Guspy Warrior determined to set the pace

By Melody Gwenyambira

Zim dancehall superstar Guspy Warrior is determined to set the pace in this particular genre. This follows his revelation that Zim dancehall is not at its peak as some may say.

“I can’t say that dancehall music is at its peak, but after the launch of my sixth album titled Wedzera Mawatts on Thursday, it will be.”

Born Emmanuel Manyeruke, the Seunononga hit maker is set to release his 12- track album on Star FM and launch it at the Harare gardens on Saturday.

The mafia 19 boss has featured red hot chanters Jah Prayzah in a love song called Love Yako. The chanter also features Msengezi High School Choir (his former school) in a song titled Vana Inhaka.

“I also did one of my father’s gospel song with him. It has a reggae beat with gospel lyrics.

“My father has a clear view what art is. In regards to me singing my type of music and his, he said kana uchirima chibage woita hurudza mwana wako akatevera orima fodya oiita hurudza mese muri varimi, chasiyana imbue.”

Guspy Warrior also highlighted that he is a Christian who is also a Rastafarian and does not take alcohol. However, he is not judgemental towards those that take it.

“I also did a song for those that take alcohol. Many a times those people are judged but I don’t judge them.”

The musician noted that the album’s lyrics are ‘clean’.

“My music is clean. With Seunononga I get inspiration from kongonya, a dance that has always been around. Seunononga is just a simple dance where you bend down and dance.”

The album Wedzera Mawatts was produced by Legendary Music Sounds. H Metro
