#h3nry

The music scene is not the easiest thing to break into. It has so many variations and so many barriers to entry. Take a look at how the Zimbabwe Hip Hop Awards are handled every year. The whole Samora divide is kinda silly and has actually become an actual divide with regards to how we actually consume hip hop in Zimbabwe. Everyone has a high school rapper they fell in love with and probably never got to be heard again. Dem Boiz is a classic example of such a scenario.

Directed and shot by Thandi Gula-Ndebele, watch the stunning visuals for H3nry’s “Marry Jane” off his 2015 EP, Expression.

Local rapper H3nry’s latest EP Expression featuring stand out track Conversation on Whiskey Ave. (feat. The Don)
