Bulawayo hip hop just heard footsteps, and they sound like The MOB. Leroy Ngulube, 24, plans fresh releases in 2026, sitting on a stash of polished unreleased tracks. Raised in New Lobengula, he has worked since 2020 with crew GDC, staying outside mainstream stages. More than ten singles already exist, and the next wave aims to push past underground chatter.
His writing leans into love, money, loyalty, and daily struggle, aiming for healing and motivation. He says the music mirrors youth realities, and the goal targets comfort for people climbing through heartbreak or chasing rent and dreams.
Taste grew under names like Drake and J. Cole, while ASAPH Afrika ranks as the favorite local touchstone from Bulawayo. Plans center on a first album, with hopes that fans and the industry accept the vision once the rollout lands.
The route carried friction. Recording cash ran thin, and family support lagged early, although acceptance has begun to form as passion shows. Doubters claimed the scene lacks heat, yet he refuses to fold. He wants mic time on popular Zimbabwe radio for a live freestyle, pushing toward the big stage that he believes fits.
