The Radioactive Mixtape Demo #FD @2tukani #Bulawayo #Zimbabwe



Today marks a very special day for me. It's not only the day I "finally" release my first solo project, but it's also the day my father was born. Well, I'm sure he would have been pleased to listen to it if he was still around.

This "mixtape demo" is a compilation of some of the tracks I've done so far, dating back to the year 2013. They are not a lot though. The reason why I called it a "Mixtape Demo" is because it's a preliminary mixtape (It's not my official Mixtape). I decided to release this project so that people can have an idea of who The Activist is and what to expect when he drops the official tape/ album (which will be before the end of this year). The first track I'm going to talk about is "Who we are" which features Static and Baffy who are both upcoming, underground Hip hop artists from Bulawayo. This is a very chilled track, and has a similar concept to one of Common's old jams (You will definitely recognize the similarity if you're a big Common fan). Common is definitely one of my favorite rappers. The second track I'll briefly talk about is "Africa" , which I recorded with my rap group BYO - Building Your Origins and it featured in our first mixtape "Building Blocks". It's also a chilled jam, whereby I was rapping over a beat-box melody. My favorite line from this track is " Yes we need more positive actions/ cause actions speak louder than African accents/ ... ". If you're into lyricism , I'm sure you will like this track. The next track that I will talk about is "Freedom Activity". This track basically exposes who The Activist is, and what I'm trying to do with my music. So far, out of all my tracks, this seems to be the fans favorite. The last track is a joint I did with a good friend of mine who goes by the name "AKidWit_No_Tahg". It's my latest track, and it has an old school vibe to it. We decided to call the track : "The Bars Show" because it had a relaxed feel to it that made it sound as if we were spitting dope bars at an open mic session (Shout out to the host "Bars")

I decided to throw in a poem I recited were I talk about my city (Bulawayo). I'm also a poet who has published a couple of books/ anthologies. I've been privileged to work with prominent people such as Mcpotar , Ernest Mackina , Njabulo Moyo, and yes, Albert Nyathi. The poem is very short and sweet. I also through into the mixtape demo an instrumental that I made quite a while ago. Feel free to use it, and also send the track back to me so that I give it a listen. (I would encourage you to use the same title of the instrumental for your track , because I would love to see who's more creative, but feel free to use your title if you feel the need to). Well, that's about it for now, feel free to give me feedback on twitter @2tukani . Peace!!!

Makokoba Township Hip Hop Festival "Raptism" - Bulawayo #Zimbabwe #22_02_2015 #Star_Open_Mic_Set

Makokoba is a suburb of Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. It was the first black African township in the city.
The suburb is named after the actions of Mr Fallon, the Native Commissioner, who used walk around with a stick. The name comes from the word "ukukhokhoba" which in the local Ndebele language means "bending and walking with a stick'. It was referring to Mr Fallon as "the little old man who walks with a stick". The word actually describes the noise of the stick hitting the ground ko-ko-ko or the doors.
Association footballers Adam, Madinda and Peter Ndlovu come from Makokoba, as do music, arts, dance and theatre group Amakhosi Theatre and dance and theatre group Siyaya.
After independence the first councillor of the township was Nicholas Joel Mabodoko of ZAPU and the first member of parliament for the constituency was Sidney Malunga of Zapu.

Zubz The Last Letta (Zambia - Zimbabwe - South Africa) : "Stereotypes" single On #FD


Zubz The Last Letta is a Zambian born, Zimbabwe-raised and South Africa-based hip-hop artist. He has earned his title as one of SA’s most respected Emcees through his music; three albums – all critically acclaimed and a number of mixtapes, compilations and cameos. Zubz’s attention to detail when it comes to his lyrical content has set him apart from other rappers and his insight into the realities of people in three different countries has helped colour his storytelling abilities.

His musical repertoire has led to him collaborating with artists from all over the African continent including Liz Ogumbo from Kenya, Manifest from Ghana and Holstar from Zambia amongst others. He has also graced stages with the likes of Pops Mohammed, Sibongile Khumalo and Holland-based pop sensation Giovanca.
Zubz has taken his artistry to a new level by adding guitar player and singer to his list of talents and skills which include producer and composer. He’s currently working on his fourth offering, which will show off these talents. The album, titled Dragon Lion Full Circle, marks a decade of being a solid voice
in African hip hop.


Label : Quiet Riot Media


Hip Hop Artist/Activist Zubz The Last Letta has released a second single from his upcoming album, DragonLion FullCircle.

On July 24th of this year, Zubz released the first track from his fourth studio project; Extras. Hot on the heels of that release is his second single Stereotypes.

Produced and mixed by Zimbabwean music composer/singer/songwriter Simba Tagz, Stereotypes is a percussive celebration of all who rise above the limits ascribed to them by society. Punctuated by horn blasts and open snares, the track immediately conjures mental images of a marching band at a winners’ parade.

“This song is literally a toast” says Zubz, “to all who took every negative stereotype attached to their person or circumstance and turned it around to become so much more!” Lyrically the song’s powerful messaging is divided into Male (verse 1) and Female (verse 2).

Zubz debuted Stereotypes on South Africa’s biggest youth radio station, YFM, on Friday 14 September and immediately made the song available shortly after for free download. Says the artist, “YFM as a platform represented for me a place where I learnt that there were people just like me who were doing extraordinary things in my own town! It made me want to rise above my circumstance too. So I had to start sharing that message on the same platform I learnt it from.”

Stereotypes is only the second of many more songs that are pegged for release off the new Zubz album DragonLion_FullCircle.

Fore : "Going Back Is Not The Same As Staying" on #FD + @NoPulpMusic Shwocase 13.04.2013



Having lived on four continents before the age of eighteen, Rapper/Producer Fore was exposed to a wide range of cultures and experiences that allowed him a culturally pliant sense of self that is reflected in his music, which mines samples from wide- ranging influences like the Cocteau Twins and Mali’s Amadou and Miriam.

Lyrically, Fore's work is punctuated by complex rhyme schemes that betray a childhood affinity for Big L, Big Pun and Nas with a modern sense of emotional honesty and artistic ambition
