Mob-Figgaz still retain their gritty street style laden with conscious lyrics. Kungwavha Ngwavha is a track that echoes the lingo and attitudes of the urban youth, mostly in the urban working class areas. The track is a call to keep on working hard as a man and to never give up. Because in the grand scheme of things, it is only money that can sustain you in this life. With the phrase Kungwavha Ngwavha being street lingo meaning to hustle hard, to look for a livelihood in earnest and even in some unorthodox, unconventional means. The aim is to have money and navigate the labyrinth that is urban life. The new slang for hustling.
We have to say the instrumentation on the song is superb. If
not impeccable. The sound conveys a motivating mood while still reinforcing the
little stories you create in your head regarding the hustle(s) you do. The drums
and the heavy bass-line give some credence to the whole world of kungwavha
ngwavha. The melodies, with a slight twist, still represent the Mob-Figgaz
sound. And the way that Yung G spreads that paper chasing message is an
attestation of an artist who internalizes street hustles. Any hustle for that
matter.
Mob X is on the first verse and his raps prove how
proficient he is when it comes to narrating the hustles he goes through. His
contemporary message of working hard is laced beautifully within the overarching
influence of urban life in a way that makes the listener curious to continue
listening to the song. And how he speaks about the alertness one needs to
possess when making deals in urban areas. Mob G solidifies the Don King
flow in the second verse, speaking of his unavailability due to kungwavha ngwavha,
and how he is deeply committed to the game. The metaphors, the similes are delivered
excellently. The vernac flows are something of a mastery of perfection.
The track Kungwavha Ngwavha by Mob-Figgaz stirs a lot of
interest considering the upcoming release of Don Kings 3. Mob-Figgaz are the guys behind RedNation Live, which won the award for Best Online Media at the 2019 Zim Hip Hop Awards. They are also the creators of Mob Entertainment (MobEnt).
