The musician will perform at a show dubbed “Rhyme Assassin Welcome Back Party” at a local night club.
Rhyme Assassin told Southern Eye Lifestyle yesterday: “I am promising a great night filled with energetic performances and it’s also a night that I will meet up with my fans.
“Fans should look out for tracks such as Tyoka, City is Mine, Hip-hop Therapy and many more. I am loyal to the city, that’s why my first performance will be here before taking my act to all corners of the country. I am loyal to my fans and I want to show them that they are appreciated.”
He will be supported by local artists Nicholas Muchingura affectionately known as P.O.Y, T9yce, Pryd PMDee, Young Stan, Kasi Lunatics, Beezy Raps, Klap, among others.
The show would be followed by a second in Harare on December 7 at Courtney Hotel.
The two shows are to pave way for the musician’s album launch, with two launches in Bulawayo and Harare respectively in December.
