By Naboth “RIZLA” Rimayi (for World Hip Hop Market)
Zambia’s hip-hop scene is moving in ever-widening circles these days, and there’s no telling where it might take the main purveyors of the scene – with super crews like the LXG (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen –w/ MC’s Camstar, Exile, Maverick, Caesar Cognac) and the Zone Family (w/ MC’s Dope G, Jay Rox, Yung Verbal and Thugga) coming up big in 2011.
Enter into the 2012 fray a new album by tag-team duo The Holstar (Zambia), a producer and MC for Slam Dunk Records and Canadian based Nigerian producer Teck-Zilla (Str8buttah Productions).
Teck-Zilla and The Holstar dropped the stellar album The Extraordinaires a few weeks ago and set the pace. Mad props to all the peeps that reblogged,posted,tweeted and downloaded the album. Thanks to all the blogs and radio stations(Afrika 21 radio,RadioPhoenix,Radio Afro Australia) that assisted in pushing the project forward. In the interim a video has been shot for a track off the album and will drop sometime in the nearest future. Stay tuned believers…..stay tuned!
The Extraordinaires is a collaboration album between Zambian emcee The Holstar(Slamdunk records,Zone Fam founder) and Canada based Nigerian producer Teck-Zilla(Str8buttah Productions).
A 10 track album made up of gritty,soulful beats and insightful topics. Features Mister Rae(UK),Domininat1(Malawi),Zubz(South-Africa) and Al Kani(Zambia)
Stream,Download and spread at will
New hip-hop joints from Nigeria’s Str8 Buttah Crew, Fecko the emcee,Holstar &Teck-Zilla.
Once again,we start off giving props to everyone who has supported us thus far and we hope they keep doing just that.
Whiteman’s Ep and Enigma’s debut opened a portal which is yet to close. Expect nothing but the heat from us as we strive to raise and maintain the standard.
Be sure to look out for another single from Enigma!!!
Also the collab album between Teck and Slamdunk Record’s Head honcho The Holstar is almost done and features an international cast of emcees bringing their own distinct flavour to the table.
Mister Rae’s Untitled Ep is around the corner
XYZ is still in the lab with Kalifate’s Psalmurai
Teck is preparing 2 beat tapes.. Afro J.E.T.S and another(to complete the science trilogy)
…and you never know what the future holds so keep tuning in for more exciting material from str8buttah not streetbuttahs,str8burrah,str8brodah,str8butter(it’s 1 word so please get the name right)
In the coming weeks,we will be unveiling 2 new projects, one from the man that brought us The Brand New Masquerade. An untitled ep comprising of self poignant lyrics plus an unforgettable sonic backdrop. The other is the debut mix tape from Enigma,known as a verbal pugilist amongst his peers,the tape is nothing short of lyrical jabs,uppercuts and haymakers. So keep tuning in for more exciting material from the boys.
Also in working progress are the following albums
White man,The blacksoul- A common Language Ep
The Holstar- The Extraordinaires
Hi lovers of that good ol’ unadulterated hip-hop! First we would like to thank the fans(yeah we do have a couple of them scattered across space and time) who supported us by downloading,re-tweeting,reposting and then some!! We couldn’t have reached this plateau on our own without your help know!
Also,major big ups to all the blogs holding us down. You guys are doing a great job helping us promote this “hardcore music”,y’all could have picked the club banger makers over us but you chose us…and now you are stuck with us..Buhahahahahahahaha[evil Draculean laughter followed by a sinister grin].
The past 2 months have been great to say the least. We have been working,grinding(no..not that type of grinding) diligently to perfect this art. So far so good we still have vast amounts of material coming up in the following weeks,so prepare for the unexpected. You know,with Str8buttah,anything might,can and would happen!!
The Illastr8 sequel is still in the works,yeah it’s a long wait but it would be worth it at the end of the day. Yep so let’s get down to that buttah madness.
Enigma’s first foray into the world as a solo would be in the form of a pre-tape titled “The Desultory EP” which will be followed by “The Pugilist”. We need not say more about this human lyrical anomaly,just check out this excerpt taken from the track “Austere Guinevere”
….Approach the nebula,hitch a ride on the shooting star
Made the red carpet when I pull a gun and start shooting stars
…light years ahead so close your eyes if you’re epileptic
Faulty electrics,acute angles project my perspective….
Like Fela would say…Stalemate!!We expect nothing less from L.Fox On the other note,soundly XYZ is prepping his next beat tape with longtime Str8buttah associate Mifliss titled Nice one.One word on that tape is…you guessed it..Nice one!! As for Mr stay sharp,we are still awaiting the results of all his experiments gone bad and if he’s reading this..stop reading and go back to the studio!!
I think we can safely say we are done with this self exposing write up and till our paths cross,do keep on checking up on us..even if it’s once a month..lol..no lol.
Things you may have missed,skipped,ignored but ultimately worth looking into.
