Is Nutty O's "Cornerstone" the ultimate foundation upon which the entire Zimbabwean music industry rests?
In biblical terms, a cornerstone represents the rock upon which the weight of an entire structure rests, providing stability and strength.
Just as Jesus is described as the "Chief Cornerstone" of our faith, ensuring the stability of our salvation, Nutty O's latest mixtape "Cornerstone" seems to be fulfilling a similar role within the Zimbabwean music scene.
In the realm of musical exports, one artist stands out as a true contender for greatness: Ability Extension. With exceptional talent and potential, they're set to leave an indelible mark on the Zimbabwean music scene and potentially secure a Grammy and other international awards.
Previously, many believed that "Mustard Seed" was the last exceptional album to emerge from Zimbabwe, with no other release coming close in terms of impact and quality.
However, "Cornerstone" is proving to be an absolute masterpiece. Those fortunate enough to attend the listening sessions have echoed the same sentiments the buzz around the project is real.
What sets "Cornerstone" apart from other releases is the collaborative effort with seven extraordinary artists, one from Malawi and the other from Zambia. This collective includes Chris99, Nasper, Bling4, Bagga, Driemo from Malawi, Roberto from Zambia, and Mkiller.
Each artist's contribution has infused the mixtape with a unique flavor and adding remarkable depth to the overall sonic experience.
