There are all kinds of songs coming up lately. It is so refreshing to see artists grow and push limits to drop badass tracks. Fish f Mcswag dropped a new track called Nomusa, it is good to see that Bulawayo artists continue to raise the bar musically. If I could be frank I am sick of the riffraff people have been calling new music lately. Someone smart once said “Creatives create they don’t duplicate” and such is the case with Fish f Mcswagg.
Of course we could dedicate a whole paragraph to that name but his new single makes up for it.
Nomusa is Ndaramu trap which is a brainchild genre of Fish f Mcswagg and Larnynx; a mixture of new school riding on older sounds. I found this mash up really interesting; the concept is fresh and relatable.
Deep 808’s for the cool kids, intense lyrical content for an older audience.
Nomusa is a love jam with a laidback vibe that truly brings back the old days to the new. For all the ‘older’ folks it is a breath of nostalgic air much reminiscent of the iconic Mbira dzeNharire with a new school hook to it. I can’t get over the concept and for that, hands up to Fish, this was a brilliant move! Fish, or as he is known by his family as Ultoanang Valela has vocally dabbled with various genres such as Hip Hop, House, Afro-pop and now Ndaramu Trap. He is working on his new offering an album titled ‘Oceans of Ndaramu Trap’ which will feature a number of familiar faces in Zimbabawean music.
Have a listen to Nomusa and tell us what you think.
