singer/ songwriter based in Zimbabwe with the mission to make hits and entertain

I am a diverse Artist with  mad love for old school music and I put God first.

Neo-Nziyo is the new genre in town and GtG Hvndsom3 is its pioneer. The prolific Zimbabwean creative has enjoyed a storied career that has seen him release 4 full projects and a number of quality singles in the last 9 years, yet he aims to keep pushing boundaries to redefine what a Zimbabwean musician can create. 

The music bug stung him at the tender age of 13 and he found himself mimicking his favorite rapper Bow Wow as well as learning how to produce music under the mentorship of eccentric hitmaking producer Clay Knockout. 2010 saw him release his first project called The DOG Mixtape, which was well-received among his peers. In 2013 he returned with The Calvary Assignment, which had Christian themes at its core. The following year would see him release Straight Mixtape with collaborator Joseph Diswal and move to North Cyprus, which would have a profound effect on his growth as a man and artist. By then he had performed on prestigious stages such as the Harare East Young Generation Conference and appeared on the YGT programme on ZBC. 

After working on several collaborations and unfinished projects, The Hvndsom3 Tape 1 came in January 2017. After this came an interesting period where GtG underwent drastic changes that would lead him to explore alternative sound and move from a more conventional hip-hop sound to new sonic territory. The raps were still good but he'd built a new home for them, Neo Nziyo. If the teasers of his upcoming album The Motherland are anything to go by, listeners are in for some beautiful music. His unique sound can be best described as an eclectic blend of afro jazz, Tuku music, hip hop and soul. Lyrically, he touches on poignant themes such as Christianity, vulnerability, social commentary as well self-introspection on songs like Farai Zvenyu(2018).  

The best is yet to come and it is coming.

i AM a 20 year old, Hip Hop & R'n'B artist & Songwriter, from Zimbabwe. Currently based on the island of Northern Cyprus.

Zimbabwean-Ethiopian wordsmith Hanna Kuruneri is boundary-pushing, gender-non-confirming usher of the new wave in South Africa's rap scene. Stumbling into the limelight during her time at the University of Cape Town, Hanna immediately rose to the occasion -- striking up the interests of Nasty C and DJ Clock after posting a video of herself rapping on Instagram. Since then, the social media-savvy student became a firm favourite continent-wide, championing an abundant knowledge of her place in this world with a sense of limitless self assurance. The Lift as You Rise campaign saw the opportunity to record a song with Nasty C and Tellaman; she also released a music video for her song “Peace” as part of Mr Eazi's emPawa Africa initiative that year. 2020 sees her next offering The Girl in the Durag unleash her full potential on a scene waiting to be brought to its feet.
