IN the heart of Pumula North, Bulawayo, where dust rises with every passing car and opportunities often feel out of reach, a bold new voice is cutting through the silence.
Meet Naison Ndhlovu, popularly known as Neezy II, a music artiste, visionary and the driving force behind one of the township’s most exciting creative movements.
Armed with nothing but ambition, resilience and a dream, he has transformed limitation to opportunity by launching a podcast studio where few would dare to.
This is not just about a podcast, it is about defiance and rewriting the narrative.
“I created Life It Out because creatives like us were being overlooked,” Ndlovu said.
“Getting interviews on radio stations, especially outside Bulawayo, was almost impossible.
“So I stopped waiting for permission and built my own platform.”
And just like that, Life It Out podcast was born.

What started as a simple idea quickly evolved into a powerful platform fuelled by authenticity and raw storytelling.
Backed by a passionate team — Tizzie Studios Media, co-host Thandoe, Samson, Big Wayne and Thando Mdlongwa — the podcast has become a space where real conversations thrive.
“When Thandoe came through, we didn’t even do a formal interview, we just did a test shoot and that became our first episode. From that moment, we knew we had something special,” he said.
Life It Out dives into everything that matters: entertainment, culture, mental health, current affairs, and everyday struggles and triumphs of young people.
“We don’t chase clout or numbers, but we focus on real conversations and things people actually go through everyday.”
That authenticity is what keeps listeners coming back.
From laughter-filled moments to deep, thought-provoking discussions, the podcast offers a refreshing escape from the noise of mainstream content.
Standout episodes featuring Madlela, Jeys Marabini and Mzoe 7 have already made waves, with an upcoming episode featuring Ronald Sibanda promising even more impact.
He envisions sitting down with some of Africa’s biggest names —Strive Masiyiwa, Aliko Dangote, Don Jazzy and chart-topping artistes like Jah Prayzah, Nutty O, Nitefreak, Davido, Nasty C and Mr Eazi.
And he’s not just dreaming, he’s building towards it and behind the scenes, Life It Out is gearing up for strategic partnerships, sponsorships and a major project set to drop later this year, one that Neezy believes could redefine podcasting in Zimbabwe.
“We might not have the biggest numbers yet, but we’re creating something timeless, something that will last,” he said.
The journey hasn’t been easy: doubt creeps in, frustration hits.
The pressure is real, but quitting was never an option.
“The journey is tough, but when you love what you do, you keep going,” he said.
Beyond the mic, Neezy II is juggling music, life and ambition all while staying grounded in who he is: a free spirit, a creative mind and a visionary with his eyes firmly set on the future.
He encourages young people to act without delay.
“Fear and outside opinion should not control your choices.
“The truth is, nobody starts with all the answers but success comes to those who are bold enough to try.
“Stop waiting, start now. Don’t let fear or opinions hold you back,” he said.
From the dusty streets of Pumula North to a growing global audience, Life It Out podcast is not just a platform, it’s a movement.
