Dexter
Chitembwe, who uses his government name for the music trade, is a 22-year-old
Rusape-based rapper. Dexter’s slow-paced career regained momentum in 2020 when
the young rapper went all in for a debut album, The Genesis, following the release of an EP called Changes.
No
matter how hard they work, however talented they may be, youths in small towns have
it delayed. This circumstance is deeply rooted in the widespread socio-economic
stagnation of the country.
Rusape
is a classic example of this rot. The town has only a few at most studios with
proper recording equipment. So far, Remnant studios is the only souring base where
rapper in focus Dexter has recorded the album and most of the singles.
In
February, Dexter ticked the calendar with the double-release for singles Don’t Change and Ndide. Don’t Change is a melancholic rhythm laced with
street acquired knowledge about the cunning human specie.
The
rapper carefully explores betrayal and hypocrisy that glitters in the presence
of company. Dexter opts for solitude as he journeys towards a destiny confined
in his heart. The second release Ndide
is a love letter written on a soft-going instrumental.
It
is notable how the two songs emulate a consistent sound which has apparently
given the upcoming artist a signature. Production on the two singles is
satisfactory and promising given the attitude displayed by the rapper.
More
work is expected from upcoming artists and utilizing the digital advantages prevalent
in this era, here is room to flourish.
Dexter
revealed that in 2022 there will be another album and visuals.
