Hip hop in Zimbabwe has birthed a hardworking generation in the music industry. Several youngsters have regained the lost morale and energy to believe in these foreign genres in a struggling economy of ours. Building on his versatility, Tatenda LXA is a gifted 25-year-old producer-cum-rapper based in Harare where he was born and raised.
His is a phenomenal journey that has seen him realize this dream at the age of 10 and then recording for the first time as a 16-year-old. Tatenda LXA has worked more as a producer which evidently has nourished his technical abilities.
He reveals working with prominent acts such as Stunner, JMP,
Nyasha Timbe, and Darrel, amongst a host of others. As producer, Tatenda LXA is
a former member at Afro Nation and Legendary Music. Currently, he is a resident
producer at Roman Raps.
His track WTF shows great enthusiasm to be on the mic
on Tatenda’s side, as well as taking a breather from producing. WTF is
street lingo though most commonly used in gangly rap and trap because of the
curse words.
We could not dwell much on that topic, but it has been laid
clear that LXA has some issues to address and before the track dropped, he gave
a snippet signaling, “dakumbotuka maniggas.” A lot of betrayal is going on and
in music hypocrisy is the order of the day.
