Whenever Oskid drops a riddim you are assured of explosives.
This is exactly what you can expect to hear when you listen to his latest production — Dark Shadow Riddim which is beaming with talent from start to finish.
From Legion’s Ukubhadharisa, Sekemutema’s Covid Badness, to Uncle Epatan’s Mate Ako to Poptain’s Bata Basa and Hwinza’s Nezuro Ndakarota.
Even Fire Marshall’s Varume which takes a shot at social ills.
There is a great deal of talent with popular names like Freeman’s Don’t Touch to Sniper Storms Mark X and Ricky Fire’s Mhepo also giving good account of themselves on this bouncy riddim.
And speaking of the riddim, Oskid displayed his mastery and high-level degree of badness. The riddim is a banger no doubt and will keep fans on the dance floor at any given time.
There are no dull moments with every other artiste bringing their own flair especially when you listen to Fruitman’s Kuno.
It is easy an amazing production with artistes outdoing each other in more ways than one. Some artists like Dobba Don were good on the hooks while others like Ma9nine as always showcases great wordply.
There are also little-known artists the likes of Shakuni Wika Boi on Baby, Fresh Acid on Chamba Ichi, Gunshot on Money who also and Lewaz Skatter on Respect.
With production likes these, there is a great future in Zim dancehall and so far this year Dark Shadow Riddim will provide some of the club anthems.
The one good thing is Oskid kept the beat bouncy and danceable.
Make no mistake, the riddim is everything you want to hear in Zim dancehall but sadly, some of the big names are missing on the riddim for one reason or the other.
But those that jumped on it, it is sure fire hit!.
