Zimbabwean artist H3nry has released his second solo effort title W.T.F. The 5 track EP starts off a little cold and picks up the pace in a big way towards the end. The last two songs- You Want It and Sally ar are by far the standout offerings. The former features a sample of KC & The Sunshine Band's "That's The Way I Like It" that is chopped and screwed as H3nry delivers an impressive verse. On Sally the 20 year old ZImbabwean delves into the topic of mental trauma and sexual assault on a well produced tracks assisted by the vocals of Yoza Mnyanda.
