The artistes, among them 14-year-old Viper Tea, Taz Jonnex and Bontoman, performed at the launch of Royco Cubes at Mbare Musika.

“Words cannot really express how happy I am to be given a chance to perform here with Jah Prayzah,” Viper Tea said.

“It is my first time to share the stage with him and I am very happy.”

Bontoman (real name Innocent Chinyane) won the hearts of the crowd as he belted out his tracks Chaedza and Miromo Yevakuru among others keeping the crowd on their feet as they sang along.

The dancehall artistes appeared to have planned to go all out in affirming that Mbare is the hub of dancehall music.

However, even though the young artistes showcased their talent, it was Jah Prayzah who should be sticking in many of the revellers’ memories.

Jah Prayzah said he was happy with the talent that was exhibited by the young artistes and pledged support.

“If these artistes keep getting a chance like this one, they will soon be rising to the top because what many artistes lack is exposure,” he said.

After his performance Jah Prayzah hinted on the release of a new single on baby dumping before he left the stage leaving the crowd clamouring for more.
