From
the dusty streets of Glen View to our hearts and minds, on the way up to being
another ZimHipHop “I made it story,” Stizzy Markaveli is a hungry, determined
upcoming artist in the game. Inspired by the don himself “Don Makaveli (Tupac)”
another ghetto story is being written letter by letter.

“[I’m] to create my own sound and leave a mark,” asserted Stizzy, saying he is here in the game to stay and to leave an indelible mark for real. Stizzy is a member of one of ZimHipHop’s upcoming and talented clan Masvingo eh Jericho Records from Glen View.
Indeed,
Glen View is giving us a different view when it comes to the local Hip-Hop
scene. These youths are never lazy and hesitant to give us music and for that,
they are deeply appreciated. The crew consists of the talented Chama Breezy Shaka,
Tazz, Top Genah, Stizzy Markaveli, Goathum (aka Holzy) and Jay Beats.
The
fusion of both English and vernacular rap has defined his sound from songs like
One Man Army to songs like Double Up. He is building something the
game will be fixated on. Glen View’s very own is a showing of the underdog
story, a come up from nothing to something.
The
sphere is getting some talented youths beautifully gracing our ears on a daily.
If Stizzy continues writing the way he is writing, a star is definitely on the
rise. The message is “Ghetto kids next up” and they are definitely next in line
ready to take the crown.
In
his song One Man Army he describes himself as the diamond in the rough,
and he was not lying he is the gem this industry needs. Stizzy is currently
working on an EP; the need for a solid sound discography is very important when
it comes to an artist’s career. The music should back you up as an artist and
on this journey this talented young cat is willing and determined to put in the
work to make and leave a mark in the ZimHipHop sphere.
It
is something graceful and blissful when you see an artist putting the effort in
the music, keeping the ZimHipHop culture alive. Stizzy is the next kid up in
line from the endless line of ghetto youths trying all they can to make a mark
and change the game. No doubt the work ethic and energy are noticeable in his
work. Artists should try as much as they can to define their own sound giving
them originality and identity, and from the music he is showing us who he is
and what he really gives with consistency and the skills.
Collectively
this gang is gradually and steadily making a name for themselves through the
music. The come up may be a bit rocky at first but the rose will certainly grow
from the concrete. They are here to stay!
Stizzy
Markaveli intimated to us about the EP (saying he will release it sometime in
September) the difficulties artists are facing during this global pandemic from
recording to production. No doubt this pandemic has halted a lot of things in
the game and the impact is significant. The pandemic has even made
collaborations between artists quite difficult. The impact of this pandemic was
an unexpected one but this is not stopping this young talent from taking his
pen and pad to write.
The
effort in making a project which offers consistency in concept is one which we
need to appreciate. A skill most artists lack but on this next project we are
guaranteed of that and more.
