Ref: An open letter to ZHH ni**gas
Dear ZHH.
You've come a long way. From the days when people like me weren't regular consumers of the genre to a time when these very people can't seem to tweet about anything else. I've been a fan of hip hop since forever, and I've been lucky enough to witness the growth of ZimHipHop into the powerhouse it is today.
Peace of Ebony, KingPinn, David Chifunyise, TehnDiamond 🐐, Holyten etc These artists have defined eras of local hip hop, and their success has paved the way for others. Today, ZimHipHop features are dominating the biggest songs in the country. The 4 biggest songs by streaming numbers at the 6-month mark were "Pressure", "Chiremerera", "Ucharamba Uchipisa", and "Superstar" - 3 of which featured ZimHipHop artists! (I’m claiming Saintfloew today 🙄). Winky-D, Freeman, Baba Harare all seeking out the ZHH features for the biggest songs ok their albums.
But it's not just about the music. At least 4 (5 if you count Kae Chaps) ZimHipHop artists have been able to move out of home, get married, and buy cars from music money. ZimHipHop acts are flying everywhere (Seriously, what are anaVoltz doing in India? 😂). These achievements are a testament to the hard work and dedication of the artists, bloggers, fans, platforms, and podcasts that make up the ZimHipHop community.
Of course, things are not perfect, and they never will be. Mistakes are being made every day, but the only reason why those mistakes are consequential is because of all the good work that's been done. Let's take a moment to appreciate how far you've come. You've built a thriving scene that's producing world-class talent. You've created a community that's supportive, innovative, and passionate. Keep pushing boundaries, making mistakes, and learning from them.
Congratulations, ZHH, You did that!
Sincerely,
Meta Shoko
