IS IT MMT VS THE WORLD?


Even though the Few Kings Album has undeniably been a success, one cannot help but sense what seems like the insecurity of the Few Kings’ fans as they are going all out to attack MMT before they even release their project, the MMT LP. Prompting us to ask: is MMT that scary? Are all these shots that are being fired a confirmation of the success that MMT has achieved in such a short period of time with four hit tracks on radio? They always say Bullies only Bully because they are afraid and insecure. So is the industry afraid and insecure. Are they afraid of MMT… are they insecure of their abilities or are the Few Kings fans just being loyal. Why do we feel this way? Because honestly, let’s look at it... Few Kings fans are not praising the Few Kings album as much as they are bashing MMT. Shouldn’t this all be about The Feeling Ain’t Fair?

What does it look like now? It looks like for your project to be accepted as dope, it must have surpassed MMT. Is MMT the industry’s current benchmark for success. Has Rehab Ent, with its string of “turn up” songs engraved its spot on pole position in the industry. Is it so bad that not only the artists but also the fans now know that once MMT is beaten…Success is achieved. Is this the case or are we reading too much into simple fanaticism?

These are exciting times! Some people may not want to say it but the release of rap trio’s Few Kings album The Feeling Aint Fair has now put fellow Hip Hop group MMT on the spot as their album, The “MMT-LP” drops in a couple of  days. That however has not been the only highlight this week, followers of MMT might also be familiar to rapper Noble Stylez who had since been throwing shots at MMT and its associates prior to the release of his mixtape entitled “Masofa Panze”. Things got heated recently as a post by Rehab Ent (Rehab Ent is the label that houses the MMT Outfit ) manager Anonzi Xndr which looked like a jibe at Noble Stylez had social media buzzing. Hip hop enthusiasts including Noble Stylez himself did not have nice words to say about MMT and the affirmed producer. Later on, the Hip Hop trio was reported to have finally addressed the enmity with a “we are ready for war” message

As if that was not enough for the group, a YouTube video was uploaded yesterday which got our attention. The video, portrayed Rehab boss Xndr as a Hitler complaining about the success of the popular Hip Hop groups Few Kings album, The Feeling Aint Fair. The video pokes fun at MMT’s recent releases which include “Chakaipa” which featured dancehall star Dadza D and the video to the remix to their hit song “Zvidhori” which MC, Stunner and dancehall artist and DJ Smiley.The video also “throws shots” at Rehab Ent’s rapper Marcques of the Zunguza fame and his stable mate Boi Mac, both who have met recent success on local radio stations. 

It got us thinking as PUSH (as it would any student of O-level History) that has Zimbabwean Hip Hop Industry become World War II where Rehab and MMT have become the Super Power Germany that forced the world to unite for its only shot at beating them. One cannot help but notice the similarity of the historical war which also featured a war on two fronts that MMT seems to have to battle, Noble Stylez on one end and the large collection of Few Kings fans on the other. Is MMT beaten or has MMT become the team to beat?


Well the answer is all up to you. The Few Kings album is available for download on www.fewkings.com  . We shall be posting our review of the more than 6000 downloads in 24 hours album “The Feeling Aint Fair” before the end of the day.  PUSH
