Off his first
major offering “Masofa Panze”, Noble Stylez is one of those Non Harare (thankfully)
rappers who made enough noise this year that we are frankly surprised that he
isn’t on the nominee list this year for the Zim Hip Hop Awards.
His claim to fame…
The Masvingo MC
has apparently been around for quite some time and quite honestly,we did not
know him because of his music first. What caught our attention was the fact
that he always used to be that one person always criticising and incessantly
picking on Tatea Da MC, MMT and their outfit Rehab ENT. The streets say that,
the reason he did this was his mentioned adversaries were the reason why
underground rappers were not a getting a chance to shine. Whether most of his followers thought that
his adversaries controlled the flow of music on radio or what not we dont know,
but it all resulted in a huge internet following for the rapper who has fans
(he does not like them calling them that, he prefers using family) that will
bite your head off if you try and test the King of Wordplay. Listening to his
music, you can tell that it was bound to get to our ears sometime sooner than
later. That is why, PUSH will salute his decided strategy to attack MMT and Rehab
ENT as his way to be heard and seen. The results have been phenominal. We’re
not saying every-would be rapper should attack Rehab, Few Kings, Showtime or Zion
but they should at least show that they have the time to push their music.
Masofa Panze…
This album for
those who have listened to it is above par, no doubt. You will be kept
entertained by the out of this world themes, the beats are reminiscent of early
Zim rap in the years two thousand and somethings, but most of all, the guys
wordplay is just by leaps and bounds one of the best in Zimbabwe. We have
gotten so used to loud hip hop, escapist ideas and things centred around the
capital city so much that it is refreshing to know that there Hip Hop lives
outside the bounds of the capital city. Noble Stylez, not only can come up with
the wittiest punchlines, but he is also a good story teller. The narrations of
some of his tails on the album on songs like Mpho’s Story, Chamunorwa are
colourful and easy to follow. His other songs are your normal rap-like,
braggadocio songs like Madhorifiaya, Dhuku rechembere where he flexes and shows
you why he really is a force to be reckoned with. The other tracks on the album
are eye brow raising and controversial, touching on conspiracy theories such as
modern day World domination and other thought provoking issues such as life
after death, spiritual visitations and relationships with God.
But then again
Despite all the
good Noble Stylez has, he might be called the next Maskiri. Sometimes it feels
like you are listening to a remake of Maskiri. Mostly because their styles are
almost similar, the way the songs are presented also remind us of Maskiris past
albums such as Blue Movie and Muviri wese, the themes are also kinda similar.
But in the game of Hip Hop this is bound to happen some time or the other and
its not about who did it first its about who did it better.
The future for Noble Stylez
We would really
love to hear this MC getting a whole lot more airplay. We can almost see the
beginning of a legend in this rapper. He has gone against the grain, taking on
a big team, released an album without a major radio hit and as he is already a
respected free style artist, with an internet following that competes with some
of the heavy weights in the industry, his progression in the game is really
dependent on what he does as an individual ALL HAIL NOBLE STYLEZ…RISING KING OF
WORDPLAY.
