Gweru based artist breathes more life in the dancehall arena as he makes it neccessary that the genre is free of violence and hate speech.
Leeroy Munyaradzi also known as King Larry Fire by music fanatics is a member of “Matsotsi Music Crew,” a brand which is an influential antenna for the youths and elders who reside in the Midlands province.
This crew has vowed to support and alter the dancehall genre which is considered to be harmful to the society. Dancehall music has been known for conflicts and violence.
The Matsotsi music crew got rid of this pattern and turned the dancehall music industry into a meaningful music genre.
“Dancehall is our everyday life experience, we sing what we encounter, and therefore the society creates the content for us. We come from the dusty Ghettos and we are proud to dance all day and night in the dust but society is too busy to draw us” said King Larry Fire.
The “Hapana Chavanacho” hit maker does not dissolve his responsibility as an artist to spread positive message in the community.
His track “Vakazvigona seyi?” by Divergence studios has dissolved the perception that dancehall is violent.
He urged ghetto youths to refrain and abstain from drugs and other substances that are harmful to human health.
King Larry laudably vowed “The track became popular across Midlands Province because of its enlightenment and positive vibration”
Jah Reezy the co-founder of the crew suggested that every youth deserves to be given a chance to express his/her talent in the society. He also added that, “reggae is culture, gospel is soul, and dancehall is a way of life.”
King Larry’s latest release “Dem Fi Know” which was produced by Terry Bho at Acquisitive Studio also shed light to the youths that they can succeed in life. King Larry remarks “youths are the future leaders of tomorrow.”
Dancehall is the most common vibe in the streets.”We really love and support our local artists if they continue dropping clean lyrics and upfull messages” said Shelton Gumbo a music fanatic.
Matsotsi Music Crew in Midlands has galvanized the dancehall world with their influence and impact in Midlands as they promise to continue creating champions and leaders in the Youths and Arts Industry. #TheSun
