekin/vani manyela khoneni/ vanivutisela swingakona heli/wen miyela miyela hambi yesu anga hlamuli hinkwaswu/vaku when are you coming back/when are you dropping a track/when are you making a move, hambi ninga tlangi chess/now the tables are turning up/turn turn turn turntables up/mfo do not test me ungenipasi mina ni sup/votala matlerisana kufana na classi ya maths/loko rihe rihisa/wotwa ku mhe na hisa/
(Hook)
(Verse)
So I came back with a bang bang/put a cap in your black head/I bang bang so unfair, it might sound like a gang bang/ni Malenga/Lenga lenga/kill a beat like a strangler/pull a D like a pornstar/so kasi like an all-star/they gonna see me on a poster/shouting out hey hey hey that guy is an intruder/kasi hi mina ninga khoma/
(Hook)
(Verse) – THE BEST VERSE OF THE SONG
Tatwa loko niku ndzawu/kuri kaley ndzhaku/onge kufike Vandzawu/utaswitwa ku ivadyi vabangu/vahi vitana vaCopi/Gym arrow aswiendli yinga copi/I’m cocky/wena wova nciza yinga khonkiki/original wena u copy/go big or go copy/stop it awungen khomi/I’m untouchable/detach bulls/touch cows/don’t touch bull/if you try bulls/you gonn end up in some troubles/I don’t shots umm I’m not bullet proof/ahi tshembhi wahlamba wena where’s the water proof/

HEAT OF THE WEEK: Vona ku ncica (remix) by Cool B feat. Mthimbani

This is how a remix should sound!

 Vo-mrapper learn that when u featured on a remix or a song by a singer, bring something catchy. On Vona ku ncica Mthimbani’s adlibs are too dope, hommie cruised on the song with adlibs and complemented the whole feel of the song. Cool B ra yimbelela u can’t take none from him, he keeps to the concept, his singing is not too much decorated which I fcuks with.

Now, back to ngwenya leyi, many say he’s whack but have u paid attention to his consistency? Ni vula Mthimbani, the Boy is even confident and he’s got that star power. He’s at a happy place, I foresee good music coming from this dude. Ngwenya these days ya trapper, it sounds ghetto and that’s the whole point.

Beat fits both artists, hook yi top and Cool B’s singing is top too, then ngwenya comes in with that nice rap… Mthimbani, don’t lost your ninja papa, nyamisoro wa wena wa ku tirhela. This song I give it a 4/5, now u wonder where did the 1 go – what were they thinking leaving the beat so long le makumu without lyrics? Hi nga dyelani data vafo. All in all, Cool B gets HEAT OF THE WEEK because the song slaps.

Wo ni ya xavelela ka madam, rirhandzu ra hina ri le ka ‘coma’ phela.

HEAT OF THE WEEK: Jelezi by Dee Michaels

Show me another kid who can do it like Dee Michaels, I’ll wait…. so u and I agree kuri jaha leri ri ndundisa genge hi mavidi. Since va yi tshika swi vava mkhulu, he’s been working hard in the booth, and now he’s dropping hits and all of a sudden vanhu se va na Jelezi. Yup that’s the jam of the week, dropped for the haters to shut the fcuk up and for the fans to sing along.

The beat is too nice, mid tempo shxt, I wonder where he gets his beats coz even his tape (Tsonga trap soul) had nice beats. He’s more of a singer, but this time he was doing some crazy and catchy flows, less words but direct, hook is nice and it’s a nice sing along. I give this a 4/5 because of the beat that is too long, I believe a short version of this Jelezi would make it played more but Dee Michaels’ fans to repeat the jam, nonetheless the song is dope.

HEAT OF THE WEEK: NDZA VABYA BY DEE EN KAY

Ngwenya almost got it, well in this case almost does count and I am rating this one as the heat of the week. First verse was too personal, the flow was too nice for a love song, and for the very 1st time ngwenya yi audible which is what he lacks on most songs.

The singing is bad, a yi teka chansi genge but the chance paid out, ni rhandza the originality and the authenticity although I felt like if he had a good singer to hook him up it would be a dope song.

Every English line is whack, that’s where he missed it.

“Loko kuri no vabya mi nga ni tshungurisi / loko kuri no lorha a hi sungurisi, kumbe mi ni pfuxi / mi nga ni phaphamisi / hambi no pfuka ni tsutsuma mi nga ni hlongorisi…”

The song needed only two verses, it is too long for a love song and ri tshiketa ndzilo when it drags for long. I’ll give this a 3.5/5 for the use of Xitsonga, the beat, and the emotions on the hook. The remaining 1.5 was lost ka xilungu na the duration of the track. But all in all, madala yi tirhini.
