Ndi iteni?

Hupfi ndo thoma ndi tshi ni shona

Lwone lwa mela duvha le nda thoma u ni vhona

Matoni anu ho dala nyofho

Ndi azwi divha u’ lufuno ndi mbofho

Fhedzi ndi tshi ni fara ndi a zwi pfa

Nne na inwi ri nga ro tou vhewa

Ngazwo ndi tshi ni vhudzisa

Nda ni humbula ndi iteni?

Muthu wanga mmbudzeni

Uri nda ni humbula ndi iteni

Ndi khou ni funa fhedzi thi di ndi iteni

Hupfi ndi tshinakela vhavhoni

Fhedzi ni siho tsini nne a thi koni

Adam na Eva vho phusukanya zwothe

Hai ni divhe a si phindulo yone

Zwine nda pfa hezwi ro dzumbama zwa shango

A thi todi zwi tshi kumbwa nga mulambo

Ndi a ni funa ndi tou kundwa luambo

Nda ni humbula ndi iteni?

Muthu wanga mmbudzeni

Uri nda ni humbula ndi iteni

Ndi khou ni funa fhedzi thi di ndi iteni

A thi tsha tea na u zwi bula

No nakesa muthu wa vhathu

Ngazwo ndi sa fhidzi u ni fusha

Ngau’ tshiseo tshanu tshi fusha nne

Ni songou ofha tshithu

Mafhungo a lino o dalesa

Fhedzi a ngoho vha a tiba nga swiswi

My birthday song

Roll a spliff meditate and seek wisdom

Jah guide and protect I from the sinful

Rise and shine do not miss ya train

We shall never cease prayin for your kids

This world is amiss and all is not it seems

Drink ya water but this blood never sleep

I am anointed so I forever dream

Some are disturbed see how they creep

See they obsessed you’ll hear them screaming in their sleep

I’m a man of order so don’t you question my kindness

It’s just your mentality that’s too much for my liking

Get up early mornings we gon’ smoke some more

Them don’t like it

But we keep it burning we sure

Wicked running from this fire

We praising the most higher

We notice the sun never shine and we suffer

Pushed to the limit, but we never dread

We the guerrillas we sing songs in Zion

The fake are gonna face with the lion

The descendants of Moses, the children of Nnzene

Even the valiant tremble when we utter

Overstand this life is but a blessing

That’s why we give I time to I-self

So please give I peace so I rest

There’s no turning back this is I-path

Boys go home this is man test

Scary scary fools I man done past that

Building the ark, Noah had the motivation

Men weak today tomorrow we a go conquer

Look at the earth, it’s full of fruits for man

Children give thanks to the Man

Who never disown nor leave you

Me Afrikan you cannot teach me

I have my educator that you cannot dictate

You found me living so you free to leave

I’m a son of the queen ask those who met her

My father’s not a pastor so reflect before you stutter

So long we been the subjects of humility

I’ll carry that torch and you won’t stop me

Your conversation won’t reach me I’ll be far in the village

Wicked hand burn I reside in a furnace

I’m true wicked killer

And I live, me believer

From the demon I deliver

My lyrics flow akin to a river

Am not after gold and silver

I’m a serene money maker

Not here to be a lover

Cos these moves will soon be over

So my enemy run for cover

Khakhathi & Friends : Ndi tshivhotshwa feauturing Mudededzi

Khakhathi & friends has released their latest offering titled "Ndi tshivhotshwa". The album features the hit track, Mudededzi, which has been receiving massive airplay recently. Khakhathi, whose music never compromises when it comes to protest songs, has come out very strongly against politicians who are plundering the government's monies while people who voted them to power are suffering. "Mudededzi" on the other hand pays tribute to the teachers who Khakhathi refers to as the pillar of the community.

Khakhathi's music has been well-received by his loyal fans over the years, and this album is one of the best to come out of 'Madakani'. Get yourself a copy today and fight with Khakhathi against them foreigners who are flooding our land, while we suffer.

P. Postman's new single

P. Postman (Percy Mukwevho) has released his latest single titled "I'm a legend". I got myself a copy this past weekend and I must say my expectations were very high when I bought the disc. Guess what! I'm not dissapointed at all, I got more than what I had expected. The boy is really a legend in the making. I can't wait for the full album which is scheduled for release early in 2012.

The disc has four songs, "I'm a legend", "Got you all ready", "Ndo enda" and "Ndo enda (Accoustic)". For enquiries you can contact P. Postman's Manager, Jah Major @ 083 7016 228 or fortune@rudebwoy.co.za

youth of today

It is hard if you ask me

For what the children need

Faded hopes and dreams

Reality wrecks havoc in their lives

But we know to fret not

Jah is who we trust

We are the youth of today

It is dread but we are never afraid

Let’s stand firm, unite and fight

The streets are not safe

Rest assured, Him never fail

Let them sin all them want

The battle’s already won

The yesterday’s bloodshed

One day brothers will be united

We are the youth of today

It is dread but we are never afraid

Let’s stand firm, unite and fight

Lost souls pine to reach home

In the darkness we fear to be alone

It is our land yet we live like slaves

They say we’ll dig our own graves

Children fear not

Jah is who we trust

We are the youth of today

It is dread but we are never afraid

Let’s stand firm, unite and fight

Malondolo Our Venda Diva

The first track I heard by Malondolo was “Ndiadiphina” on Phalaphala Fm. I was taken aback by such a voice, full of energy and oozing confidence. Upon hearing the name Malondolo, I quickly browsed the net looking for this mesmerizing lady from the motherland. I was disappointed as I did not find anything worth reading about Malondolo except her facebook pages; something I hoped would be sorted shortly as it is extremely difficult to find information about our Venda artists on the net, and as that does not make it any easier to market themselves. I was excited when a few days letter Malondolo posted a website address (www.nambidzadevhula.org.za) where fans can obtain more information about her and other artists from the north. Enough about that, a few weeks ago I got my copy of Malondolo’s album beautifully titled “Ndi a livhuwa”.

This album is a must-have for all those looking for something fresh for the ear, while reminiscing about the good old days when people would just sing for the love of music. The album is a fusion of Venda traditional dance song, Jazz and Soul accompanied with such powerful voice from Malondolo.  The opening track on the album, “Zendekela”, surely will bring back lots of memories to many. The album has 10 beautifully done tracks. My personal favourite tracks from the album are “Thungununu nemulamboni”, “Wonderful joy” and the title track “Ndi a livhuwa”. Other tracks include “Sialala”, “Shavha mbevha”, Mathada” and “Iyo”. Malondolo, who is being hailed as the Queen of Tshivenda traditional music, is surely going places with her music, having been nominated for the 2011 edition of the SATMA awards. 

Malondolo’s album has been nominated in two categories, Best Ethno soul and Best song of the year for “Ndi a livhuwa”. This is a big achievement for this down-to-earth singer from Venda. It is a sign that she is headed in the right direction, and I for one cannot wait to see her career blossoming as I believe it’s only a matter of time before this time bomb explodes. Fans are urged to vote for Malondolo so she can bring the awards home.

To vote for Malondolo follow these easy steps.
