TAWANDA CHARI
Award-winning rapper and songwriter Phreshy, one of Kwekwe’s finest exports now based in South Africa, released her latest single, Chakafukidza—a deeply introspective track that challenges perceptions and sheds light on some of her untold struggles behind closed doors.
Rooted in the wisdom of the Shona proverb "Chakafukidza Dzimba Matenga", which underscores how appearances can be deceiving, the song speaks to the unseen battles people endure, the weight of expectations, and the resilience needed to push through life’s hardships. Phreshy’s lyricism shines as she asserts her focus amidst the noise:
Running your mouths
Mese hamuzive chakafukidza
Despite the hurdles of relocating to a new country for survival, contemplating leaving music behind and navigating the pressures of reality, Phreshy remains steadfast in her artistry. Chakafukidza is reaffirmation that no matter what life throws her way, her talent and passion for music remain untouchable.
This release serves as a reminder that what the world sees is merely the surface and true stories are often concealed beneath the weight of personal battles. Phreshy channels this energy into her music, ensuring that her voice remains a force to be reckoned with in the hip-hop scene.
