Being honored for your stellar work or contribution is the greatest thing one can ever achieve. The Zimbabwean Hip Hop Awards will do just that for artists putting in work at the event in Harare on the 15th of December.
With hip hop being considered the most competitive genre in the world and filled with egomaniacs penciling their bars and releasing wax to differentiate themselves from their competitors. In the minds of the emcees, bagging a few accolades is a sure ticket to "bragging rightsville" in the hip hop world.
A record 25 categories have been announced.
