VERSE-TILE ‘’THE RHYME EXTRODINAIRE” Muziwandile Fakudze aka Verse-tile is an Emcee born and bred in Mbabane Swaziland, who uses his music to tell his life story and express his opinions on life in general, he is a lyrically gifted artist with incredible story telling and rhyming abilities. Verse-tile fell in love with hip-hop at a very young age, majorly influenced by the 90s g-rap heavyweights 2pac and BIG. Than in the year 2000 the emergence of hip hop extraordinaire EMINEM brought another aspect to hip hop in Verse-tile, he was intrigued by this white boy that wanted to takeover an industry that was predominantly black. Eminem influenced him to start writing and scripting lyrics. In 2006 Verse-tile moved to Durban to study and that is where his love for Music resurfaced.

Linda Gabriel AKA Poetic Angel, born in 1985, is one of the crop of exciting female performance poets to emerge out of Zimbabwe. Bilingual, her linguistic versatility is forged into brilliant poems written in either English or Shona, depending on which language effectively expresses what issue. She started performing poetry in high school and has since participated in major literary events in Zimbabwe, the rest of southern Africa and Europe.
