UPCOMING afro and Nehanda sound musician, Craib “Mr Chocolate” Muchenjekwa, is ecstatic following the release of his debut album titled Gosheba Sheba.
The Botswana-based New Age Chimurenga Stouch Band lead singer said music has always been his dream, and is now ready to conquer the music industry.
Mr Chocolate features Botswana’s popular house-kwasa musician-cum dancer, Slizer, on the title track, Gosheba Sheba.
In an interview with Standard Style, the musician said: “Music is in my DNA, and I am very excited to have launched my debut album, which I believe will open doors for me.”
Mr Chocolate said he met the talented Motswana songstress at a recording studio where he was recording, and Slizer immediately fell in love with his music.
He then took this as an opportunity to ask her to do a collaboration with him.
“Back in Botswana, I was at a recording studio where I was booked [for] my recording, and Slizer walked in,” Mr Chocolate said.
