Navy seal… rapper reppin skycity!!

 the term Skycity was a term I first heard from the rapper Negy’e [phonetically nay-gee-e] and that’s what he calls Bulawayo! Skycity has kinda grown on me. It is derived from the Bulwayo’s nickname Skies

The term KINGSVILLE also refers to Bulawayo...derived from the fact that its called The City Of Kings

So we profiling a rapper out of Kingsville who goes by the name Navy seal. His name makes him sound like a hard nigger doesn’t it. Well he is! Listening to the tracks I could get off the internet, this guy could easily be out of any of the burrows with Americas hardest sounding artistes. His voice goes just as hard as his lyrics.

Naturally having gone through a coupla these it was a shock that I actually bumped into a softer song called lovebites. Officially my current Navy Seal favorite! He worked with the very talented sisiyante, Mic-a-blaze and T kreud on that track. Still bumpin to it now!! Between the crazy lyrics, Sisiyante’s voice and the beat…we were totally taken!

So we asked him about his first mixtape [cover done by J.F.K]  titled Across The Borders release on the 29^th of January this year. It was released under Banks Beats Studios and prompted by Navy Seal’s affiliation with Botswana based producer T-R-Hitz. T-R-Hitz supplied most of the beast for this mixtape and the results of this partnership were just wonderful. So the concept of two talented entertainers working to make inspiring Hip Hop despite the geographic separation brought about the name of the mixtape : BEYOND BORDERS.

We managed to find the full mixtape on reverbnation and it was a good listen, especially for people who miss hard hip hop, that will motivate you to get on your grind and work for things to move. He features a lot of people; icy (PAPERBOY), ART DEPARTMENT, JAMBO, FORBES, KAYSIE, ROBBIE, CENTRE PARTY  to name a few

Navy seal himself states that “Hip Hop is alive in Kingsville & Zimbabwe as a whole and my intention is to never let it slip”
Navy Seal along with the whole Team Navy will be in studio as of the 19^th of this month(may) working on the follow up Mixtape.. and I expect it will be another great offferingand something to look forward to!!

here's their announcement of the new upcoming mixtape...
