Story telling has been part of human civilisation since time
immemorial, back when stories where passed down from generation to generation over
campfires or through bedtime stories, but more importantly that art evolved to include
music as well.
Nowadays rap lyricists are able carry on that same tradition,
able to interweave their words with instrumentals and tell those very same stories
through their music!
Upcoming rapper Sizzyboi reckons he is one of those artists and
he is on the verge of releasing an EP that is aptly titled 'Story Teller' this March.
The 4-track Ep will officially be made available on the market
on the 3rd of this month.
Fungai Rowlent Siziba or 'Sizzyboi' as he is known in the hiphop
circles said that he had chosen the title because it reflected his style and most
importantly the stories/personal experiences that he shares through his music.
"I decided upon the title 'Story Teller' because that is
who I am as an artist, all of the songs on the EP are technically stories....infact
they are stories, stories that I hope my fans can also relate to", said the
23-year old rapper.
The young rapper's EP will contain tracks such as 'Zino Irema',
'Pane Akaromba', I am Ever Blessed' and 'Vakandifushira'
"On 'Zino Irema', I was talking about when people show you
fake love........cursing you all the while. 'Pane Akaromba'....explores how it feels
sometimes when the odds are against you and nothing seems to be going right.
" The track, 'Vakandifushira' speaks about my own personal
tragedy, so-to-speak, when my father left us to fend for ourselves on the
street with nothing to eat or wear but God was on our side and my mom fought hard
to make sure we were taken care of and had everything we could ever desire.
"Lastly, the song 'I'm ever blessed' is about eveything
going well just because of the love of god... with no worries at all because you
know The Lord is in control!", said the Mabvuku-Tafara born and bred artist.
Sizzyboi added that he is more than dedicated to his craft and
that besides the EP, he is looking forward to putting in more work and time in order
to fulfil his dreams.
To the young rapper-cum producer, music stopped being a hobby
a long time ago!
" My plans for the rest of the year include more singles,
more features (hopefully some international ones as well) and be in contention for
a Nama (National Arts & Merit Awards) or Zima (Zimbabwe Music award)",
he said.
