Bho here, Saintfloew?

Saintfloew's career has been short but impactful. We could talk about what happened before, but let's get real, the real magic happened when he joined Samanyanga Sounds. That's when the sparks flew, and he created some of his most iconic tracks like "Under Pressure" and "Silas Mavende". Holyten was the mastermind behind it all, producing, mixing, mastering, and even directing the video for "Silas Mavende". Talk about a dream team (or dream captain, for that matter)!

But, as we all know, all good things must come to an end (if you don’t know whats good for you 😅). Saintfloew allegedly had a falling out with Holyten over some drug-related drama (allegedly, of course). But, like most talented artists, he had more lives left to live. After a brief break, he joined NashTV/Paints/Radio, joining forces with Delroy Shewe, Nisha T, and the gang.

He's made some bangers with these artists, no doubt, but his solo work has been... underwhelming. Tinashe Mutarisi, the big cheese at Nash Paints, has invested serious cash into Saintfloew's career and lifestyle, buying him fancy cars and moving him into a swanky pad in Borrowdale Brooke. But is this arrangement the real deal, or is Saintfloew just living on borrowed time?

The music quality has deteriorated (in my opinion, at least) since Saintfloew left Samanyanga Sound. His high moments are mostly on featured songs, not his own. It's like he needs help finding himself again. Maybe it's time to return to Holyten's guidance? The concern (besides the music being subpar) is that Saintfloew's model is not sustainable. He's reliant on Mutarisi and the thousands of dollars invested in him (probably under CSR in NashTV/Paints/Records' accounts), but would he survive outside that ecosystem? Does he have much of a say if he's that reliant?

If Mutarisi's business faces hard times or he decides to part ways, Saintfloew is left vulnerable. Knowing his history with substance abuse, this could lead him down a dangerous path. Let's hope Saintfloew finds a way to make his career work without relying too heavily on others. His talent deserves better, and his family needs him to succeed.

In conclusion, while this article may seem critical of Tinashe Mutarisi's support for Saintfloew, it's essential to acknowledge the positives of his investment in the arts industry. As a top 1% supporter of the arts, Mutarisi's contributions are invaluable, and his belief in Saintfloew's talent is commendable. It's important to recognize that investing in the arts is always a good thing, even if we may have differing opinions on the approach. As the public nature of art often sparks debate, we must appreciate the efforts of patrons like Mutarisi, who are willing to take risks and support artists in pursuing their passion. By acknowledging both the benefits and drawbacks of this arrangement, we hope to encourage a more nuanced understanding of the complex relationships within the arts industry. Ultimately, we wish Saintfloew success in finding his artistic voice and sustainability, and we applaud Mutarisi's commitment to nurturing talent in the arts.
