UTANI TSUNDZUKA

What a breath of fresh air, the team ya gelegele music has been waiting for this sound for a very long time. loko hi vulavula hi Xitsonga Urban Music hi vula swilo swo fana na leswi, and I am glad I have a perfect example. Lady Presh, who is not really new in the game, she has released a couple of nice joints a while back. She has given us something new,something fresh and definitely something to brag about. The last time I heard a pure RnB song from Mutsonga was by TK Mhinga, may her soul RIP. Lady Presh gave us a traditional RnB song, starting from a BEAT selection to the CONTENT (concept). Swa ma love love i swilo swa RnB, unfortunately la aku tshikiwa bhari. This is a sad love song where she speaks about letting go, since ngwenya ayi tsandzeka ku tsakisa wa tati, she is threatening to leave his ass. Utani Tsundzuka is our HEAT OF THE WEEK and here below we will give you the reasons why it is, having said that, we do have a couple of concerns that we feel she and her producers Mellowkid and Subzer could have done better. The QUALITY is very good, you can actually hear every single line and also her vocals are balanced and sounds easy on the beat.The CONCEPT is a typical RnB concept and she played safe which is the right thing considering kuri mjolo wu hi mbeya hinkwerhu so it is easy to connect to. The LANGUAGE u hi tsoni nyana sesi, if you listen well the lines that hit home are written hi XITSONGA and they are more powerful, I am here imagining this song hi XITSONGA from the 1st line to the last. However this does not mean the the lyrics are bad, I just feel like they would have been 10 times better if she gave us 80% ya Xitsonga then 20% ya English. Her FLOW went in smoothly with the BEAT also, S/O to Subzer on that as well. The only issue we had a problem with was the usage ya auto tune, it is not necessary to have more of it if the lady can sing without it. It also made the song lose EMOTIONS, if you do not listen carefully you would think that this is a happy song. Her voice is not sad enough,the emotions lacked and the team feels like the auto tune did not help but worsen the situation as well. But the team rated the song 7/10 which means with all these concerns it is still our HEAT OF THE WEEK. Listen to the song below and tell us what you think on the comment section. Hosi ya magelegele ya vulavula!!!!!

XATI FELA

I have heard a couple of times Blvc Vce (pronounced Black Ace) say this sound is not his comfort zone, or it is different to what he is used to. And for the second or third time the team ya gelegele music is saying kuri either jaha leri ri chava ku endla ti hit or he must tap out of his comfort zone because every time he does so u endla ti hit. 1st it was a hit called Vuya, a song with a lady with a beautiful voice MissK, Blvc Vce ‘this is outta my comfort zone’ sweswi i Xati Fela and that nigga is still saying the same thing. Kumbe yo tonga ku tiva mani, whatever the reason is hina hiri your ‘this is not my comfort zone’is your hit zone so stick to it. Urban Music wa Xitsonga ahi vuli Hip Hop ntsena kumbe House Music, hi vulavula hi vunanga bya so. Now before hi hangalaka let us give you reasons why Xati Fela is our HEAT OF THE WEEK. 1st is the BEAT, easy to the ear with less complications and when you think of this on a live set swilo swinga dlaya. 2nd is the CONCEPT, yes it has been used before but the approach is different and the LANGUAGE is not formal, he used our day to day slang (which is what we love too,if you read our reviews you will pick up kuri swa grammar kumbe xilungu xo dlaya ahi xikoti hina and ahi na mhaka lol). And one thing he has been consistent on i QUALITY and he is very audible which makes it easy to listen to. Although I must mention that I was not entirely happy hi ti BackUps ta the lady featured Hopey B,they were a bit loud and sometimes it was hard to hear her beautiful voice go,and I personally feel she was holding back. I was expecting her to burst out and elevate the song, am I sounding like Randall now ni swi tshika because leyi ahi IDOLS i Gelegele Music? Alright ke, listen to the song on link and tell us what you think. Hina hiri i HEAT OF THE WEEK marha ani nwina swilo swa kahle ma chava. Hosi ya Magelegele ya vulavula.

Ngholovhani

If they ask how Tsongatrap sounds, or perhaps they want to know kuri i mani who can represent it better, make sure to mention Simefree ha twana?. And he has been consistent phela, ango mbambela ani, xo swikota he nwina lol. Phela hi happy hala ka gelegele music hi mintirho ya jaha leri, and from what genge say about him, he is one humble kid who is always about his work. Ngholovhani is his latest offering, a motivational song that one gotta jam to loko  ari ku kokeni ka ribyi hi tissue. From Akutleleki (his previous heat), I thought he was going to have a difficult time giving us something bigger,guess what, he gave us something better. BEAT selection has always been on point, CONTENT yi chela ku hisa, FLOW yo rhelela he nwana madala and he switches em nicely xem, ende na HOOK yi koka rinoko nwinoo!!!. This is easily a HEAT OF THE WEEK, he has ticked all the boxes. This is what we call Tsongtrap la mutini and we will stick by it, the LANGUAGE needs to stand out 1st. Two things I love about Simefree, 1st iku his usage ya auto tune ayi tunguli and secondly his content is relatable whether on a happy or a sad song. We have said this before and we will say it again, this boy will change the game loko swi fika ka Tsongatrap. Not sure if it is good or bad,  but the song has been made available for ti cheese-boy leti to xava kumbe ku stream (all online stores) and also available for hina vo-malambhani le ka skheto.com. link hi leyi kwala hansi, wo hiya chovha Ngholovhani hina.

Bheka Mina

Many wondered where Brian Bomba was, I too did. This dude was known/played from Matiyani to Kwa-zulu Natal, his music was played by the young and the old. What an impact he had with his heat song Yellow Bone,oh what a time. Genge ya MLFM would not have an event without this dude headlining, he scooped a lot of awards too. He is an artist that saw, smelled and lived the fame life so trust me he has been there, which is without a doubt the main reason we had to get our hands on the newly released song by Rural Dreams called Bheka Mina. Hi hlamele kuri Rural Dreams ivo mani na hina,so we went out searching kuri hinga babameli, but ahi kumanga nchumu so hito babamela. Hina hi tiva Dee En Kay na Krazy-boy magaraba ntsena and we wish to find out kuri the 3rd member i mani. This was so close to be MBODZA YA VHIKI as much as it was to be the HEAT OF THE WEEK, I have never been this confused by a joint before. The BEAT is fire, easy to jam to, The HOOK is dope too, nwana Mhani MADYA KU BOMBA wa yimbelela swinene. He is so natural with it, he kept the song alive with his back ups also. Yup, that is the only thing I can say about the song, the BEAT and the HOOK. As for the verses, the raps did not hit home and I felt like the content is immature. Vafana va tsandzeka ku gangisa wansati? phela that is all that was needed, every line used on the verses is either very childish, something one has heard before or has nothing to show kuri kuna Bheka Mina xikarhi. This means it is not relatable, and when you try to compare songs with the same concept this is a bit weak. I am not saying this ku kandziyela majita but sometimes raps mess up joints like this,hi ku komisa it lacked EMOTIONS because niggaz wanted to RHYME more, tried hard to PUNCHLINE but forgot to lace words that even people who do not love hip hop can fuck with. Henny C (Phindha futhe), General Muzka( Wani Vambhela), and Paul Ndlovu(Hi ta Famba Moyeni) are some of the songs I think of under the same concept, I can throw in Yellow Bone too by Brian Mbomba. It is not a bad song, it is just not a great song especially looking at the names on it, and I also wanted to hear a verse by Brian, na swona va hi tsonile. A part of me feels like it was rushed, or maybe Briam Mbomba overwhelmed genge ahi tivi. Having said that, loko wo ri tlanga ka mbirhi ka nharhu you end up loving it because the hook is such a sing along. Your thoughts ka comment section hitwa, #gasini

HEAT OF THE WEEK

Few weeks ago Gele2 promised to not go away for a long time again, however the team also said the only reason for them to stay with you i ti-hits ntsena. hai, swiyi tsandza genge ahi mbodza ahi mbodza. Mthimbani paid for our stay with his latest release Dont Cross The Line (remix). This song and other remixes by artists like Cleinbouy na Dboy Ishu is the reason I believe kuri Tsongarap ya hanya, having said that, it is also the reason I think genge ya tsongarap yi lazy blind. Mi tiyisa voko(pen game) only on remixes or features, a lot of you do not even have songs on/of your own. If we had to listen to your songs individually hita twa mbodza, and again you guys are the reason we are not growing as fast as we should. Back to the song, I for one wouldn’t say the whole song is dope because there are really some WHACK verses and Mthimbani a fane a tiye nhlana a humesa thyaka but then again I believe a chava ku onha vuxaka. Sounds like a game of 2 halves so,swava Kaizer Chiefs na Pirates so. And you are forced to listen to the whole song, one verse is dope, the next is whack and then before you know it another is hitting you with dope lines and flow. I wont be mentioning rappers who were dope or rappers who were whack. But it would be lazy of me to not mention the 1st 3 verses. Mthimbani actually surprised me, we know he has the energy, anger and emotions on all his songs but bars???man he came with BARZ, he was spot on with each and every line. Krazboy and Nigga Young have become my favorites lately and I’d love to hear their own shit some day. DalaFam came in with some facts, he made it clear he still got it. He bragged a lot because he got the rights to, love the flow and the energy also. My favorite was Simefree, boy changed the fucking whole song when he came in and he is not even a rapper lol. S/O to Deona,it is relieving to know that we got few ladies in the house who can actually hold it down like she did. All she needs to do now is to be audible, I can not connect most of your lines although I was loving the energy and flow. I would love to hook her up na Ezzi (he is gonna kill me for this but fuck it, they would make one dope ‘HipPop’ song together).Wait, looks like I started mentioning what I said I wouldn’t so wo ni huma so. By the way, Mthimbani you said Ezzi was gonna be part of the track, kumbe yilo chuhwa ngwenya liya ya C-siders? hahaha we back, please do not chase us away again and if you try to do that,we going to name and shame you ka MBODZA WA VHIKI. Hosi ya Magelegele ya vulavula, tsiiiii!!!!!!!

What a life

Man oh man, I have been waiting for a sound like this. This is the kinda sound that will make the whole Tsongarap movement move, now we can start talking. I got tired of listening to the same sounds, same styles and same flows. If you wanna blow, you gotta stand out, and you gotta sound different and be the breath of fresh air. And this is what InnoMmas has done with this one, What A Life is a true definition of Tsongarap/Trap. I am proud, everything we have been preaching ka Gele2 for the past year or 2 has finally been applied. The use of the LANGUAGE(Xitsonga) has a huge impact ka risimu leri and that is what we have been asking more katz to try, we are not saying xikolo-kolo yimbelela hi Xitsonga ntsena but it is a must ku yimbelela Xitsonga. yes I know you are confused but if you stay close enough you will know the difference between ku yimbelela Xitsonga no yimbelela hi Xitsonga but that’s a lecture for another day. Right now we need to come back to the HEAT OF THE WEEK. InnoMmas, a young boy from Ngove, a village hala Giyani has teamed up with NtsakoBeatz to produce a smash heat called What A Life. The QUALITY is just proper, vhele boti Ntsako ayi hupa hupi when it comes to production and I must add that he is another to look out for ka ti-producer ta Vatsonga. Inno will undoubtedly be the deadliest ka Tsongarap/Trap if he keeps at this, with the right coaching of course. All he needs to do is trap more, use Xitsonga more and always keep EMOTIONS in his music like he did on this one. He has always had a dope FLOW, and I must say that his CONTENT has always been relevant. Ku yimbelela hi Xitsonga swatsokombela and ku yimbelela Xitsonga is even better regardless of the language you use, I must say that InnoMmas found out about that with this one. Gelegele Music yi happy to the point that we are nominating this one to be the contender ya a HEAT OF THE MONTH. Show me a Tsongarap/Trap song better than this at moment, better yet you can rather send it through hi yingisela hina va mandhleve. Enjoy this joint and more of his work on the links bellow. Niri genge, take your music serious we will take you serious, go back and rework that song because it is not ready if it does not beat this or be on the same level. nita yingisela ka radio, Genge!!!!!!!!!

Vana Va valoyi (VISUALS)

Check out the visuals of Vana Va Valoyi, a song by Makhevesa and DeeBoy. Now I was not really impressed by the joint when it first came out, I felt that these two could have given us more. They both have different dope styles, it was not the first time they work together and they are both giants ka Tsongarap. However, after seeing the video I must say that I am slowly loving the song so that makes me Thomas ani ni kholwa hiku vona. I love the shots taken and I love the fact that they have tried to paint the picture of how they live,where they live and who they live with. You could see kuri xiyimu xa timali xo endla video was not good but thier effort paid off. This is what you GENGE must invest in, if they cant hear you, let them watch you. Tell us what you think of the video on the comment section below. link hi leyi, Vana va valoyi!!!!

#handsoffmadjozi

Genge yi ta tshama yi ri genge, and it is actually a sad sight to see. Niggaz are out here trash talking Sho Madjozi and her music, ‘he he he, she’s whack,she can’t rap and she got no bass’ ku vula genge yo record xitangeni hi beat yo tshwama. Guys, Madjozi is bigger than our so called tsongarap movement and we need to accept that. But what we need to accept more is the fact that boxing her as a rapper is blesphemy, it is very childish for genge ya tsongarap to even think that they are better than her. It is also an insult to her career and the hard work she has put in, for genge to think she is where she is because of her p***y as you guys say. And I can assure you that she is not trying to be the best Tsongarapper nor be better than you, she has surpassed that and I can put it to you that she just wants to be the best she can be. Hands off Madjozi, yanani mahlweni mi chaya makabya ya nwina mi tshika sesi loyi! We should be out here celebrating her, marha hiku mi na macimba mi busy no phikizana na watati. ‘she aint got barz, she can’t rap”ku vula genge yitwa ku hlohlonhya ka mavidi le ka facebook. We all about the movement ya Xitsonga Urban Music and the 1st thing we need to do is to stick together and have each others’ back. If I were you, I’d be asking for a feature instead of makabya lawa miwa endlaka. C-siders, Dala Fam na Gym-arrow had a chance to play around with her in the studio, why can’t you try and do the same? and if you feel like you don’t need that, leave her alone with her weak bars,leave her alone na puca yakwe and definitely leave her alone with her AWARD aniri. Imagine the whole BET recognising her marha wena mbuyangwani u busy no valavula kwembe.

 

Ku Kula

Words of wisdom to the young ones, do not grow up because it is a trap!. Trust me joni ya vava/ndlala ya dlaya/ku khola ka nuhwa vusiwana bya nyanya/. Here I am trying to freestyle and this is caused by the jam I am listening to. A song needs to emotionally provoke you, you need to be part of it, step in the shoes of the artist and feel/imagine what he is going through. EMOTIONS play a very huge part in making a heat song, and that is what Jalter Jay jaha ra ka Nyavani has done with this one. Ngwenya yi koka ribye hi tissue on this song, you can hear xirilo xa boti leyi, himpela ku kula swavava. I felt him when he said ‘vutomi byani bavela ni koka hi diff’, nigga made me think of rent ya Mhani-stand hiku leswa lockdown a vaswi ngheni. Ku Kula is a song produced by CliveBeatz,Cleinbouy and NtsakoBeats and I must say they took their time with it. The QUALITY is proper, the BEAT is too dope and I am happy with the fact that they chose a trap beat to lace this very emotional song. Jalter decided to feature EmcStyleSA (I still wanna know what his name means), now StyleSA has a way of giving any song a dope energy of which he did not do on this song. He was quite reserved and lacked that energy that we know him of, however it does not make it a bad verse but it does not hit the right spot that I’d expected knowing him. I feel like he did not dig deep and tell us what he is going through, meaning the verse was not ‘honest’. The CONTENT is relevant though, and every grown up can relate to this and that is the main reason we make music, we want people to relate. All I can say is do not spoil our comeback hi mbodza, so far so good and I can undoubtedly say GENGE yi ready. Here is your HEAT OF THE WEEK people, Jalter Jay ft EmcStleSA! Enjoy. Hosi ya Genge yi koka gasi, nita yingisela ka radio
