Power of the Pen

As the heading of this post talks about a pen, literally one might tend not to try follow this article because we all think we have pens in our lives but the one i am talking about is a special type of a pen.One which doesn't blot when you writing an essay in a exam ,run out of ink when you got that urgent letter you want to write to that special someone on your mind but the pen i am talking about is called a life pen with an invisible ink and the power of it its what i am going to stress in this blog post.

Growing up i never thought i would be a rapper although i had a great passion for music at an early age.I used to make funny noises, which at that time i called beats with empty paint cans and a makeshift drum set but i never thought my aura for the art would grow thus far.At 13 as i entered the teenage hood,music became a way of living and the urge of discovery was getting the better of a kid growing up in a society were nobody payed attention to the art.

My life told me to use the power of the pen,but i could not understand what the meaning behind it was because it was just a silhouette of an imaginary concept .I thought i came up with it because i wanted to be heard out that much that along the way i could have became delusional in drafting it in my head by that was not the case.Actually the pen was real and its power which i am still to understanding how to harness it,literally changed a lot of things in my life.

The more hours i spent writing songs in my bedroom with that special type of a pen, the more i got to realize that this was the only way i could change lives without any boundaries governing me from the world i was about to enter.As my music became more placid as water,it began to move in places which i would have never realized it would go and then came in its power working on every thing i put thought to it.Those lost high school friends which i would want to refer as mere classmates, i never used to talk to in this post,started in boxing me, telling me they heard that new song and they were vibe-in to it,i only knew it was the power of the pen.

Days went by and my inbox started filling up with an abnormal state of congratulatory messages from people i don't know or i wouldn't even know in my life time if it was not the power of the pen working on them..My my music accounts became hard to maintain due to an overwhelming traffic of people downloading and streaming my songs online because they heard my joint from a homie they know or in the radio while boarding a commuter omnibus to town.The power had changed a lot of things in a short space of time that at some point left me dumb-folded to a point that i was in a temporary trance.

From being an underground artist to an commercial one ,i had transgressed to a stage were i was now the popular topic in a blog spot from a hip hop website to a urban music magazine and now  the big stables which had swanned me before,started forwarding me recording deals to my email,which only came as a bonus but kept maintaining my cool which i would want to see controlling the inner me so i do not fail before i succeed.

As i am now rounding off my post,know that in your lives you also have that similar pen i am talking about,it might not come as the same pen as mine but i think God blessed us with different abilities we are not using ,so today use that talent to get far,break boundaries,set world records,inspire people,go places change lives and be a paint brush to a society canvas.

Who is Amiz:Biography Part 1

Hip-hop a culture and genre that is slowly taking over airwaves of most of the country’s top radio stations has seen many young and talented hip-hop artists emerging under the umbrella they like to call Zim hip-hop. Amiz is one of those who are on verge of a new merge and taking Zim hip-hop to greater heights.

Born Kunashe Kutama on the 16th of February 1990 in Gweru and raised in the small town of Marondera were he did both his primary and half of his secondary education, later relocating to the capital Harare.

He released his first track under Refugee Records in 2008 titled “if I could change my life” the track was produced by Moral. In 2009, he left the country for Beira, Mozambique to go and study Portuguese whilst in Mozambique he continued as a circuit club disc jockey later making a transgression to become a rapper and beat maker.

His music is his way of expressing himself and within no time he had created hype in the city undoubtedly and his plan was to come back home and continue producing music which he successfully did in 2010. During this period, he was able to put together a mixed tape with the title track “the sound track of my life”. Amiz has featured and done collaborations with a number of famous Mozambican artists.

2013 saw him working with Rodney “TG” Sibanda under his record label Victory records that saw the release of Zvakadzora, which saw him being recognized as an artist, the track has been a great success and is talk around town. His second offering is a track titled Sango reShumba which is under his Lost Dynasty empire label. Amiz describes Sango reShumba “from the midst of the hate jungles of the society rises a rapper with the spirit of a lion where emotion creatures rules the food chains in the industry but the end has come.

Watch out for his debut album marked to be dropping later this year,which is promising to be a banger with way the rapper is delivering hits after hits.To get some of his released tracks like Zvakadzora and Sango reShumba,follow these links below.
