LeonMwanaWaJoze Speaks on Sell Outs Who Worship Where Their Bread is Buttered in New Song!

World-over, hip-hop has a reputation of facilitating a medium for human beings to engage with intellectual social commentary, protest, and fight for change.
In Zimbabwe, every generation has been gifted its own unique iconic figures to articulate the struggles and concerns of the people, and for this generation, it's the intellectual emcee Leon Mutembedza who has taken up the mantle.

Mutembedza is known for being a Christian hip-hop artist who packages his lyrical proficiency and cadence to give hope and strength amidst struggles he sees as affecting the majority who have faced common struggles.

Recently, Mutembedza released a song called "Judas and The Black Messiah," which has raised some interesting conversations in the Zimbabwean hip-hop community.
At the same time, another young rapper, Holy Ten, has been facing criticism for switching sides from his socially conscious track titled "Ndaremerwa," where he spoke about the Zimbabwean Lives Matter hashtag, to a more ambiguous position.

Is this a Holy Ten Diss?

Holy Ten had also recently participated in a socially conscious song called "Ibotso" by Winky D, which attacked the perpetrators of high corruption in the country. Holy Ten expressed regret for participating in the song and implied that he was trapped into it. Although the song did not mention any political parties, many analysts claimed it was against whoever took offence.

It must be noted that Leon does not explicitly say who this is for but many listeners on Twitter on Facebook seem to suggest it is a jibe at Mujaya.

He is the challenge!

Mutembedza challenges other Zimbabwean hip-hop artists to consider where their funding is coming from and not to accept money from the real trouble causers. As such, anyone who is on the right side of things should be happy to share it. He believes that music can be a powerful tool for change and that artists have a responsibility to use their platform to speak out about social justice issues.

Through his music, Mutembedza is not only speaking out against corruption and oppression in society but is also encouraging other artists to use their platform to do the same. He believes that his song speaks of a place where freedom of speech is promised, but the outcomes are not guaranteed.

It is important to note that Mutembedza's song is a work of creativity, and he himself did not give any specific interpretations to it. Nonetheless, the song is an excellent example of how music can be used to address social issues and promote change. Hip-hop has always been a fun and clever genre, filled with allegory and other literary devices that get the job done.
The song was exclusively dropped on our streaming service and you can stream it below.
