GZE – Love Song Featuring Flame

by Phil Chard

At a time when Zimbabwe is experiencing a great deal of political and social conflict, the response from Hip Hop artists at large has from my point of view, been disappointing. Outside of a few songs from a handful of artists, the majority of the Zimbabwean Hip Hop fraternity have decided shy away from the contentious topic.

Enter GZE; the Harare rapper has just released a video titled Love Song featuring Flame where the Southerton artists discusses the recent riots and flare ups of violence and his desire to find a solution through dialogue while also tackling how the economic decay in the country has turned Zimbabweans into refugees both inside and outside their own borders.
