finally after such a long wait...Young Nash sets the date for the release of his mixtape as Saturday May 5 2012.
Once Rehab ENT’s youngest member, his sound is far from it now, growing from a tiny voiced emcee to Anonzi Xndr’s beat making protégé. But its not his kicks and claps we are immediately interested about….NAAAH… its his for the past three years..we've been promised a mixtape whose name's inspiration we have been told was from ABSURD'S (the rapper who took him in) Skitsophreniamixtape.
When i heard it the first time i was like para- what?? but yeah...Paraphernalia!! he says this means tool because this mixtape is his tool to the big time, to fulfilling his dreams, to making something of himself, tool to the girls, the cash, the bright lights....paraphernalia
what is it about Young Nash?? Maybe it’s the green theme cover design by MYKOL who is also behind cover for the HTOWN mixtape or his (“he looks like he might fall of stage”..someone said) vibrant performance at the inaugural Hip hop unleashed Awards…could be that. Or… the features..the nineteen track mixtape boasts of a varied aray of emcees and vocalists going all out to kill youngnash on his own songs (a decision we shall let y'all decide). From cocky sounding rapper MC Cut (SAME GUY WHO LACED Streets OF htwn together wth Alkamai, Mariachi and Darkface), Micha, former Ammunition (who sang surprisilngly well on the track around the world), the same group that gave you Tricycle and Spotlight songstress and rapper… to lil sways the new young rapper who is getting lots of fm airplay with his Mixtape...
there is also a good number of records where he features other artistes like Mikiale who does the hook for him in letting go; and punchliner Ishy X who features on the track satisfaction together with Absurd.
OH YAH… he also features Ay-R and Negye (Bulawayo born rapper who opened arguably the best remix in 2012..streets of skyzcity..[remix to streets of htwn]) both from Hip Hop RnB Ludicrous Rapertoire on a sampled Maskandi guitar number creating a song of sound that one can argue has never been heard off a Zimbabwean rapper..
Rehab Ent CEO and main producer Anonzi Xndr also features on get it on which was the first release from the mixtape some time back. Another rapper on the mixtape is Preach…another new comer set to release a joint mixtape with Youngnash later in the year. The first song by the duo ‘is real’ which features on the mixtape is set to have its video shot soon.on that song both artiste shows immense characters and dropped rhymes that'd make all emcees envious!! they both deliver captivating punchlines while Peach gives punchlines and metaphors fit only for an intelligent mind.
Young Nash doesn't hesitate to share his energy with the audience in this offering, and he has shown immense generosity as well; making this a 21 track offering. a wonderful line up of tracks showing his talent..this young teenager has shown his character and that he is coming to make a mark on the music industry. we look forward to hearing him on radio, and personally we think he might take Best new comer at this years Hip Hop Awards.
Young Nash also showed his producing skills by including a house - ish dance instrumental, earthertron on the mixtape. this is no doubt a show how his talent varies and how versatile he is as an artiste and producer! its a nice chill at home tune to listen to when you don't want lyrics messing up your thought process.
what makes this mixtape awesome could also be the beautiful line up of producers on the drums and notes for the project,..SimbaTags, Mr Showtime threw two on to the compilation, while Kamikazekosh and never disappointing Tizzy had one each Paraphanelia. Surprisingly, the producers who we thought would have a lions share of the beats xndr and drizzy also had a song each on it. Impressively though, MingCow…aka
Young Nash … produced eleven of the nineteen tracks on Paraphanelia, rumour having it that he had more than 30 beats lined up for the mixtape that didn’t make the cutlist on the final offering. The tracks he produced have a lovely feel and show how much he has grown under
Anonzi Xndr 's guidance
OK honestly this mixtape is a must listen!! one would think since it has 21 tracks it will be hard to go through but we found ourselves listening to the mixtape on repeat all day. it flows nicely from one track to the next..
honestly ..good job Young Nash
our favourite tracks on the mixtape would have to be Hurting that, is real, around the world, GP swag(growth point Swag),and ...ah hell we love the whole thing...listen to it all.
Goog lookin' out YoungNash! REHAB ENT!!!
