Takura looks promising based on his previous track record.

He has the potential to surpass Zim Hip Hop milestones set by Stunner (Desmond Chideme), Tehn Diamond and the rest of all those Zim Hip Hop rappers.

I don't and not even for a moment do I buy into Desmond Chideme's humbleness. Maybe in the near future, I may start to like him.
