Zim hip-hop insiders have dismissed Enzo Ishall versus Holy Ten face-off as nothing but a storm in a cup.
The so-called beef started out after Enzo Ishall, a Zim dancehall artist took to Instagram Live and declared himself king of hip-hop, a title which is heavily in contestation.
Holy Ten then replied saying he would literally “roast” the Hilary Makaya singer before calling for a face-off.
According to Zim hip-hop insiders, while the beef has so far excited the industry drawing traction for both artists there was no basis for such a face-off.
For instance, Enzo Ishall seem to forget hip-hop is more of a culture than just music.
Rapper Kikky Badass wrote: “udzai Enzo Ishall kuti kuimba pabeat rehiphop doesn’t make you a King kuHiphop tazviramba.”
R Peels tweeted: “I have no beef with Zimdancehall artists but hip hop is a culture. Please don’t disrespect us.”
Zim dancehall artist Seh Calaz chided both artists: “to ensure they go head-to-head”.
Enzo Ishall, took aim at Holy Ten in the track Hillary Makaya in the verse where he sings: “Mambo wehip hop ndini, ndofunga mukatarisa paYouTube mogona kusvika muchiona mambo varipo vachitrender kuratidza kuti rwumbo ndorwukudiwa zvaizvezvi (I am the king of the hip hop genre, if you check on YouTube you will realise that my song is trending and that shows that people love the song).”
The hip-hop track Hillary Makaya has been trending on YouTube with over 80 000 streams so far.
Holy Ten also clapped back at Enzo Ishall in the track Violence where he criticize him for singing about women in reference to the Hillary Makaya.
“Mapinda kapressure, makuimba vakadzi, hamuna nyadzi,” the ‘Amai’ hitmaker sings.
This is not the first time, Holy Ten will have dissed a fellow artist.
In 2018 he released ‘Back-to-Back’ dissing hip hop queen, Kikky Badass, a stunt he later apologised for.
