UK based Zimbabwean artist Karizma just dropped the video for his laid back, Young Nash produced track Shisha Pipe. The Ofentse Mwase and Richboy directed video was shot in a swanky luxury apartment in Sandton Johannesburg and features a cameo from Zimbabwean producer Yagi Dojo as well as a number of beautiful women who are all queuing up to light upKarizzy‘s Shisha Pipe.
This is definitely a great set of visuals that will be celebrated in Zimbabwean Hip Hop circles. But the oft repeated question of when and how Zimbabwean Hip Hop will gain regional appeal remains. Maybe working with the talented duo of South African directors on a song with a sound that seems to be popular at the moment will help put Karizma over the edge.
