Umzebedu is a Zimbabwean version of House Music. Umzebedu derives from a game which used to be played in Zimbabwe throughout the 90s. The word has no real meaning and so, was remixed to reflect a state of mind. That of being "chilled", relaxed and care free. A simple reminder that whatever you're going is not so serious. Dance it off or release the stress in screaming inaudible sounds like on the track.

MuNyepi as the name suggests is about a liaR (Munyepi means Liar in
Shona)…but more so the liar that we are to ourselves when we don't
follow the purpose God put us on earth for. Upon observing the world
around us we were influenced to speak out on the amount of 'fakeness'
that is around us. The media set a standard to say if you weigh this
much, or use this much make up, or speak in a certain way you're
beautiful. thats a lie! Even in your deep vernacular accent, even with
your short, 'kinky' hair, even without 6pacs or curves or silky smooth
skin, even if you didn't go to school, even in your bare feet…you're
BEAUTIFUL and there IS a purpose for which you are on this earth.
MuNyepi is a song about someone who lies to themselves by NOT
fulfilling that purpose. and its happened a lot that kids growing up
are forced into careers they don't want by their parents…not that we
want to start rebellion but truth is if you're an accountant and you
KNOW in your heart you were meant to be a dancer, you're lying to
YOURSELF. you are a MuNyepi.

and so the song talks about the talents we're born with, it talks
about letting our inner beauty shine, it talks about not running away
from your God-given purpose. doesn't matter what the media says, you
are beautiful and you have a purpose…live it without fear.
