HEAT OF THE WEEK

Genge yiri ku dissiwa Mthimbhani in this song…..ma penga na? Mi kahle marha nhlokweni vafo? Mina anaha tshami la mi nga kona. Anyway if there’s beef we will definitely hear Mthimbhani say something hi ku swakudya swale ka makhoma yi swi rhandza ngo ngwenya liya. Vuyakaya let me tell you about a song called Vuyakaya,tshika beef mina na nyama loko u vulavula hi swakudya. Mr ‘I hype myself’ aka BOET (bars over every thing) better known as Leo Bee has made a come back,not because he had left but because he had to shut Genge when it comes to Wordplay,puns and metaphors you name it. And…..he did, here’s your Heat of this week,or should I say of the month because nhweti ya July has been dry nwino,ti heat a ti kala ku fana na gelegele le Palms Chiawelo. Cleinbuoy came through with a dope beat,hardcore,a perfect stage for an MC to showcase his skills. ‘ I got em hooked , se va jike ka Hina ,
damn Se nwana u Nkulu/
U teke na nsati, u kume na n,wana/
well Xikwembu xikulu/’. Hi loko a nghena phela Leo, giving you something to think about. He has a song called Jika ka Hina, an album named Nwana u Nkulu and I heard he has child and a wife,what a skillful way to brag about his accomplishments and still thank God (Xikwembu xikulu). Leo’s place ka tsongarap has been questioned lately by genge,you know mus, genge being genge. And he heard the questions, he answered and was very direct and maybe this is the reason some think it’s a diss song to Mthimbhani unless he’s the whack one making it vanwu vulaku on these lines, hlaya uti twisa nwana tati. ‘Leswo huma hi fastere laka game aniswlavi/No tshama hik fostela na swona aniswlavi/I can’t even dab leswa swag swan tsandza/They succeed while whack ninge hemb swan vava’. We could go on and on with his lyrics to show you the writing skills and why he’s considered one of the best MC’s ka tsongarap,but why waste time if you can rather hear for yourself? The beat is dope, the concept is dope because it is so provocative na genge yi chuhwini,the usage ya language and the emotion is dope too. See why it’s a heat of the week? Tick all the boxes if you want a hit, 1. Beat must be dope, 2. Emotions, 3. Concept vanhu va hosi 4. There’s no tsongarap without LANGUAGE so use it…with these 4( yes there’s more) you can easily get that heat. Teka link,download the jam and play it and if you need lyrics too,ti kona famba hlaya. I must add that his work is organised, dyondzani genge dyondzani. Ni vuyela gasini

Heat of the Week

Kuthwa ‘what happened to the reviews man,we have been releasing and you haven’t been featuring our tracks what’s up?’. Well,we got tired of always releasing timbodza ta nwina so we took our time to search for a Heat of the Week. And yes we finally did get it, Jalter Jay came through with Deeboy hi number number called Driven. Hi tshame hansi hi yingisela, hina va gelegele music hi happy hi Driven and here’s why. Jalter rapped,I was scared lol but boy came through. He switched flows,dropped a couple of dope lines and I was happy that he added more of tsongasauce to it coz let’s be honest,ngwenya is more comfortable hi xinghezi when it comes to his raps, and gelegele music is not ‘Driven’ by that, get it?. The beat is on point, Cleinbouy is comfortable with these soulful beats, and  the concept is dope too because it complements the beat.I even felt Jalter’s emotions on his verse ‘today is a new chapter very next day a new one/no stop signs so A luta Continua/. I’m sure you wondering why I am not talking about the second verse,well aniri busy ni gayela verse ya Deeboy majita ishuuuu(fire emojis). Boy gave the song life,he gave it the energy,he gave the song direction and he surely won our hearts. Jalter did the best he could (without taking anything away from his verse),but ngwenya leyi is just on another level vanhu va hosi. I think it’s about time we agree kuri ka Tsongarap Deeboy is the only rapper who has the sting, loko mi kaneta yimisani voko ni vona. I mean come on,his flow is just too much,he’s writing skill is bananas and obviously his rhyme schemes and wordplay ti chavisa valoyi. ‘Awu ta swi Cava njhani kuri ni bloma mpancini/xitarata xa kasi ni xi bambini/..’ here he’s referencing on his previous joint called Ku dess Ku less which he shot a video le mikhukhwini Soshanguve where he resides. Well,I can write a book hi Deeboy coz damn he’s hotter than the the most of yall if not all. Rate ya nghoma leyi 4/5, the usage ya language(Xitsonga)was proper,beat is easy on the ear too,the hook is an easy sing along and because Jalter rapped and he did actually very good. Hina va gelegele session hi happy, nwina ke? Siya mavonelo ka comment section hitwa. Teka gasi and get driven

Mukufukufu Wa Vhiki

The line up is exciting, question iku will the performance match the names kumbe it will be a ‘mabena mabena’ performance? Let’s dive in and unpack the jam Janfirst and the gang J kronick, Spacemunna and Mskulie served us. Well, ‘January’ has been claiming the Tsongarap title for a very long time,more like forever without even releasing,hi ku komisa it was all talk no action. Well,here the dude came with cheesy lines and obviously he did what’s expected and that is claim the throne again. ‘I’m untouchable ku fana na cherry ya futa’, ‘when I started a kaya a vaku nleku pengeni now the tables have turned valeku sakeni ku fana na nwana loko ari ku mamemi’ these are some of the cheesy lines First is always throwing at people on his freestyles, I’ve heard them before. He even went as far as saying ‘rap yale xitandini,u rapela mahlangeni ti punchlines ti tsaliwa xtangeni’, if I’m not mistaken na Lesson used these lines before, I wonder who is biting who. What I’m trying to show here is that, First gave us the usual stuff,he didn’t bother writing as hard as he’s capable, this verse doesn’t strike me as ‘mu pfuli wa ndlela ya tsongarap’ kumbe the pioneer as he claims. And we obviously expected him to mention Oskido too,although on that show I believe he’s yet to represent Tsongarap. On the second verse they got Spacemunna, I won’t say much about this fella coz gelegele sessions is more concerned about the language ya Xitsonga….wait,does this mean I shouldn’t have said shit about verse ya January? I mean I only heard Xitsonga here and there in those cheesy lines..fuck let me just go through it ke, Spacemunna got dope flows and shit. Loved it when he said he went from performing to farming just to feed the army,he added my favourite line on the song where he mentions that it doesnt matter which movement you are pushing,we gotta unite and do it for Limpopo, and this line justify why i am reviewing his verse lol. That’s it, leswi swinwana aniswi twangi coz I struggle with the language and him being inaudible as well. But he had better flows than both Janfirst and the lady on the last verse that goes by the name of Mskulie. I have had many praises shem, some even went as far as naming her the Queen of Tsongarap. I did my research and listened to a couple of songs and some I was impressed and some I wasn’t. But here’s what I can tell you about this lady,she can write and I believe she’s most lethal on battle raps and freestyles. In terms of making a good song,I’m still not yet convinced especially when she goes vernac. I believe she raps better in English than vernac, maybe that’s how she started her raps ahi tivi. I’m just happy that she’s trying hard to write more in vernac than anything. On the Ahi fambi remix by Mkwamula aka Dala fam she mentioned something about wanting to quit rap and Dala said no,on this song she mentioned the ‘quit rap’ line again. Wa tati, make up your mind and tell us if you letting go or going forward with it. Can this be the last time please,hi karhele ku tshama ka touchline. All in all,I hope she improves her vernac Pen Game coz gelegele music is really behind that, and we love it. Well,personally I don’t jam with the song but genge might fall for it. Here’s why I don’t like the track,the language is not represented well,the names did not live up to their standard,it’s a good song and that’s it. It doesn’t move me,Janfirst rapped the usual, Mskulie rapped what I feel like it is a ‘I’ve heard before’ raps and she wasn’t really flowing nice with the beat and Spacemunna was just not audible enough. I loved this though, the beat,the flow ya Spacemunna and the hook,although the hook is kinda empty but it is a bit catchy if you play it long enough, you will get caught. We giving this one 3/5 rating. By the way Kronick wa chaya beat,gelegele music is happy with your production. Anyway,here’s the link mitwa hi nwexe…gasi

Mukufukufu Wa Vhiki

Ku busy ka Facebook hi nghoma leyi, half say it’s dope and the other vari I mbodza. Well since we have been doing this for a while and we take our time with it, I think we should have a final say. I can almost hear ti voices ta genge, ‘who TF do you think you are’ well the answer is, ni gelegele music and reviews is what I do. Madblaq has been impressive for the past 2 years, project ya Ntsanwini earned him respect and street cred ya genge. He’s got dope flows, he’s beat production has been dope too. Back to the remix, where he has Gmax, Dee Michaels, and Uglyrap. From this line up obviously one expect a dope match, marha at the same time niggaz fumble when they are out to kill each other. Beat and hook is nice, problem i audibility, I mean WTF is Uglyraps saying? He’s got nice flow and the songs changes when he comes on but one need to listen a million times to hear what he’s saying. And yes, we have said this on our previous reviews kuri ngwenya ayi twali…honestly the only audible person on the song is Michaels, and I am impressed by this young fella…he rapped lol. Hiku komisa, 1st 2 verses are dope, Ugly gave us flow but nothing to hear and Mad didn’t put effort compared to his previous work. Packaging wasn’t impressive too, it would sound different if Gmax took the 1st verse alone,Dee shared with Ugly and Mad kills it off. But we know how yall do features, less planning. Mi jahela ku rapper that’s it. This one gets a rate ya 3/5, ra kufumela. I ‘mkufkuf’ swilo leswi. Here’s what others are saying about the joint kuri ninga vambiwi niri ndzexe. Hosi ya magelegele ya vulavula

Mabibi Ya Mbilu

Hi vuya na timbuva,now Ezzi has promised to drop hits every Sunday starting  from today 23/06/2019 to 21/07/2019. Ezzi confirms that the project will be the best Tsongatrap mixtape to ever drop as he intends to redefine it. Since he is the one who started it together with his team C-siders, it is only right for him to give us the true definition of Tsongatrap. What he said was ‘Genge a yi ready’. Now that’s how we going to make it up to you guys for staying away for so long. Ntiyiso iku, the reviews will continue and yes I will still have MBODZA YA VHIKI na HEAT OF THE WEEK as always. This is your chance to review Ezzi’s songs as it is his chance to show you how it’s done,phela u nga kuma kuri na yena wa babamela sweswi lol.

YI SUKINI: Mthimbhani puts album on hold to attend to beef ya yena na DMS

The war has been declared.

img-20190124-wa0000 (1)

Will DMS answer this time around or what?

If ma tsunduka, Black Coffee said put it in song –  I mean putting an end to this beef with music would be amazing for hip hop and for their fans.

Mthimbhani, Mr love songs, u karhele u ri a yi suki once loko yi suka. This time around it will be different because Xphola, used to be on DMS’s team is now with Mthimbhani. Xivutiso i ku, will he leak  dirt on his old camp (DMS) kumbe he will stand aside?

Another thing is that I am concerned about Mthimbhani coz he’s putting his album aside for this. Is it worth it? Vhele ka hip hop street cred yi important, but so is the money. Well, hina hi ta yimela tinjamba.

Good luck gentlemen,  a ku cakunyanhiwi. Hosi ya genge yo li mbya gasini.

HEAT OF THE WEEK: Rirhandzu ra Ntiyiso by Macedo

Who said ku hava ti love songs with a message that touches one’s emotions la ka Tsonga Rap? Well whoever did say that needs to listen to Macedo’s Rirhandzu ra Ntiyiso, the song connects and it’s rap in done in Xitsonga. This is well orchestrated, I wouldn’t say I’m surprised though because this has been his shxt for 3 years now. What his been doing is to release a song dedicated to his partner and he nails it every time. Himpela wa rhandziwa n’wana Mhani Shivambu #TsongaLove. On Rirhandzu ra Ntiyiso Macedo teamed up with Cleinbouy on the beat to give us this soulful Tsonga Rap love song.

So how is Rirhandzu ra Ntiyiso heat of the week? Let’s check the 5 fundamentals;

  • The BEAT is dope for a love song, less swichayachayani and straight to the point. Vavasati will love this jam, niggas gonna have it on repeat exihundleni.
  • The HOOK is a dope sing along, easy to remember and everyone in love can relate.
  • The EMOTIONS on this song are real and honest, the boy meant every word he was saying. He makes one wanna fall in love a ta khensa va Mhani n’wingi.
  • The LANGUAGE was used fairly although there’s random unnecessary use of xizulu, which does not add any value, hi na wona marito for the words he borrowed ka ririmi ra vo Mfaniseni. At the end of the day hi pusha language gents so it very important to make one hear why do we call this Tsonga Rap.
  • Macedo’s DELIVERY is matured and he was smooth with it, phela la ngwenya a yi tiyisa muti so he needed to be audible and gentle  kuri na nkata a swi twa coz va endlele yena track leyi.
  • He didn’t lose the concept at all, and I am glad his LYRICS ti valavula hi rirhandzu ra ntiyiso.

Ngwenya was serious when he wrote this song and since he ticked off all the fundamentals, we giving this one a 5/5 rating. This is our heat of the week.

“niku rhandzile swi nge cinci/na ku tshembisa ni nge cheat/mbilu ku vava ni nge ku twisi/nkata mina ni nge ku tshiki/ni ya mahlweni ni nge jiki/nkata mina lowo fanele hi mpahla le ya pinky…”

Since ni twi risimu leri, munhu xi busy no lava lavana na xicherhani hala kgaxakgaxeni, kumbe munhu a nga kuma xo fa tihlo, mo hi endla hi ri karhi hi ya kwale #gasini.

MBODZA WA VHIKI: Vari Rap Yifile by Triple Tise

By the title of the song one expects know kuri ku va na resurrection with proper bars full of life, kambe ka Vari Rap Yifile rap yi endliwi nsele. I really do not know what Triple Tise was trying to do. You can’t have a title that provocative, a title that says ‘I got this’ ivi I endla mbodza wa so.

These are the songs that give genge the plaak to say ku rap yi fini, i ta ku i yini – “follow your mum to the kitchen and learn how to beef“. I must be honest kuri HOOK is catchy and it flows nice with the BEAT, it’s a dope sing along. But the verses did not do justice to the beat, the hook and the whole concept of the song.

“Vo mrapper a ni va feel/kova ti empty diss/disc..” –  Triple Tise clearly has no friends.

Let’s talk about DELIVERY… well it’s off, some lines were rushed and Triple Tise is constantly running after the beat. You can’t have a dope song regardless genre if u don’t tick off all the necessary boxes.

This song I will only give it a 2 for the beat and the hook mara leswi swin’wana I mbodza and I hope Triple Tise does better next time. There’s room for improvement and definitely the boy has potential.

Hosi ya magelegele yi lo mbya egasini…
