The official Artwork to for the single |
They brought you ‘wake up’ those who did not wake up, later on, smelt
the coffee when they dropped chart topper “Zvidhori” as if that was not enough,
a remix was soon released and it also hit Radio chart Top Positions! The Hip Hop Trio MMT
made up of Mariachi, M.C Cut and Tatea Da MC surely shook the Zim Hip Hop game
up, and now they are crossing genre’s with “will probably be part of your weekend
playlist dancehall meets hip hop song” CHAKAIPA feat Dadza D!
You might be wondering how we know all this, Well, we told
you before, we get the major scoops before anyone else does. We were privileged
to link up with one of the rappers from the group this past weekend and
listened to a snippet of the song…GOSH! The song, CHAKAIPA written and recorded
all in one day, with the instrumental of the song being made by renowned
Dancehall producer Kritical who also mastered the jam. Asked how this song came
about, MC Cut, explained to us that he had been listening to a song by Dadza D,
after which he was so impressed that he had to call the Dance hall sensation to
literally mouth to him over the mobile phone his idea for a hook. The artists
then came together, the beat was plotted and the song was done!
Dadza D and Kritical put final touches to the song |
The emcee explained and said “what we aim to do is bridge
the gap between the two genre’s and as usual we would like to work with
different artists and challenge ourselves to get out of our usual Hip Hop
comfort zone, enter into the unknown and come up with something crazy”
We have been informed that the song, which is a genre
transition song (fusion of hip hop and Dancehall they said) is the last of the four
singles to be released from the rap trio’s upcoming album “The MMT LP”. The album
will be available for sale on the 31st of this month. The album is set to have
14 tracks and part of the artist line up on the compilation will include, Kapital K, Munetsi, Alkamai, Tinashe Makura, Slimmz27, Fungai
Nengare and many more he said. The never afraid of controversy rapper also told
us that, “you can expect the truth on this album and the truth is always
controversial when you have the guts to say it”.
