For the fifth Pungwe Sessions Vol. II single release before e the release of the album we present Did It So Wrong featuring Shashl and Thaiwanda. Did It So Wrong is a mid-tempo Pop offering that sees Rymez partnering with two promising upcoming artists on a song that is sure to be a feature of radio and streaming playlists thanks to its incredibly infectious earworm chorus. The song features the young and talented Shashl who is riding high after receiving an AFRIMMA nomination in 2019 and has already begun cementing her brand across the region after signing to Universal Music Africa in 2017.

On the breakup song that has two disparate lovers explaining where things went wrong, Shashl is joined by fellow Zimbabwean Thaiwanda who lends his signature sound to the song that is underpinned by Rymez infectious pop sound, infused with his signature sample and chord progressions.  Thaiwanda who resides in South Africa has been making a name for himself as a writer, producer and performer who has worked with the likes of Cassper Nyovest (Chankura), Brian Soko (Phumakim), Kwesta, Ricky Rick (No Mercy) and more.


About Pungwe Sessions

In 2014  Point Black and its African Hip Hop Blog brand partnered with Rymez on a collaborative project called Pungwe Sessions . The goal was to showcase Zimbabwe’s best Hip Hop talent by leveraging The African Hip Hop Blog’s and Rymez’ collective reach and relationships to maximise exposure. The first single titled “Phil Chiyangwa” by Jnr Brown held the top spot on the ZiFM Urban Chart for 10 weeks. 3 more singles were released from the EP. All 4 singles on The Pungwe Sessions charted on various radio stations in Zimbabwe. They have been playlisted on various radio stations in Zimbabwe, South Africa, Zambia, Namibia, Australia and, The USA as well as playlisting on 2 seasons of the Big Brother Africa reality show. The artists involved with the project were able to draw direct economic benefits from on the project via publishing royalties and performance bookings.

With Pungwe Sessions Vol. II which is supported in partnership with Goethe Institut and The Zimbabwean German Society, Point Black and Rymez are looking to follow up on the success of the first project and create more impact for the artists involved. Pungwe Sessions Vol. II is a collaborative album that hopes to elevate Zimbabwean musicians via education, collaboration and promotion
