Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 76760, member: 636"] The Zim Hip Hop Awards are hitting their 15th year at Zimbali Gardens in Greendale, and Sane Wav plus Bling4 are leading the pack with eight nominations each. Stunner is getting the Lifetime Achievement Award, while the show will honor the late Babongile Sikhonjwa for his work in cultural commentary and community building. Runna Rulez and Bhanshee pulled five nods apiece, with Bhanshee being the most nominated woman. The ceremony is running under a Cultural Estate theme, which is supposed to represent creativity, identity, and legacy in Zimbabwean hip-hop. Newcomer categories feature Yadis, Hooksmith, and Briza competing against Sane Wav and Micky Black. Best Album nominees include RayKaz's Those Around Me tape, Bling4's Hosana, and the Kwela Initiative compilation. Song of the Year has Bhimu going up against Boyz Rangu and tracks from Mr Nyamz and Young Gemini. [/QUOTE]
