Mzee Abdul Juma, the father to Tanzanian Bongo crooner, Diamond Platnumz, has ventured into music. And he is not joking this time round.
He has three stage names. You can call him Baba Diamond aka Big Lion or Mzee Mondi.
He has released a collabo with upcoming Tanzanian artistes Sungura Madini, Promis Nyota and Blod Gaz in a new song dubbed, Mwewe,which dropped yesterday April 2.
Mwewe is a love song and it has that Bongo touch. Whoever sung the chorus did justice on the song. The soothing vocals are on point.
However, the verses are below bar especially where Diamond’s father tries to rap or is it sing . You can clearly tell he is struggling. He also looks a tad too drunk for the song.
But the husky voiced guy who joins in the 1.14th minute has talent . He raps like Chidi Benz. Let’s just say he is a good rapper.
When it comes to video, the video producer flopped badly. The video is shoddy. You might think it was shot with a pinhole camera.
Whoever shot and directed the video should pull up his socks. The video vixens look like villagers. The video is not eye friendly at all.
The only thing is that is attractive in this song is the mellow chorus and that verse from the husky voiced rapper. But if you love comedy, the part where Diamond’s dad tries to grind on a vixen will tickle you.
Check out the song and be the judge.
