Pops Jabu - Nyika - Video
PUBLISHED:  Sep 06, 2013
DESCRIPTION:
UrbanWorld are proud to continue their African flavored releases with the debut of Zimbabwean born Pops Jabu. With a mixture of explosive energy and clique language vocabulary, Pops Jabu has been performing live for several years solo and in constellation with Junkyard Productions. His lyrics touch topics like, sex, money, integration and colonial/pre-colonial Africa. Junkyard producer "Dubpirate", previously known on UrbanWorld laydown the beats on Pops first solo EP 'Jabulani' which means "be happy".

Pops vocals are multilingual, emphasized in the title track Nyika where he breaks down barriers between the two major Zimbabwean tribes Shonas and Ndebeles, by singing words of unity and peace in Shona, Ndebele and English over the heavy dub beat. Be Zimbabwean first before you are a race, color or tribe. UrbanWorld natives Los Chicos Altos funk it up in a real funk burner while San Franciscan Izzy Wise turns the dub sounds into a latin groove.
