Hot new comer Blot a.k.a the Grenade from the Chill Spot Records has joined the movement of artists performing with pony tails reminiscent of MTV Base Africa awards 2016 Best Stage performer Cassper Nyovest.
He recently toured Victoria Falls and was a last entry by public demand to share the stage at par with award winning Killer-T a.k.a. The Chairman –it is at this tour that he switched up his stage attire adding a golden pony tail to his look.
Blot (real name Takura Chioniso) came onto the mainstream dancehall scene with collaboration with Bounty Lisa “Chingungundengu” which is street slang for a prolific element that is rather on the extreme.
At just 19 years old, the young chanter has won the hearts of his home crowd in Mbare before taking on radio –Chingungundegu currently sits at number nine on the ZiWorld Chart Show hosted by Captain Awesome Saturday 10:00-14:00 hrs.
Tour manager DJ Fantan said: “This kid is a stage performer and he was born on stage, so this time he made sure he had a surprise element to please his fans the same way international acts like Cassper [Nyovest].”
The new look is not permanent as Blot is dubbed to add stage appearance to his live persona in the same way that Gaff President Winky D has managed to make headlines with an array of looks from Ninja gear to Martian costumes.
“The pony tail was just for the Vic Falls show. Wait and see how he will change his look every time on stage. This is very important because artists from Mbare are not born on radio, they are born and raised on live stages and he will certainly make it at this rate,” said DJ Fantan.
Blot is one the very dancehall artists in Zimbabwe to take two berths on the ZiWorld Chart show as he quickly jumped up the charts with his second number ‘Ndiri bad’ which sits three places behind ‘Chingungundengu’ at number 12.
