The irony of their upbringing in Zimbabwe’s capital is the fact that the Harare they grew up in, is in parts as urban as any city in the west.

We’ve seen it happen over the last decade. Starving Hip Hop fans are forced to huddle, like scavengers, over crumbs that symbolize hope for anything that remotely sounds like “True Hip Hop“.
