The musician will leave the country for a month-long business visit to South Africa where he will engage with prominent producers and directors for the visuals of his two tracks, Yellow Bone and Ben 10.

MKZ revealed that he was not taking any chances with his two new singles as he wanted them to go regional.

“I want to raise the bar by producing top notch videos that will compete with that of the likes of AKA, Cassper Nyovest. I can assure you that these videos will take Zimbabwe and the southern region by storm,” he said.

“Everything is set, the models, directors and the budget has been set. What’s left is for me and my team to set a date we leave for a month or so.”

The two tracks were produced by top producer Thulani Nyashanu and South African DJ Face who has in the past worked with the likes of Maskiri, POY, Stunner, Mafriq and South African Mapaputsi.

“DJ Face is one of the best I have worked with, I am actually going to be staying with him as he guides me on what to do. I am humbled by the support he has been giving me since I started working with him,” he said.

The artist boasts of establishing his own sound when everyone is doing dance-hall and hip-hop.

“I have managed to come up with my original sound that people can identify me with. Everyone is doing dance-hall and hip-hop, but I took different root-Afro dance music. As an African I believe music is supposed to make people dance and that is what my music is all about, dancing, rejoicing and partying,” MKZ said.

The energetic artist who opened for Shinsoman at Club Forty 40 during his show two weeks ago has two albums under his name, Luggage and Salad Shungu.
