Now one time for my girl in H-Town
Big body Imma take down
Two time for my girl Bulawayo
Masvingo, Gweru muriseiko
Girl you drive me crazy
You drive me crazy
Calling you at six in the morning
You drive me crazy
You drive me crazy
Calling you at six in the morning

The seventh single off the Pungwe Sessions Vol. II kicks off with what is undoubtedly one of the most gripping 8 bar sequences on the project. From the reverberated vocals of Bulawayo wordsmith, ASAPH to the funk-filled guitar licks of the talented Sylent Nqo and the unmistakable vocals of Zimbabwe’s Pop Queen Ammara Brown.

In what promises to be a seminal pop anthem, ASAPH and Ammara trade words as they speak about the beautiful infatuation that will have you up all night thinking about a special someone and calling them at 6 am before the break of dawn. The song is peppered by the guitar riffs of virtuoso Sylent Nqo which sit atop another masterful Rymez production accentuated by  Pop synths and melodious percussions.

The song and its subject matter have already proved to be a radio hit that has inspired hilarious reaction videos like this one.

Calling is available for streaming on all major platforms as part of the Pungwe Sessions Vol. II project.


About Pungwe Sessions

In 2014  Point Black and its African Hip Hop Blog brand partnered with Rymez on a collaborative project called Pungwe Sessions . The goal was to showcase Zimbabwe’s best Hip Hop talent by leveraging The African Hip Hop Blog’s and Rymez’ collective reach and relationships to maximise exposure. The first single titled “Phil Chiyangwa” by Jnr Brown held the top spot on the ZiFM Urban Chart for 10 weeks. 3 more singles were released from the EP. All 4 singles on The Pungwe Sessions charted on various radio stations in Zimbabwe. They have been playlisted on various radio stations in Zimbabwe, South Africa, Zambia, Namibia, Australia and, The USA as well as playlisting on 2 seasons of the Big Brother Africa reality show. The artists involved with the project were able to draw direct economic benefits from on the project via publishing royalties and performance bookings.

With Pungwe Sessions Vol. II which is supported in partnership with Goethe Institut and The Zimbabwean German Society, Point Black and Rymez are looking to follow up on the success of the first project and create more impact for the artists involved. Pungwe Sessions Vol. II is a collaborative album that hopes to elevate Zimbabwean musicians via education, collaboration and promotion
