Rapper Jnr Brown has dropped a new single titled Baba Bona, named after former President Mugabe.
The gem announces the return of Jnr Brown aka Jnr Breezy in the orbit after a long lull.
The track opens with violin sound something that quickly gets into listening mode and when Jnr Brown starts rapping you are already hooked to the song.
Produced by GT Beats, the latest single has everything you ever wanted in a hip-hop track, the punchlines, rhyme and reason.
And when Jnr Breezy lays it down you know for sure you are up for some revving beats.
On this one, he made sure the subject is common. We all know who Baba Bona is and also he penned part of the chorus from his yesteryear viral picture in which he wore Adidas tracksuit matching with adidas sneakers.
In the song Jnr Breezy raps: “Big body beats Kunge Baba Bona, Gucci Mama paside Kunge Baba Bona, Adidas muviri wese kunge Baba Bona. Team yangu inondi jagger chero kana ndadonha.”
And most people will relate to the song and the fact that Jnr Breezy is singing about something we already know.
But he is talking about himself, that he is a brand and he is taking aim at every other rappers. He is also laying claim to the throne.
But bar after bar mixing English and Shona his style, Jnr Breezy also samples the voice of the former President.
When laying a track, Jnr Breezy makes it appear easy although other rappers rarely appreciate his lyrical prowess.
Baba Bona is a track that is likely to put Jnr Breezy on the local playlists for DJs because it is banger!
