UPCOMING rapper Prince Butawo, aka Noble Stylz, is set to launch his debut album titled Masofa Panze.
OWN CORRESPONDENT
The Midlands-born rapper will launch the album on October 18 at The Platinum Spot in Greendale, Harare.
It will also debut on ZBC/TV show Zim Hip-hop Report the same day.
The rapper stole the spotlight after taking a dig at top hip-hop crew MMT whom he literally accused of disrespecting other artistes especially those still underground. He also lashed out at the crew, claiming they were not as good as they claimed.
Stylz is optimistic that the album will do well in the dog-eat-dog music industry in the country.
“My 16-track offering is packed with word play, metaphors, deep concepts and unheard of lyricism that will blow a lot of minds.
“The idea of naming my album Masofa Panze is derived from our African culture of putting the couch outside whenever a funeral occurs. So in the Zimbabwean hip-hop circle I am killing the game, it is a mass murder I am bringing,” Noble Stylz added.

The album features tracks such as Chamunorwa which is a story about a child who lost his mother and suffered in the hands of ae step-mother. Musandikanganwe talks about death, how he wants to be remembered if he died.
There are also other tracks such as Dhuku reChembere which proves his lyrical prowess.
