Who is the king of Zimdancehall music?

[Borrowdale Barron]

Now that Zimdancehall music is arguably one of the most popular genres in Zim's arts and entertainment industry who would you say deserves the title of being called the king of Zimdancehall in contemporary times?

 

[Lenard]

What you are asking is subjective and not objective. Music is like food; people have different tastes notwithstanding there are some recording artists' names that quickly come to people's minds when they think of listening to Zimdaansaal myuuzik and some of these musicians like:

• Winky D
• Freeman
• Killer T
• Tocky Vibes
• Seh Calaz
• Bazooker
• Chigudo Pankshan
• Soul Jah love
• Enzo Ishall
• etc.

So can we say that as of now 'Winky D' is the King of Zimdanchall?

Winky D is a veteran in the industry but times have changed.

If you notice you have young Zimdancehall artists like Bazooker, Enzo Ishall, and Pankshan that have potential and Chillspot Records have helped these artists to grow their career in the music business.

Freeman HKD Boss is someone I would consider to be the Zimdancehall King because he is a versatile artist than most of these Zimdancehall musicians.

What about Legion?

What about Legion?

Legion has been using Winky D's pattern (or style). He is a clout chaser and I don't consider him to be a force to reckon with. He lacks creativity and doesn't stand out like the prominent Zimdancehall artists.

How would you rate Enzo Ishall compared to Soul Jah Love or Seh Calaz?

Enzo Ishall has got a bright future in Zimdancehall as long as he keeps working hard releasing new material.

He shouldn't be like those Zimdancehall artists who have a terrible work ethic and an inconsistent track record.

 

[Numero Uno]

I'd say Winky D for now.

He's ahead of the curve.

Y'all can argue but numbers don't lie.

 

[Queen]

Definitely between Freeman, Killer T, and Winky D.

I can't think of any other daansaal artists in Zimbabwe who are worth mentioning.

 

[Amuli]

Okay, what about Freeman and Soul Jah Love before the latter died?

 

[Dr. Flambo]

Soul Musaka was really a talented musician during his time but he still wasn't near the level of Wallace Chirumiko. These are facts guys. No favor or anything.

Numbers aren't always a reflection of quality.

You've got to take into consideration instances of payola too.

There is no payola in Zimbabwe.

 

[Maeva]

There is no payola in Zimbabwe.

No, you are wrong. There are radio DJs who do that in Zim. They mostly do it when dealing with upcoming artists because they can get away with it without facing too much backlash. If an upcoming artist speaks on it chances are people aren't going to believe them so that's that. Moreover, payola only doesn't work if we are talking about shows i.e., the number of music fans that will actually come to support you in-person.

@Lenard you should scratch Seh Calaz off that list. Recent results have shown Winky D is better when both artists held their album launches on the same day. So many people showed up to Winky D's event at HICC. Even Seh Calaz's baby mama Moira Knight was speaking on Winky D's album on IG.

 

[Motomuzhinji]

Has anyone here noticed how Winky D does the same old same gimmick each and every year? It's now boring. He also seems to be funded by the opposition in Zimbabwe. I am not saying artists shouldn't be sponsored but at least make it clear it's part of democracy after all.

Moira Knight is a quintessential bitter baby mama. What do you expect from her? She did that on purpose.

 

[Ann-Christin]

Some of y'all dudes are clearly daft, I can tell. There is no reason whatsoever for Moira Knight to mention Seh Calaz's album on her page if she doesn't want to. That's like saying every time Stunner drops a new Zim hip-hop album Dyonne Tanaka is supposed to say something positive about it. Make it make sense you oans. Even if she does that y'all oans will start making threads saying the deij wants the old thing back.

Winky D is the voice of the voiceless coz he addresses our day-to-day suffering through music plus anongodiwa nevanhu. Haana noise kana vhavhu, nyangwe otaurwa seyi he stays calm and relaxed.
